The inductor in series with the bus is to decouple bus capacitance and prevent instability.80hinhiding said:Just found the group amps as well here:

I have some questions because I want to learn more about all this.
What's the inductor doing in the mix amp? Do you guys ever use bobbin/ferrite core with nice results? They're compact, and cheap.
I am guessing they like 30k resistors... I opened several schematics but didn't see any bus feed resistors before giving up. Now I need to delete those files.The back to back electrolytics there on input and output (positive poles in facing each other) are configured like that to make sure the dc conditions stay the same and the positive supply does not get into the AC? I was going to configure a mute switch similarly, but hadn't pictured the poles facing that way.
Anyone know what value the bus feed resistors are? I see a 22K log pot there in the mix amp so I was wondering what the gain is.
Also, the symbol for 100K there in the feedback loop, I haven't seen that before. What does it represent?

80hinhiding said:I just tried the first stage of the SSL 4000 channel line amp on the breadboard, as I want to try it out as a potential summing amp. I sent input to (55) 57 and grounded (57) 55. Is this the right approach for virtual earth summing with this amp?
It sounds pretty good, but I'm not really doing full listening tests right now. I'd say it was a positive result however. I'm going to compare it to the discrete line amp I have built and then to Ian's Twin Line Amp.
I might have a switch to choose between summing amps.. that's the thought at least.

3dB loss in the panpot and 15k bus resistors is consistent with 22k feedback for unity gain.80hinhiding said:Anyone know what value the bus feed resistors are? I see a 22K log pot there in the mix amp so I was wondering what the gain is.
It's the european symbol for trimpots.Also, the symbol for 100K there in the feedback loop, I haven't seen that before. What does it represent?
80hinhiding said:And when you feed an unbalanced line to that circuit you connect the + input to ground?
Looking at the schematic I thought opamp labeled T2 was handling the virtual earth mix duties (giving gain/trim options) while the opamp labeled T8 was to invert the inverted to preserve polarity? I could see that opamp T8 was at unity.
