Thanks for the advice, PRR. I will follow your recommendation and add a stereo mini-plug beside the XLR output for added flexibility. I am trying to complete a functional single channel version - which I will use with my shotgun mic - before I commit to a stereo version.
I've etched a PCB of the latest version and I am yet again having issues when I power it up. I end up with most of the voltage at the positive pin rather than evenly split (30V+ to 2V-). I don't understand why as the circuit is the same as the previous ones, which all worked, minus the output transformer. When I disconnect the circuit from the power supply I get +/- 16V. I have also removed the filter caps at the supply pins to make sure it is not an issue with them. I know I'm probably committing some very elementary error, but it is not obvious to me. Needless to say that it is extremely aggravating trying to find a problem that previously wasn't there.
