Hello friends. I was thinking of using relays to engage a panning circuit when both 'left' and 'right' buttons are pressed in my group cards.
When either left or right are pressed (but not both), it removes the pan circuit, and sends L or R output directly to program bus.
I think Ian mentioned Neve used this method back in the day, but they had a trick way to do it (possibly created by Ian?) in that it avoided relays. Ian, if you're out there, do you recall how they did it? If not or if it requires 6 pole switches I'm comfortable going with relays.
My question is, does anyone see a problem with circumventing the pan circuit with regards to volume level? I imagine signal hard panned would be quieter than a left or right direct output going to program bus. Should I offset that with attenuation resistors or just leave the louder (slightly less noisy?) signal in play and pull down the fader if required?
