I've finally decided that after years of daydreaming about my DIY projects, it's time to actually do something. I need some advice on creating a Direct Output situation on my Yamaha PM-700. Actually, any other advice regarding the mixer would be appreciated as well. I have include a pdf file of the manual including schematic.
What I've learned so far is that the D.O. signal could be taken from the pan knob (note: this was mentioned in the archive but never elaborated)......(See p.5)
Do i need output transformers on each out. There are four transformers in the Output sections Could these be used on four...then maybe some other flavors on the other channels?
Also...I've seen archived threads suggesting upgrading the input TA7136 op amps? Anyone?
Perhaps the most valuable components are the NE80100...I understand the these are same footprint as API 2520 and John Hardy 990. How can i get some use outta these?
While I'd like to keep the mixer intact, I'm willing to chop it up and rack the pres if the potential is that much more. My ideal setup would be 12 pres modified differently maybe 8 one way and 4 another.
Thanks in advance for any help I receive..Hopefully others will benefit from this query, too.
havn trouble posting the schematic be up soon
