Hi folks,
I am continuing my exploration of the G9 circuit, and I'm curious about these two things.
What is the benefit of the relay? I have two ideas. 1) So that you can keep the traces short by not having to run the mic inputs to the front of the panel and a switch? 2) Because there is some sort of protection inherent in a relay vs using a switch?
I'm doing a point-to-point/turret strip hybrid of this circuit, and I'm wondering if the relay is an important thing for the performance.
What is the purpose of R5? Better yet-does this resistor have a name so that I can look it up and learn more about the function? I have a couple guesses: 1) Does this somehow help insure that even an unbalanced signal will work in the circuit? 2) Does this do something to further balance a signal if for some reason it is "lopsided"?
Thank you for your help!
