Mod Allen & Heath for direct outs?

Sorry, I never did.

Sorry for waking the poseidon, but new thread is a waste.
It can be done and is quite easy, except for the output attaching part.

It needs some creative approach, so I used jacks from an old british console, that was not really worth saving for its poor build quality. Maybe will use the preamps in the future.



I used microphone cable for the direct outs. Seems noiseless, but makes the jack DIY jack module more difficult to force in place. The shield lugs were connected together with a rod. I did precision measurements to get them side by side and it was a tight fit because of FET radiator of the power supply.

Oh, and this is all post EQ, pre fader! I suggest this one if you want to simultaneously record and track through.. let's say PA system.

In case the video gets removed in the future: Red-hot; Green-shield; Blue-neutral

If You're gonna do it the same way, I'd suggest to have the mount points of the socket plate on the corners, not on sides. This wasted at least a cm of space.
