Project: Ward Beck Line Input --> Rackmount Mic Pre

Thanks, Steen! Will do.

Anyone know where I can buy an AC mains/power jack in the U.S.? Do any brick and mortar stores sell them or would I have to order online?

I'm guessing I'll just have to order online. Something like this:

Hahaha.. yeah, exactly. A whole ten steps out of the room to pick up the old PC off the floor.

Question for you, Steen.. whenever you can look at your modules up close.

Are the lines on your boards going from R71 and R72 (top side, toward the face) open? It looks like someone has scratched them in order to open the connection.. because I'm pretty sure I never did that! I just noticed.

Just rip the one out of your coffee machine!

 

[austinm08]

Soooooooooooooooo are you done yet Austin? Come on what's the hold up? I want to see and hear come on, come on.

I still need to figure out some of the circuitry.. it takes me forever because I'm a n00b. Then I also need two XLR jacks, and then I need to figure out how to fasten it all inside the chassis. I hope it works!

XLR jacks? Your coffee machine won't help you out much there!
Do you need some?

 

[austinm08]

Yeah, unfortunately I don't think I have any broken gear that I can salvage some from. I'll probably resort to ordering a couple online..

you're looking at 8 preamps with 20db pad and +48, that double as a 4stem summing mixer

 

[moresound]

Wow I can hardly contain myself.

No, No I really want to see the out come of this project. Bet it will be great.

Like your new location marker Paul.

Awesome, dude! That's going to be sweet.

I haven't been home in so long.. been so busy working on a big video project with school.. haven't had time to tinker with my little baby project! haha. Keep it up!

Looks pretty exciting... but it also looks as though you could build a neater product by flipping a 12 u portable rack case on it's side. I hate wood in the studio, unless it's spontanious
