modding mixers: adding channel inserts

[peeves24]

i really wanted to get a new mixer but what bugs me is that i cant afford better quality with higher mic input count. parang nasasayangan ako kung papalitan ko lang din ng behringer na mas maraming inputs yung behringer mixer ko ngayon.

i also planned on building mic pres with op amps. tapos kakaresearch ko naging familiar na ko sa circuits ng mga mixer kaya instead na gumawa ako, naisip ko na lang na maglagay ng inserts sa behringer ub1202 ko




success! nagagamit ko na lahat ng 4 mic inputs papunta sa presonus firestation ko

messy pa yung gawa pero promise gaganda pa yan pag nakabili na ko ng proper connectors at breakout box

nice! E.E. ka rin pala! i'll shoot mine also and post... I used XLRs instead of TRS PL-55....pag balik ko post ko din pics...

Hehehe. Nisagot na kita sa PM, there was an easier and less intrusive way to do it.

Insert a PL plug in the fx insert plug but don't push it all the way in so that the signal won't cut out. That way you can get a "direct out" thing from your mixer. Ngalang if I remember correctly, it will not be subject to the mixer's EQ and gain controls because the tap is from the pre-EQ portion.

Turo lang din ni Boskit sa kin a long time ago.

yup i got your message but those individual insert plugs are actually missing from this low end mixer. the taps i made are post fader so i can also use the eq section 

nangati lang ako kagabi kaya sinubukan ko na rin

[peeves24]

nakakita ko ng 6 pin connectors sa deeco. bumili ng bagong box para sa 1/4" connectors. cat5 cable yung ginamit ko para sa interconnect.

[skynums]

astig ah..
pwede rin kaya yan sa xenyx 1202?

[peeves24]

yup

[skynums]

i see... pero hindi ako marunong masyado sa electronics.. hehe.. so i guess my only option is to buy a new one.. hehe..

[d6ynast9y]

this is cool, very inspiring.. ill start planning my own diy project..

First click method ito di ba boss BAMF? Yung sa akin gumawa ako ng improvised cable para kahit isagad ko pa ok lang. meron kasi akong china mixer na 24 channel with individual channel inserts. napaandar ko 8 simultaneous tracks using 4 berry UCAs. Di na masama yung resulta hehehehe.

Congrats parekoy!  Ang inserts actually are like taps  between the mic preamp and EQ.  Ganun lang ginawa mo o may circuit ka pang dinagdag?

[peeves24]

walang circuit. tap lang

nilagyan ko rin ng returns kaya lang wala ako makitang 9pin circular connector e. meron nung db9 na pang PC pero ang hirap naman icut ng butas nun sa chassis kaya puro sends lang hehehe

[irajames]

gusto ko gawin to!
bro paki turo na lang kung saan ko ikakabit yung wires.
