You should read the advantages and disadvantages of both here: However, once you start researching the topologies (shunt, series, ladder) and then consider how many step positions you would like in your control. Gain control COULD also be done with this relay method and would probably be the most awesome sounding overkill in such a device. In the past, I've toyed with adding gain control, but I feel the effort to build and then the sonic degradation is a step backwards.

To get 3 inputs, I simply placed one 'set' (of 4) relays on the input of a second 'set' of relays and used a 2 pole rotary switch to do the rest. My switcher does not have a gain control, I use RME soundcards which all feature TotalMix so I control the monitoring level digitally. They have the lowest known contact resistance.Įach relay is SPDT so for stereo balanced, you need 4 relays. The unit is built around a special type of relay with 'mercury wetted contacts'. I have built a 3-in, 2-out 'mastering-grade switcher', which has been in operation for many years and works reliably.

(essential in mixing section but also in tracking)

I'm not satysfied about the quality and clean of the various control room sections onboard on mixing consoles ,DAWS as pro control,control24,mackie presonus ecc.some days ago i worked on a mastering section about a my friend new album, and the resident engineer of the studio where mastering was made using various fantastic units (as the same.
