@@davidhildebrandt4891 in depth series, the initial episode is already out. Enjoy!

Can you please explain why should I use through hole components? Thank you.

@ well the market is divided in 2 segments Boutique (through hole, discrete etc etc) where the customer pay for human labour and pay for a desired quality and “exclusivity” and than Mass production (affordable surface mount products etc), unless you are not a big company like Behringer , Roland it make sense to refer you production to the first segment which is more niche but far more loyal and sustainable for one man or small company (one man company is impossible to compete with big corporations they can copy and replicate your SMT product for far more cheap that you can do), tho what big corporations can not do is to produce THROUGH HOLE products and maintain margins fir the same price of Boutiques, (if Pioneer would produce an exact copy of Condesa they would ask 10 000 or more to maintain sustainable corporate margins), tho BOUTIQUE companies are thriving (mixers, synthesiser, eurorack). this is from an economic sustainable business point of view. talking about my personal taste AUDIO ONLY THROUGH HOLE AND THROUGH HOLE ONLY never SMT CIRCUITRY for AUDIO DEVICES for me i would rather use just a laptop than any SMT. the Idea of bringing the 1620 as desktop and implemented with send/return/ eq/ iso like Condesa did with Bozak could be a winer key selling point 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hey, please contact Ecler directly.

@@fat_dubs I would love to know the scientific take on what makes summing good and be able to exactly name the qualities of good summing that can be exactly and repeatedly measured. So far my most used tool in this field is just ear and experiencing summing music instead of measuring this phenomenon. I will gladly think about the methods of measuring summing qualities and all the tips are appreciated.

@@fbarrillon thank you, appreciate your words!

@@crispu.s.thrift409 thanks for watching, answer to your question can be easily found in the manual or technical data available in the web.

Why would you need higher volume? In my opinion lower output voltage (not to be confused with power) is a sign of a GOOD gain staging and thanks to this you're protected from distorting the inputs of your amplifier. A lot of mixers have way too high output voltage and this mainly cause problems and usually doesn't bring anything good. Output voltage level of Omnitronic is sufficient to drive any decent amplifier. Is your amplifier too weak and you have problems witch achieving volume you want? Crank that volume knob up in your amp!

@@mixersinside Thank you for the fast reply! I´m using the mixers on the Funktion 1 SB8A (self powered) with the F5 tops. Unfortunately there is no volume knob to crank up :D.

@@minimlt check the input sensitivity in the amp data to have image what range of voltage do you need to provide. You didn't answer one important question - do you feel that your gear is too silent because of this?

@@mixersinside Yes, I feel it is on that system, compared to the DJM707, too silent. I just found this value: Sensitivity (1W at 1m) 96dB at 2.8V

@@minimlt i see. I didn't expect that - just be careful not to overdrive the input stage of your amp. The mod would be super simple, it requires just changing 2 resistors in the output section that set the gain. I can do it for you if you are willing to ship the mixer to Poland, but any electronic engineer will be able to perform this mod.

@@gabefm1 thanks for watching. What are you curious about regarding the crossfader circuitry? It's just a simple VCA crossfader circuit - that's the main reason why channel volume control is VCA based.

@ comparing to other cross faders on the market to predict breakdown.

@@gabefm1 how would you do this?

@ compare parts used in other mixers? Not sure, you are definitely more knowledgeable when it comes to individual components. I am in the difficult position of enjoying analog sound but most analog mixing boards are geared towards people that do not use cross faders. I have to take in to account the life expectancy of a cross fader as in my early years of DJing I had to buy multiple replacements when purchasing mixers as they would eventually breakdown. Maybe it is based in past components and not the reality of newer ones.

@@gabefm1 testing endurance of a crossfader will require to use it for years or build a mechanical tester that will slide it couple of thousands of times and it's too much hassle. Most often you can't judge parts durability just by touching them couple of times. As you noticed i also didn't comment potentiometers used - this mixer was released couple of months ago and time will show how they behave.

@@rebsutube good to know. I bet there will be no DIY kit tho. We will see :)

@@sickciarlatano old SONY camera for cassetes, i don't remember the model.

@@char252 take it easy

@ I’d appreciate it if you’d consider it

@@ben6527 please contact me: [email protected]

@@nckwntzl for now I see no chances for making it open source. I think that showing the process is already a lot compared to what other mixer makers are doing.

@@middlesidetopwise because i'm AI

@@danieleden1856 Thank you very much for those suggestions! Straight away I can say there will be no FX loop. Can you please explain what do you mean by "audio path integrity"?

@@lostinsotchi stay tuned. For sure changing the phono preamp will change the result.

@@tomg4320 cool to read this! Did you publish your project somewhere?

@@mixersinside tried to reply but it seems like links don't make it through? Yep, it's in my folio - google Sieger Audio

@@nvp-music as I already mentioned in the video it will be heavily inspired by 1620 and suited for my taste. I'm a fan of more minimalistic approach. But it's not said that this is the only mixer I will ever make.

Please consider to relese it as a DIY kit. 🥹

@@pablospace it will require soldering tiny SMDs so it will be unsuitable for most of the DIYers.

@@mixersinside I started DIY electronics as a beginner with keyboard kits that required soldeling small surface mount diodes, I don't feel it's impossible to overcome. More about the right tools and patience. Also if you were to opt to go open source with the design and allow folks to source our own PCBs, services can install the surface mount components pretty inexpensively. This is also a common route in the DIY ergonomic keyboard community.
