I made one too. It has three stereo slider potentiometers and two ordinary stereo potentiometers. It's definitely worth of the work. It takes a lot of patience. The multimeter will certainly not be idle. Sometimes there is a problem with the impedance of individual inputs. However, the second output would have to be solved via a unity gain buffer in combination with a good-sounding headphone amplifier, which might be better to make as a separate device, but I haven't started its construction yet.
If the sound level of your sources is not that strong... you can skip the 1K resistors.... or replace them with something smaller like 100 Ohm. Also you can replace the potentiometers with something like 5K instead of 10. I just made one a few days ago with two channels only.... in a lot of rush trying to have sound for a live feed here on YT ))) 10 was too much for the potentiometers. Great video. I love the box. Smart )
uncountable congratulations to you, this is a very simple and well diagramed project, I made it, and it works really fantastic, there is not any issues with it.
Good day, I'm Romy Lumabas from Davao City Philippines,71 years old, since I was 12 years old,my hobbies is fixing and learning a simple projects,I love that video, it's been a long time that im looking for a simple audio mixer, please give me a full schimatic diagram for that video,I like that video so much,I want to have my own audio mixer which I cannot afford to buy a new 1 because it's very expensive, thank you very much and God bless you
Try to buy at least the cheapest mic for the explanation and you see what would happen to your to channel within a few weeks. Thank you so much for saving my life
funny enough, your first diagram is not a mixer, but seems to be a splitter. yay. which is exactly what i was looking for, wonderful presentation, and video, production, yes buy yourself a microphone. you deserve it. i recommend the chinese BM800 for 17 Euro, it will do what other 70 Euro mics will do easily. a condenser microphone makes the dif. - a Splitter, as in you seem to have your inputs as outpus and your outputs as inputs. i m going to make a 10 route passive splitter, i might loose massive volume, but i don't care, they will go to guitar cabinets and a mixer that all have all the gain i could want per channel. also in your video diagram, your right jack seems to be the general input, and your left jack seems to be the bypass, i m guessing that would work exactly so - i m new to this field. (had to think this over and over until i could figure what is what) so cool that your video diagram was really what i was looking for ahahahaa, oh thank you. Jah bless, Jesus loves you find him.
Absolutely! just instead of soldering both channels to one potentiometer, solder one channel to each. Then you will have a separate volume control for left and right.
hello. any particular reason for 1k ohm resistors? i read that with higher resistor value there is less posibility of distortion but the signal will attenuate more. some guides also use 10k ohm. is there a sweet spot or is it not very relevant for such a small project?
Thanks for the video. What is the purpose of the resistors? I've only ever done guitar electronics and haven't used resistors. If I use 500k potentiometers for a mixer project like this (which I have from guitar projects), would I still need resistors?
After looking at your diagram i'm confused. Are the 5 jacks not used as inputs to mix it all together into one output? You label them as outputs. Also if it is mislabeled or easy to swap around how would I then make a master volume for everything?
Hey bex, my fault i swapped the names in the Diagram, i uploaded a new version and swapped names ;) You could try to put another potentiometer before the output. But I would suggest to test it on a breadboard first. Hope I could help you :)
Thanks for this, couple of questions. Are the two extra jacks for left out and right out? Also, how are you preserving the stereo input of each source? It looks like you are summing the left and right to one left of a potentiometer?
Great video. I was wondering if I would be able to make what you made and use it for plugging in multiple devices (computer, CD player, turntable mini preamp, tape player, etc) and using 1 of the outputs for a set of speakers? Basically trying to use a set of speakers with multiple devices. Would it work, or would I need to make one with only 1 output instead of 2? Thanks!
Hello. Thank you for this video. Few questions - Could you please show a demonstration video? I want to build this but if it doesn't work, it would be a waste. Also, I see that you have two outputs? Finally, since this is passive, won't there be any significant volume loss and/or quality degradation and/or noise?
Hi Asif Mahbub, the demonstration Video is in the making ;), as i said in the Video the circuit has some weak spots but for me its working fine like this. So you are right you will loose volume if you use both outputs. :) I hope i could help you so far!
Thank you very much! Just another question.. how do you connect the ground from the front connections of the potentiometers to the rear ones?, one by one individually? Or just the first of them? Thank you again! I'm trying to do the project but I'm kind of blocked with that
Amazing!! I needed it a lot, because I'm going to use it to put a play alone and listen to the sound of my guitar in the same headset. I can do with less inputs that does not interfere in the operation?
wonderful! just what I need for a noise set with multiple diy oscillators and phone/laptop. Only wondering if pots can be added to the outputs too. Cheers from Argentina!
hallo super anleitung!! wie muss ich vorgehen, wenn ich eines der stereo (in meinem fall xlr symm mono) auf beide ausgänge also in meinem fall xlr rechts und xlr links leiten möchte? danke für einen tip!
Are You using the Same wires for everything in this Mixer? Ich sehe gerade, dass du deutsch sprichst. Also noch Mal die Frage: sind alle Kabel die selben?
Hi Felix, alle Kabel sind technisch gleich nur die Farbe ist unterschiedlich um + und - besser auseinander halten zu können. Das ist das Kabel welches ich benutzt habe: www.conrad.de/de/conrad-components-605300-litze-liy-1-x-014-mm-weiss-25-m-605300.html Ich hoffe ich konnte dir weiterhelfen !
Hi, It can be used for a microphone, BUT you need to put an amplifier in the middle (plug the mic in an Amp and plug the Amp in the Mixer) Otherwise the Mic has no charge and can not work. Hope i could help you!
@@richardjamesmusictech6838 At the moment I'm just turning the volume very loud but I'd like to build an active mixer with a built-in amplifier soon. If you leave out the second output you'll get a bit more volume from the master too.
Hey, What exact section do you mean? Otherwise, the potentiometers at the end are simply reversed (lying upside down) in the housing. If thats what you mean.
MASUB in the diagram you have the audio jacks connecting to the potentiometer through the resistor. Towards the end of the video you show that the two don’t connect through a resistor and instead you loop the potentiometers together with the resistors leading to the output audio jack. I hope I explained that so you understand. Regardless, great tutorial, the result works great!
@@anthonyphillips409 Yes you're right, thanks a lot! I must have forgotten to change this in the diagram. I'll upload a modified Version of the diagram soon to download :).
Alguien me puede explicar porque son siete jacks? Se supone que cada potenciometro tiene un jack y deberia haber uno extra para la salida de sonido ya mezclado, pero no se para que hay otro de mas. Gracias.
@@shivahty4572 Hey buddy, its a PASSIVE Mixer, it doesent need to be powered! But you can only connect powered devices to it. Like a Korg Volca or an Amplifier.
