Hi Tom,
Thanks for the kind offer but the only thing I've ever accomplished with a soldering pencil is the infliction of tremendous pain followed by severe blistering on three of my most strategic fingers. I do have a couple friends who are very good at soldering but I reserve asking them for any but the most important tasks. I'm sure that what I'm trying to find exists and it's just a matter of finding it. Take care, Ed Przybylek _____ From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:blindhandy...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tom Fowle Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 2:44 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Audio Mixer Ed, Unfortunately I don'tknow that there is a commercial mixer that is as simple as what we've made here for this exact purpose. What you want can be done with 4 varriable resistors )pots), 4 fixed resistors and the necessary jacks and plugs. This is a "passive' mixer, meaning it has no amplification built in, thus it must work into powered speakers. It will reduce the total max volume you can get from the speakers by a few DB, but this rarely should be a problem. If you have any building experience or have a friend who has, E.G. basic soldering, dreilling holes in a box, and the like, it's very easy to duplicate this device. If interested, let me know and I'll bung up a brief text discription of how it goes together for you. Again, sorry I don't know where you can just buy one. Tom Fowle smith-Kettlewell RERC.
