Re: modifying the a-135 quad mixer module

2005-11-20 by Tim Stinchcombe

To do this looks relatively straightforward. The PA381 is a current 
output device: the currents output from pins 1 & 7 of both chips all 
come together at one end of J1, and are summed by one op amp in the 
TL082 - pin 6 is the summing junction, pin 7 the o/p, pin 5 grounded. 
So you would have to replicate this op amp set-up - a 47k feedback 
resistor, 22p stability cap (C13) and 1k o/p resistor - for each 
section. The second op amp in the TL082 is unused, but it would 
probably be easier to use a TL084 on a separate piece of 
stripboard/whatever.

It's getting late in the UK, but I can maybe supply more help 
tomorrow if needed!
