Re: A bit of help needed

2005-12-14 by selfoscillate

hello david,

for such cases i use four internally connected
a138c polarizing mixers. these form a 4x4 polarizing matrix mixer.
the benefit is that i can still use them as separate mixers
if i wish, the drawback is that this solution is a bit big in size
and that the offset function is not working as before.
to make life easier with the "center off" knobs on the a138c,
i use a few jacks and plug them into the unused inputs
to prevent accidental mixing.

best wishes

ingo
