Hello everyone,
I wasn't exactly sure which section to post this in, so I hope moderators can move it if it's in the wrong place.
I'm looking to start the planning to build a simple DJ mixer. I know that DJ mixers can be had for quite reasonable prices these days, but I figure if I'm going to be paying upwards of $1k for a mixer, I might as well build one myself and use good components, and strip it of some of the extra features I wouldn't need myself.
I have a pretty basic understanding of electronics; I've built a few amplifiers (Tube, solid state) as well as many guitar effects and other gadgets before, thus I don't think it's too ambitious of a project.
It would essentially be a two channel mixer with a crossfader to fade between the two turntable inputs, maybe an AUX input and a microphone input.
It would be RCA inputs into a phono preamp (also want to make this switchable between line in and phono in)-->EQ section-->crossfader-->master outputs
Do y'all have any links to good examples or schematics of those different blocks? e.g. phono preamp schematic, great EQ schematics.
I've got all the schematics from Rane and am trying to piece this together bit by bit and plan the design of this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
