We put a bunch of simple build options in the original 10 LED GR meter: Diode rectifier, constant current, Vreg etc. That board generated more support questions, due to it's options, than all the Pico Compressors combined. And you're right that a balanced insert adds another line receiver. I think s...

I had completely forgotten about BI Technologies pots from TT Electronics. They recently ran an ad in the AES Journal and will be exhibiting at NAMM. They've built a product web page just for Pro Audio:

John - I think anyone wanting/needing dynamics on a per-channel basis could just do it ahead of the line input. Having a CV insert seems feature-creepish and I doubt anyone would use it. For the added interconnect overhead there would be a lot more mileage if it just had a TRS insert send/return in ...

I am speaking from the cuff and don't know if the PICO has a easy to implement feed forward mode. Since the VCA is feeding a summing bus, feedback topology is not available The Pico is a feed-forward topology. I wouldn't put a compressor in the unit however. I can see that with 100 dB cutoff how on...

Thanks John for posting the drawing. Happy New Year to you and all!

Check out the alignment of the moon tonight. What planet is that?

I believe it's Venus. Very, very bright here.

I ordered new prototype boards yesterday which should be here Friday. Thanks for updating the layout Roger!

I'm busy today trying to ship some product before end of the year

You mean like "work?" I got a few orders this week too with end-of-year shoppers. Thanks guys!

John - I think we would need full attenuation on pan. People are so used to that. Maybe we should consider a "dual slope" pan law with -20 dB/V below center (-5V FS for -100 dB) and +1 dB/V above center (+5V FS for +5dB). The opposing channel could follow the inverse of this. The breakpoin...

WRT to extreme boost we probably wouldn't need more than the +4 to 6 dB from pan if even that. I still think that if we can save an op amp or two per input in the pan circuit using both ports we ought to do that. IIRC when we last visited that you were going to have a beer and think about. How did t...
