Description: This is a simple mixer featuring four inputs and two operational amplifiers (op-amps). It is designed for mixing microphones or effects outputs. The overall gain from input to output is unity when the potentiometer associated with the input is fully turned up. The circuit can achieve a net gain of ten or another reasonable gain by adjusting the components. It is a straightforward and cost-effective mixer circuit powered by a 9V supply. Each input channel has switchable high/low sensitivity options. The component part list includes: P1, P2, P3 - 5K linear potentiometers; R1, R11, R15 - 180K 1/4W resistors; R2, R12, R16 - 2.2M 1/4W resistors; R3, R13, R17 - 750 ohm 1/4W resistors; R4, R14, R18 - 1K 1/4W resistors; R5 - 15K 1/4W resistor; R6 - 220 ohm 1/4W resistor; R7 - 1.5K 1/4W resistor; R8 - 820 ohm 1/4W resistor; R9 - 150 ohm 1/4W resistor. This circuit is designed for one input channel; to create a five-channel mixer, five identical circuits must be constructed. The schematic diagram includes transistors TR1 and TR2 as FCS9015, TR3 as C1213, and operational amplifiers IC1 and IC2 as either 741 or TL071. A kit for this circuit is available.
This circuit can be utilized in various audio applications due to its versatility and simplicity. The operational amplifiers serve as the core components for mixing, providing the necessary amplification and signal processing. The gain control is facilitated through the use of linear potentiometers, allowing for precise adjustments to the mix levels of each input. The switchable high/low sensitivity feature enhances the circuit's adaptability to different audio sources, ensuring optimal performance whether dealing with low-level microphone signals or higher-level effects outputs.
The component selection is crucial for achieving the desired performance characteristics. The resistors are chosen to set the input impedance and gain levels appropriately. For instance, the use of 180K ohm resistors helps maintain a high input impedance, which is beneficial for connecting various audio sources without loading them down. The 2.2M ohm resistors contribute to the overall gain settings, while the lower-value resistors (750 ohm, 1K, etc.) are essential for establishing feedback and stability within the op-amp circuits.
In practical applications, this mixer can be used in small recording studios, live sound setups, or as part of a larger audio processing chain. Its ability to handle multiple inputs and provide a clean mix makes it a valuable tool for audio engineers and hobbyists alike. Furthermore, as the circuit is designed for easy replication, it allows for scalability in projects requiring additional input channels.
