Subject description: Is it possible to increase the gain?
Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

I want to use PHoBos’ - Bandersnatch - 4 input mixer in my lunetta build and am wondering if it is possible to increase its output level (by changing the feedback resistor values?) . I am asking because I am sending a signal from a vactrol controlled passive low pass gate into the mixer and the output volume of the mixer is very low.

Instead of increasing the feedback resistor I would reduce the input resistor(s), the ones that are now 150K.
I choose those values to add some extra attenuation so the output would be more or less a standard line level voltage.

You could change the feedback resistor but it's a bit silly to first attenuate the signal and than amplify it again.
The only thing you have to check is if the signal isn't clipping in the first stage.

Ah yes of course that makes much more sense: simply changing the 150K resistor values. Thanks!

UPDATE: As it turned out there was no need to replace the resistors at all. I found out I forgot to connect the 358 to VCC Embarassed

Ah yes that reminds me .. after forgetting to connect power lines .. all the time ... or after connecting them to the wrong pins .. i started using sockets for ICs .. and measuring the power lines before inserting the ICs. ... unless i forgot that last bit .. of course .. as i always wanted to hurry things up Laughing

Anyway, my later switch to doing everything with software instead of hardware helped a lot for damage avoidance Rolling Eyes

but eh . it is a bit less romantic of course Wink
