Ok... thanks for the ideas and replies! Good stuff.
Okay, the extra switch will be used for VU Meter ON/OFF function. This actually makes sense as turning off the VU Meters will give you a bit longer battery life.
Also, all the switches have been replaced from the PushButton type, to the mini-Pushbutton type, to TOGGLE SWITCHES. ... per popular demand. I'm going to set them back farther also so you just have a small "stick" showing up in the hole. This makes accidentally toggling them a small chance.
ohror for those that would like to be safer in disabling 48v for extended periods of time without the chance of accidentally turning it on in the field...could there be an internal switch or jumper to disable the 48v circuitry?
Yes, there is an internal jumper. This should also save a bit of battery life if the 48V converter section is disabled.
BeanDoes that one have transformers in it Huh? I sure hope its at least an option!
Yep. It will be available with or without transformers. See this mockup photo.
The footprint will also allow the use of
Cinemag or
Jensen transformers. (of course, Jensen trafos will be more expensive)..... and *may* offer
Lundahl transformer option too... (have to check if there is enough height and space clearance). The Lundahl option will probably be more expensive than the Jensen as it will involve additional hardware parts.
