[Elecraft] Audio Mixer in the Ham Shack

[Joel Black]

In my continued looking and reading, I have been coming across rack-mount line mixers. Since all I’m really trying to do is interconnect my equipment (the TX and RX EQs in the K3 and KX3 seem to work fine for me) and since someone mentioned the Shure SCM800, would there be any “gotchas” going that route? I’d have to build a new cabinet with rack rails, but I have been considering building a new set of shelves for my amateur equipment anyway. Any other gotchas I need to consider?

Thanks,

I have thought of that and that solution is not off the table. I have the Focusrite 2i2 sound card. This is a fairly new purchase and so far I am pleased with its performance. I have a mic for each radio - the MH2 for the K3 and the MH3 for the KX3. I could see where going to just one studio-type mic would be beneficial. With the TX and RX EQs in both radios, I really do not need the parametric EQ of a mixer.
