[Elecraft] Mixer for audio

All:


I did some testing with a $75 Rolls MX-28 three channel stereo mixer yesterday.

Here are my thoughts using it to split the audio from my K3 and JRC NRD 525 for SO2R monitoring:


You get what you pay for -

At 100W, there is no RFI evident

At 1500Wm I needed to add a number of #31 mix beads on the Power & audio I/O's to choke out RFI which manifested itself as a hum/buzz on CW and modulated junk on SSB.

The pots @ full CCW are not infinite attenuation

That being said - with the proper RF choking, the little mixer is OK for monitor use, but I would not put it in the airchain.

For my airchain, I use a AirCorp 500 PH Pro Announcer Mike Processor which, as a pro device, has internal RFI mitigation.

Most processors used for broadcast have this LF RFI mitigation so they can be used at a co-located AT tx/studio site.

I would start with any model of Rane or Mackie manufactured AFTER about
1998. That's around the time that both companies acknowledged their Pin
One Problems and corrected them. I'm recommending these companies
because their products don't have this problem. Most other products DO.
