#276174 - 17/02/2006 15:42 In car mixer?
rob carpal tunnel Registered: 21/05/1999 Posts: 5335 Loc: Cambridge UK	Cambs Car Audio will be doing an install for me soon, but there's one aspect they can't help with. I need to source an in car mixer so I can connect.. - Empeg - Sat Nav - Hands Free Kit - iPod Jack ..all mixed in to the master. I realise some of those sources won't be at line level but that's easy to fix. What isn't easy is finding a suitable mixer! I've seen them in show cars but I can't find a source - any ideas? Thanks! Rob

I think there's even a post here on the BBS somewhere with the schematic... _________________________ Tony Fabris

Yes, in fact we have some mixers at Alesis which can run on 12V, however in this case I'm looking for something packaged appropriately for the application. The ones I've seen bolt into the DIN bays in the trunk where the DVD or CD Changer would normally go, and have rotary faders to set the levels. I guess I could hack something together but I don't have much time at the moment Rob

rob carpal tunnel Registered: 21/05/1999 Posts: 5335 Loc: Cambridge UK	That's getting close, and in fact other products at that site are closer. However, none of them quite do what I'm looking for - a 4 channel stereo mixer. It doesn't seem like such a lot to ask for but nodody seems to make them! The closest I've got: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=31137&criteria=mixer&doy=21m2 However that seems designed for Mic inputs, and the SNR is terrible. I'm going to have to make my own :-( Rob
