Short: the simpliest passive audio mixer Author: Mindelis Yakov Introduction: ============= This file contains instruction for bulding simpliest audio mixer for merging Amiga's and CD-Rom's audio outputs. It should be totally safe, but anyway: ********************************************************************* I'm not responsible for no harm done to your hardware/audio equipment. ********************************************************************* Components: =========== 47 KOhm sliding stereo potentiometer x 2 1 stereo audio cable Construction: ============= Connect the output of the CD and amiga each to a separate potentiometer as below. My potentiometer looks like this (looking underneath the potentiometer): amiga right live (+) wire || output right live wire || || \/ \/ ___+____________+__+___ | | |___+___+___________+___| ^ ^ | |_ output left live wire amiga left live wire 1 The Ground (-) audio wires are connected directly to each other per side (ie both lefts to each other, both rights to each other). Cut the stereo cable in it's middle and use one half as input cable from Amiga side 2 Repeat the same for the CD-ROM (ie replace "amiga" with "CD" in the diagram) and simply merge the outputs accordingly (ie both right outputs together, both left outputs together). Use the CD-ROM's audio cable (it should be there, almost every CD-ROM has one) as input. 3 Connect the resulting output to amplifier/home stereo/Amiga Monitor audio jacks. If it has same jacks as Amiga's audio use the second half of stereo cable. Special thanks to Paul Irving for correcting this text before it was posted.
