Output Line Driver

stereo output stage

The Output Line Driver is much more than just a balanced output converter. The overall gain may be precisely calibrated between -8.5dB to +8.5dB gain to match expected levels. A pre-Level stereo aux send and return is provided for interfacing to effects units. A Spin control provides feedback to the effects unit and an "X" crossover switch swaps left and right for ping-pong effects.

A stereo compressor may be switched in on the main outputs for subtle and unsubtle tone changes. This is based on a FET design used in a well known mixing console for listen mic compression and is also similar to the output VCAs of a well known synthesizer. The compression threshold may be preset to taste and the side chain input is available as an option for external control by audio or CV signals.
