Hey; cool idea! What about adding holes for a PCB mounted, chassis XLR connector?

Why not ? (if the PCB is not too heavy in total or could nechanically be decently supported)...

[quote author="guavatone"] I hope I am the first to make a PCB of this.

I did etch a board but no parts have been soldered so no worries! It's just sitting in my pile of things I don't have time for right now.

It does have a fairly heavy input transformer onboard. Seems like too much weight to be pulling on the xlr solder pins. I find it easiest to drill XLR holes without regard to perfect alignment with a PCB. Maybe I'm too sloppy for pcb mounted XLRs.
Thanks for the head up Guavatone! And thanks again for the board file. I will eventually build one. I'll wait till it's confirmed and etch again. Kato

Definitely better then to have wired connectors, you don't want to risk problems later on (hassle to fit in a bad fitting XLR when in a hurry, putting strain on the connections etc) for some more ease at the assembly-stage. Hey, I saw even my Beh. MDX2100 Composer neatly uses some wires from PCB to connector :thumb:

with the XFMR and all the relays it would be way too heavy.
i just re-did the layout. Kato, you're better off than me. I stuffed 3 already and wasted some good MC copper boards. Sorry for the waste of your copper.
Hopefully someone can swing by and confirm this mistake.....hint, hint.

Oh no sweat. I'm much more grateful for your layout than I am worried about a few inches of wasted PCB.
MC = metal core? Where does one get that?

[quote author="guavatone"]I don't think the primary switch is right here. I think 2 goes to 3 and 4 goes to 5 for parallel opperation. I hope I am the first to make a PCB of this.
Can someone confirm this mistake by comparing to this:

Series setup should be fine. I just need to get wheels for my hotrod spinning.[/quote]

[quote author="guavatone"]Cool. I meant MG chemicals.[/quote] Oh right. I have a couple of MG boards too. They have noticibly thicker copper than the bulk boards I got on ebay - although those are fine too.

Is there a way to test these transformers? Can we use a dual-trace scope and compare the ingoign waveform to the outgoing and compare polarity? I can give that a try if it would help? I've never tested a transformer other than for continuity. Kato

It's back and working. Excuse the sloppy gound stuff but It's all about grounding options with Neve. I think this gound plane is better since it's closer to a star setup where the relay grounds meet.
Next up: I hope to throw a Constant current driver on these boards.
