Passive Stereo output in 2hp (a companion for nearness)

more info here...

Most of the stereo outs on the market are quite large and with a nearness you can quickly create a large stereo field. Having the extra pan knobs on most stereo outs tends to be irrelevant when using nearness (well, less relevant). The new ALM output looks good, but I wanted to put together a super-duper easy DIY kit. This thing is totally passive & so simple, there aren’t even any resistors! here is the BOM:

  • a PCB
  • a panel
  • 2 mono thonkiconn jacks
  • 2 9mm tall trimmer pots
  • 1 stereo thonkiconn jack

The only thing you need to know about assembly besides looking at the picture for parts placement is to solder the jacks first, then the pots.

I suggest you do the jacks while screwed into the panel. Then take the panel off and insert and bend the pots. When soldering the pots, put the panel back on again to make sure everything is lined up properly!

The stabilizing legs of the pots are bent around the outside of the PCB and soldered on the back side to rectangular pads. Make sure that the jacks remain vertical when doing this!

Questions

How big is the Passive stereo output PCB?

It measures 9 × 110 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Passive stereo output use?

6 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Passive stereo output KiCad files?

From the bmoren/Stereo-Output-2hp repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is passive_stereo_output_rev1/passive_stereo_output.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Passive stereo output design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask bmoren before reusing the design.
