A versatile, affordable, free hardware, stereo mixer for Eurorack

Each input channel has either mono or stereo inputs, a balance control, a mute switch, and a volume control. The output stage has a stereo TRS (headphone) output, but patching into the right input will break the normalling, allowing you to output stereo over two mono cables. The output also has a mute switch and volume control, so you can easily mute your system or adjust the master volume depending on where your output is going.

Each input channel is passive, so can be made very affordably, although ±12V and Earth are available from the bus which carries the stereo signals, so future/user-developed input stages could be active, for example an input stage with an active EQ.

There is also of course the potential for alternative output stages, such as balanced 6.35mm or separate output and monitor outputs for headphone monitoring during a live set.

Questions

How big is the Stackable Mixer PCB?

It measures 20 × 110 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Stackable Mixer use?

13 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 Stackable Mixer KiCad files?

From the roryjamesallen/stackable-mixer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/kicad-individual-channel/Stackable Mixer.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/kicad-individual-channel/Stackable Mixer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Stackable Mixer design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
