This is a channel strip I built for Michael Carpenter at Love Hz recording studio in Sydney. It features a beefy class A mic preamp with discrete op amps, an LA-2A style compressor and a valve equalizer.
This is a 2-rack unit monitor controller I did recently for a client. It features everything, including the kitchen sink! Mute, dim, mono, 3 monitor outputs, 3 inputs, left and right cut etc. Lovely!
This 2 rack-unit monitor controller features VU meters and a headphones amplifier.
Another 2u controller with VU meters. This time with a stepped attenuator.
Pictured below is a monitor controller requested by a recent client. It’s got mono and mute toggle switches and a L/R cut switch. This is great for monitoring in mono from a single speaker. The inputs and outputs are on XLR, appart from the RCA Aux input there on the top!
Pictured below is a 1u rack-mount monitor controller featuring 3 selectable speaker outputs and a headphones amp.
The controller below is in a 1u rack, has 3 monitor outputs and a headphones amp. All on XLR. This one uses the awesome ALPS blue potentiometer.
A white one:
Simple one with a stepped attenuator.
Below is a desktop stereo monitor controller I built for a client. This controller features most of the usual suspects, but the volume control is a lovely (and fairly expensive) Alps potentiometer from Japan. The result is perfect left/right tracking and excellent feel!
Dual-channel re-amp box.
Here’s another stereo monitor controller for a fellow Australian. It’s got some XLR action and some TRS action. Good stuff!
This is a 1 rack-unit stereo monitor controller I built for Dennis Berggren of OctaProductions in Sweden. Dennis’ controller features a mono switch and two pairs of selectable monitor outputs. All connections are on balanced, high-quality XLR connectors.
This a stereo monitor controller I built for George Necola (georgenecola.com). Georges Unit features 2 pairs of monitor outputs, 2 stereo inputs, input and output trim controls and a mono and mute switch. This is actually 1 of 3 I built for George!
Below is a nice monitor controller I just did for a client. Pretty simple, inputs and outputs on XLR and it employs a stepped attenuator for the main level control.
Here is a controller I designed and built for a client for switching between a pair of active monitors (XLR) and a pair of NS10s powered by an Adcom amp (RCA). Apart from that there’s a pair of toggle switches for mono and mute. Nice and simple and solid… what I’m all about!!
Here’s a nice simple one. 2 inputs, 3 outputs, mono, L/R cut and a stepped attenuator.
This controller has a pair of XLR inputs, some RCA inputs, XLR outputs and RCA outputs. Volume control is taken care of by a 23 position stepped attenuator. Mono operation is available on a rotary switch for checking how you’re looking on one channel!
Pictured below is a simple desktop type monitor controller which features 2 pairs of balanced TRS inputs and 3 sets of monitor outputs. It employs the fantastic blue Alps potentiometer.
It’s pretty rare these days that I find a couple of hours to build something for myself, but our home hi-fi really needed some attention. So I cleared off the bench and assembled this controller for our Hi Fi System. Inputs for TV/DVD, iPod and pro tools. All spits out some TRS connectors into some powered speakers.
Pictured here is a 1u rackmount controller with 3 ins, 3 outs, mute, L/R cut and mono.
Below is a very simpe controller I did for a client. Few different connectors, dim, mono, mute. Bam!
This is a custom made stereo monitor controller I did for a member of the Gearslutz forum. It sports 2 inputs, one on XLR, the other on iPod jack, and two selectable monitor outputs on XLR. To top it off it’s got a mono switch.
The monitor controller pictured below is the same as the one above but only has one input!
Here is a really really simple one. It features a pair of balanced balanced TRS inputs and 2 switchable pairs of balanced TRS outputs. The client will put it between the control room outputs of their interface and some monitors for instant switchable monitors!
Below is a custom made dual-channel re-amp box I did for a client. It’s basically two of my RA10′s in one enclosure.
This little guy is a custom version of the MC10. The notable change is that I have replaced the pot with a 23-position stepped attenuator.
This is an overdrive pedal based on the fulltone OCD, for a Western Australian!
