Re: That1580/1510 mini mixer

I noticed the 5171 and 1580 seemed to be a little too warm. With no load they are peaking at 50c and 55c respectivelty, after about 5-6 minutes.

Re: That1580/1510 mini mixer

I didn't mean to say that I was offering new information about the pad, I'm reading intently. It was sort of a mis-edited post that came across like I came up with the idea. I'm still trying to wrap my head around some concepts but they are slowly sinking into my thick skull. The pico is not even 12...

Re: That1580/1510 mini mixer

It looks like to me that you need a pad at the output of the DRV134 and run the PicoScope out near FS. Run picoscope sign gen full scale (2v) to increase s/n ratio ? Already too hot for the mic input, but add in gain of 2 from the drv134 and it needs a pad. 600ohm output of the sig gen into 10k inp...

Re: That1580/1510 mini mixer

I bypassed the preamp and just fed the picoscope sig gen sweep back to 10x probes. First file is Y axis set to average. Second file is Y axis set to peak hold.

I don't know the answer to how does p.s. produce attenuated 1mV signal.

Re: That1580/1510 mini mixer

<<You have an unbalanced PicoScope output feeding a DRV134 which then feeds the balanced mic input with gain.>> Correct. I think attenuation is not necessary because the sig gen output range is 1mV - 2V. The output of the preamp is connected to 10x probes which attenuate the signal by a factor of 10...

Re: That1580/1510 mini mixer

Picoscope signal generator 20hz-20khz sweep, into drv134, into preamp card, output post pan/pre summing into scope

Still getting frequency dependent gain unless i'm not measuring correctly. Gain is set to 30db, which is what I see here from about 600hz-20khz.

Re: That1580/1510 mini mixer

Update: something innocuous like testing my noob summing card turned into a disaster. I had a bridge on one of the backplane connecters from 48v to left out. Lots of chips got real hot and died, no smoke though. Note to self, don't put 48v bus rail next to left/right outputs. I must have also fried ...

Re: That1580/1510 mini mixer

Scoped the differential out on the 1580... only one side is showing signal. Now to find out if the problem is on the input or output, though there's nothing going on at the ouput aside from two traces and two vias. Also reflowed a new preamp card, same problem as the previous one. Edit: found someth...

Re: That1580/1510 mini mixer

Sure I can generate tones. Do they need to be fed balanced into the 1580 though? There are plenty of linux soundcard/scope apps. I should probably learn how to use the pico though. Tuesday I can dead bug a drv134. I'll have a bnc adapter/cable by then as well. I mistakenly bought the wrong coax toda...

Re: That1580/1510 mini mixer

I'm on a linux box. Trying to come up with the easiest way to diagnose the mic preamp signal. Then I can get to the fun stuff like meters and proper panning. At my disposal are android phone picoscope with 600ohm bnc unbalanced signal generator, two 1x/10x probes, two scope input channels, no bnc ca...
