Modify behringer DEQ2496? - Page 2

Hi KYW,

what would be a good output trans? I have got a UTC W-786 600 to 600 trans on hand, thinking about using as a balance cable to single conversion .

Do not work.

You need +/- 15V op-amp.

Depends upon the circuit you are going to use. There are quite a few good 1:1 types, but they are not really suited to directly interface with the DAC.

Should be fine for that.

Any of the above will do fine. I'd say AD8620 on the analogue inpoit side, AD8066 or LM6172 on the output side.

Actually, the supply in the Behringer was +/-12V, last time I looked (inside my own), so au contraire, does work just fine....

I'm very surprised.

Mine is +/- 15V. It use JRC LM7815A et LM7915A in the switched power supply (It has 17,7V before the regulators). It has +15V on the red wire, -15V on the second wire of the power connector.

I used OPA2604AU.

Thanks KYW.

Strange, it seems there are different configure out there for this gear. Mine uses LM317 & 7805. I found only those 2 regulators on board, maybe there are smaller ones that I've missed.
Here's the pic.

These are for the digital board power only.

In fact, the +/- 15V regulators are in the switched power supply. Have a look. It's wrote on the PCB (IC1: 7815 and IC2: 7915).

Power connector:

1 Red = +15V
2 = -15V
3 = 9V
4 = 15V ground
5 = another ground
6 = 5V
7 = 3V

But the best if you want to be sure is to test on the op-amp pins...

Your are right, I see the 7915/7815.
And thanks for the power connector info, very useful.

One thing is bugging me after a bit of probing on the output circuit. Why are there ceramic caps directly couple to the balance out, it is directly in the signal path!!!

Surely this can't be good!!

Post a picture.

If they are connected to ground, it is to remove switching noise.
