Looking for a balanced MiniDSP. Shipping to USA 22554 or pickup around the DC area. Anybody? Pretty please? 🙃
I have one I stopped using when I upgraded to a 2x10.
Mine I put together with a miniDigi board into a very nice housing I purchased from Japan (I remember just the shipping for the box was $60+ back then).
I made all the holes and fitted them with mini balanced connectors for both analog inputs (2x) and analog outputs (4x).
Since I had to fit a DC power plug and also a remote relay turn On/Off (12Vdc; the two taped wires sticking out) there was no room left on the face plate for a hole to plug in the usb cable for programming the unit. So the way I have it is that the USB connector on the board is aligned with one of the analog inputs; so with the analog input connector removed I plug in through the hole for programming. Once programmed you can put it back. Since I used coax digital input I never mounted the analog input connector back and it should be available separately (I just have to find it).
The Amphenol mini balanced connectors were very expensive and soldering them for the output shielded cables was so tricky I had to ask for help from a friend. Since I usually stood the unit up on its side I added rubber grommets there.
A very sturdy housing that fits the mini DSP boards on top of each other like it was made for them.
I could probably ship it from MI (48083); but have no idea of the shipping cost.
The unit worked fine but at times started noisy and I had to unplug the DC power, wait a bit and replug it or sometimes just move the unit. I never put in the time to get to the bottom of that if it was some contact or whatever. fyi these balanced units have a higher noise than the unbalanced ones (I think ~-60dB if I remember correctly) so if you use very high sensitivity speakers with compression drivers and such they may not be the best fit for the application. For conventional speakers they are fine. If you are interested let me know through a PM.
