Blend Board

Blend Board is a simple way to add a mix control with analog DRY path to any DSP board. It’s also useful as an input buffer for connecting a guitar directly to adau1452 board.

 

Wiring

 

SND: SEND output. This is the buffered signal, it should go to input of DSP.

RTN: RETURN input. The signal from DSP output should go here.

Pot BLEND: mixes DRY and WET signals.

Pot VOLUME: controls output level.

R5

This resistor sets the gain of the output stage:

R5=100K -> gain=2

R5= 1M -> gain=11

* To increase high frequency roll-off place a 100pF cap in parallel with R5
* Use 100K for ouput gain=2, use 1M for ouput gain=11.
