Switchable 600 Ohm Termination?

[Randyman...]

I have a variety of gear now - and lots of it is 600 Ohm (1176, etc). I also have some pads that are 600 Ohm - so I need a way to quickly swap my SCA's 600 Ohm Termination on and off...

So - Is there any problem with wiring up a short twisted pair from the SCA Preamps' 600 Ohm Jumper to a mini SPST Toggle mounted on the rear of the SCA Chassis? I'm guessing no more than 4"-8" of wire would be needed. Is there any need to shield this wire? I planned on using plain 20Ga Stranded Wire in a twisted pair config.

I'm planning on soldering directly to the 600-Ohm Term header - but what size connector would fit on the header if I wanted to go with a removable connector instead? (Basically a connector the same size as the shorting cap).


I already ordered 16 of these mini SPST's:

I can't see any issues myself - but I'm a drummer.

Thanks for any pointers.

PS - I just ordered my last two N72's! Now all 16 slots will be full

Nope.

Nope.

Perfect! Should get this done in tandem with the last two N72 builds

Thanks Tim

Done! Worked like a charm. I only needed to add 14 switches as I forgot that the two C84's don't have output transformers and don't have (don't need) a 600 Ohm Termination on board...

Thaks for the confirmation
