Stereo to mono summing

Chris Tyas

Hi - firstly thanks for the advice on usb - serial adapters, I'm now the proud owner of a moxa ethernet - serial adapter and sleeping well at night...

I need to take a stereo signal in on two inputs and output it as a stereo on two outputs but also as mono on a single output - what is the best way of doing this with the lowest overheads in a soundweb 9088?

I guess I can use a 2:1 mixer but if I just take the left and right stereo outputs from say a gain module and connect the 'wires' together at the input of an eq, will i get unwanted effects (phasing etc)?

Thanks,

Chris.

No need to worry about phasing because it's impossible to do. Combining two signals into one signal requires a processing object. No exceptions.

Thanks Dan - so to play devils advocate - what exactly would happen if two 'wires' from a stereo input were both run to the same input point on a eq for instance?

They turn Red and the design won't compile.

So it does - thanks
