Channels A and B are optimized for eurorack sources (either mono or stereo) with a slight boost (×2 \/ +6dB). Channels C and D are line-level pre-amps that can boost the signal up to ×10 \/ +20dB and feature stereo TRS jack inputs for directly connecting desktop units without further adaptors. All channels feature a clean boost via the high-quality, low-noise NE5532 op-amp (same as on the Dude), which delivers smooth overdrive - that can be used to overdrive clean stereo signals. Several \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003eBuddy\u003c\/span\u003e mixers can be chained via jumper cables on the back to expand the number of channels without losing precious inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSetup examples:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUse your eurorack as an effects processor! \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003eBuddy\u003c\/span\u003e will boost your desktop gear to correct levels and be your perfect aux send mixer.\u003cbr\u003eUse \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003eBuddy\u003c\/span\u003e as a stereo mixdown module for all your stereo\/mono voices.\u003cbr\u003eUse external stereo sound processors with eurorack voices. \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003eBuddy\u003c\/span\u003e will boost their levels back to modular levels.\u003cbr\u003eUse the \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003eBuddy\u003c\/span\u003e stereo mixdown attenuator to lower the level for line-level devices.\u003cbr\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eChannels A and B:\u003cbr\u003eDC coupled\u003cbr\u003e100k input impedance\u003cbr\u003egain ×2 \/ +6dB,\u003cbr\u003eleft input normalized to right channel\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eChannels C and D:\u003cbr\u003eAC coupled\u003cbr\u003e10k input impedance\u003cbr\u003egain ×10 \/ +20dB\u003cbr\u003estereo TRS 3.5mm jack input or 2× mono TS 3.5mm\u003cbr\u003esolder jumpers to convert to DC coupled\u003cbr\u003esolder jumpers to normalize left input to right channel\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSoft Zenner clipping at 10vpp on mixdown stages\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNE5532 op-amp for low-noise pre-amp\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e1k output impedance\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eChaining back jumpers L\/R inputs and L\/R outputs:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOnly when \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003eBuddy\u003c\/span\u003e outputs are not patched, the mixdown is sent to the output chain jumpers (patch configurable mixdowns)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDimensions\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e5 HP\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e30 mm deep\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCurrent Draw\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e27 mA +12V\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e27 mA -12V\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BASTL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41347635544237,"sku":"bastl-buddy","price":158.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/3449\/7197\/products\/buddy.jpg?v=1645062983","url":"https:\/\/www.detroitmodular.live\/products\/bastl-buddy","provider":"Detroit Modular","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
