Nucleus - Using Six-Input Mixer as up to x24 Gain Stage
Posted: Sun May 22, 2022 12:47 pm
You can use a Six-Input Mixer (from Nucleus) to give DC and AC signals a boost.
Each channel input gives you up to +6.0dB boost (x2 gain), and the master output gives you up to a further +6.0dB boost (x4 gain in total).
You can also feed the same source signal to multiple inputs to get further gain. By feeding the same source to all six inputs and boosting input gain to +6dB, you get a total of x12 gain. Turning up the Master output to +6dB increases total gain to x24.
The multiplied voltages shown in the image are a little below the expected values, if you treat +6.0dB as x2.0.
However, x2.0 voltage gain is actually +6.0206 dB. +6.0dB gives a voltage gain of around x1.995.
