5-pin DIN sockets were a standard in soviet audio electronics.

I have an old Teac tape deck that has a DIN connector for I/O connection to an amplifier with a single wire, it was fairly common at the time AFAIK.

Got this bad boy today for $15. Can’t wait to abuse it.

Pretty sure I had this connection for recording on my first cassette recorder in the seventies.

I made one of my first albums using a couple of camcorder mixers similar to this, a cheap DJ mixer and one distortion pedal :smiley:

these things are great for video circuitbending, easy to get nice glitchy/stripy images

I have one of the land devices mixers and they are great! The best part is each channel switches between line and instrument levels. The stereo output is also switching with pans on each input. Very convenient for mixing and matching impedance between pedals and line level devices :sunglasses:

Nice! Now you need the matching reverb :slight_smile:

#1196

That looks awesome. It reminds me of a custom dub-console that my friend Arthur Joly created:

Yes! I am familiar with his works from groupdiy. He’s an incredibly generous man for sharing all his knowledge and designs.


edit: I was thinking of Ian who designed the eztubemixer

The Realistic 32-1200B Stereo Disco Mixer was my very first mixer, got it for dirt cheap at a garage sale in Winnipeg back in the 90s, and quickly became one of my favorite toys, first as a budding bedroom DJ failing at beatmatching, then for making multi-channel ambient mixtapes, and later when I first started experimenting with no-input mixer noisemaking on it- I loved how every part of it came alive when it was plugged into itself: the pan-pots, the cue buttons, channel switches and so on - every interaction with a fader, button or pot brought out interesting rhythms, theremin-esque frequencies or squalls of horribleness. Fun for just playing records too, lack of EQ notwithstanding. Built like a tank as well. I let it go when I left Canada and would love to get another one, one day. I’d gladly take one off somebody’s hands if I could find one in good nick and not too expensive…and if the international shipping doesn’t cost more than the unit itself.
