From the project
PCB Designs for a subsnake system
This repository contains images and KiCad files for a CAT5e subsnake and DI system.
A brief build log for the DI and breakout cable can be found here.
Dynamic mics and passive DIs may work without the recommended shield.
The simplest configuration of the board requires a transformer and 6k81Ω resistor. A stereo summing circuit can be added with a few resistors. See the schematic and the classic RaneNote for more details.
