I'm interested in building.
I think the scheme in the other thread looks very doable for us that not are manufacturers, but have some experience with soldering. 8 channels is cool, since they will be pretty cheap you could build two for more channels. I'm I mistaken if I've read that the old Neve's have a opamp and transformer for every 8 channels?
Since otb summing start becoming more useful when you add outboard comps and eq's between the daw and the summer(instead of going d-a-d for processing and then go d-a again to the summer) I think a mono switch would be very very handy. I'm thinking for money tracks like lead vocal, kick, snare and bass which all usually are panned in center.
How is this achieved electrically, by simply splitting the signal l-r or do you have to change the resistor values in the passive network?(suppose there be different levels if not).

I think the most important thing if making a kit would be the PCB(perhaps transformer for convenience), as all else components should be easy find,

Why hasn't Tim replied in this thread for a while?(Hoping the project is not abandoned.
