Making a very basic 3CH audio mixer with amplified output
I'm working in the backstage of concerts of our local choir. We have an intercom system, it's based on the Clear Com party line system, but that's a story for another time.

And now I remember why I design pcb instead of manually soldering them.
Overall happy with this, not the greatest sound quality, especially because the PAM8403 isn't designed for headphones but it works.
