Today I did the first test run with one of the soldered boards and the Arduino. After some adjusting it works but I am not quite satisfied.
On the picture below you can see the setup: 8 speakers, attached to the switching board. Between the switching board and the Arduino is a board that converts the Arduinos signals (0/+5V) to the current level used by the switchboard (+/-5V). This converter board also houses a TL072 for pre-amplification and an LM311 to detect the audio signal’s null phase. This is necessary to prevent the speakers from clicking when switched on and of. And it doesn’t work jet. Why, I’ll have jet to find out…
Speakers, switchboard and Arduino connected. To the right is a voltage divider, converting 12V to +/-6V and GND
