Abstract:
According to a first aspect of the embodiments, a microphone mixer is provided comprising: an input adapted to receive differential microphone (mic) output signals; a gain-trim circuit adapted to receive the differential mic output signals, and which includes a substantially fully differential amplifier adapted to amplify the received differential mic output signals through use of a gain-trim output adjustment device that provides a variable gain amount ranging from a first gain-trim gain value to a second gain-trim gain value, to produce differential gain-trim circuit output signals; a fader circuit adapted to receive the differential gain-trim circuit output signals, and which includes a differential amplifier adapted to attenuate the received differential gain-trim circuit output signals through use of a fader output adjustment device that provides a variable gain amount ranging from a first fader gain value to a second fader value; and a common adjustment apparatus that mechanically ties the gain-trim output adjustment device with the fader output adjustment device such that the first gain-trim gain value and first fader gain value are obtained substantially simultaneously at a first position of the common adjustment apparatus, and the second gain-trim gain value and second fader gain value are obtained substantially simultaneously at a second position of the common adjustment apparatus.

Claim (Index 9):
The microphone mixer according to  claim 8  further comprising;\n a control position sensor adapted to control both the gain-trim circuit and the fader circuit through the first and second digitally controlled potentiometers, respectively, and wherein\n an analog voltage output of the control position sensor is received by an analog to digital converter and converted to an output digital signal, the digital signal adapted to be used to control operation of the first digitally controlled potentiometer and the second digitally controlled potentiometer.
