Altoids Tin 1/8" Stereo Mixer

Step 11 Attach First Resistor to Outer Tab (Left Channel)

1) Take a resistor and attach to the outer/left-challe tabs of the output jack (the one by itself) and the closest input jack (see picture).

    - Make sure the resistor body is closest to the first input jack.
    - solder in place

NOTE: it is very important that there are no shorts with the ground wire, case or other tabs from this point on.

Random though: use electrical tape at points that are likely to short so if it ever gets dropped or thrown around it does not short.

 Cover the inside with a couple layers of electrical tape.  Not only does it protect from shorting, it also makes the whole box sound a little more solid.
