concertmate-360
« on: November 04, 2008, 12:18:31 PM »

hi im new to circuit bending so go easy on on me. i just got a realistic concertmate-360 and i want to do a couple of mods, nothing major. i want to add a line out for recording/headphones but also keep the speaker and have a switch to change between the 2. also i would like to add a led to indicate when the powers on.

how do i do these, i tried to add the line out by wiring my output jack the the speaker but the output was too high and i got a loud fuzzy noise.

please help, detail would be helpful as well as diagrams or photos

Try this:

You can probably add an LED by wiring it into the positive power line after the on/off switch. You'll probably need to wire in a resistor depending on what voltage the thing is running on. Try this calculator thing to find out the value:
