Hello,
I'm trying to make what should be a simple circuit. It will be used to attach an aviation headset, and an iPod at the same time. So that I can listen to tunes and hear radio transmissions.
Parts include:
Project box 2"X3"
1/4" male audio stereo jack(plug to airplane)
1/4" female audio stereo jack(headset jack)
1/8" female audio stereo jack(iPod input)
couple of feet of shielded audio wire
I also have a few diodes I would like to throw into the mix, to protect the iPod, and airplane radios!
The Plan:
1/4" male to airplane, wired to box. Box will have 1/8" and 1/4" females side by side.
I was thinking I should wire in diodes on the iPod line and also the line from the airplane. So current only travels from iPod, and from airplane, then both travel to headset. This to prevent damage to either one.
Audio INPUTS: Audio OUTPUT:
1/4" male--------->diode>______________1/4"female output(to headset)
1/8" female------->diode>
Does this seem like the best solution? Should I integrate a Volume control in the box as well? Would I need a transistor and battery to boost the sound? Any thoughts would be great. This is my first attempt at something like this!!![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
