Would the volume/balance set-up and wiring scheme used on the Stereomour II work on the SEX 2.1?
Presently it is wired with 2 mono volume pots which was great for fine tuning at home. Here in the office the volume needs to be quickly adjusted for phone calls, etc.
Thanks

It would work if you had the extra holes already, but it will cost you a few dB of gain.

You may find that a properly sized rubber band around the volume knobs will get the job done.

Thanks Paul, who knew a rubber band could have the equivalent of 4dB of gain. It's worth a try. The KISS theory strikes again.
