It’s been a long time coming but that highly sought after open source mixer, the aurora224 is now available for purchase on the company’s website. The aurora mixer is a fully programmable USB mixer complete with 24 back lit knobs, 2 faders, and a single crossfader.
While the instructions on how to assemble your own mixer from scratch have been available for sometime now, many wanted a kit complete with everything needed to avoid having to source the parts themselves.
The aurora mixer is available in 2 versions, a fully assembled turn key deck and a DIY kit that requires the use of a soldering iron and the ability to follow directions.
So, if you’ve wanted to build your own aurora mixer but never knew where to start, this may be your lucky day. Don’t wait too long as you have until September 1st to get your order in.
dude yes, keep the audio stuff coming.
How much would it cost to build it yourself? I know how to order and install everything but its the assembly that gets me worried. I dont even think i have all the tools to build this.
$300+ for something that doesn’t actually do any audio, and is just a set of computer readable knobs and buttons, plus some computer controllable lights? Clearly, I don’t get it…
only a hex screw driver is needed if you buy the complete DIY kit.

A mixer with no XLR inputs or outputs? Not even RCA? Meh.
Give me 4 real inputs with phantom power selectable on each, 4 virtual inputs over USB/Firewire, and the ability to mix to stereo output on real XLR’s or USB/Firewire and *then* you’ve got something …
looks like they are _not_ selling any kits…

@ scott,
youre talking about an audio interface/ analogue mixer. that kit is essentially a midi/daw controller, a very different device.
[…] few days ago we wrote about the aurora open source mixer being available and that orders for the DIY or completed kit needed to be in by September 1, 2008. […]
