Motivation

This is my replacement of the original Elektor Formant COM module. I discarded the original circuitry because of the TL085 used with his unusual pinout and the availability of dedicated audio operational amplifiers. I used a more effective filter implementation for tone control. A mixer front end with four external inputs is added to make patching easier. A optional level indicator makes it easier to find the right volume level for best SNR. The maximum output volume is adjustable to protect your PA.
