I'm building a switch for headphones to switch between stereo, mono, left-only mono, and right-only mono operation. Obviously the stereo position just passes the signal through.
Since I normally use headphones with an impedance around 30ohms the mono position should have a 20 ohm resistor (or thereabouts) in series with the left + and right + lines before they are summed, correct?
With the left-only and right-only mono should I add a resistor between the + contact for the side not being hooked up to the headphones and the ground? If so, what should the value be?
Thanks!
