Trevor, I refitted my panel a couple of years back with a G5 Touch
system and all the bells and whistles. It needed an audio panel to blend
all the inputs but I didn't want to make room on the panel for a surface
mounted one. It was a relief, planning wise and financially when my
electronic guru recommended the Gretz Aero audio mixer, available from
Aircraft Spruce for a mere 160 dollars. No voltage reducer needed. It
fits inside the panel readily accessible(for initial set up) behind my
right hand removable sub panel. It has worked faultlessly since.
