So I am a Recording Engineer and I want to make my mixes tighter, and at the moment I dont have the space to make a set of Auratones, so I am going to build a Studer A810 Monitor Speaker into an enclosure for Referencing when I mix songs.

Parts Needed:

1 x Studer A810 Monitor Speaker with Amp Card

2 x Perfboard

1 x 2.1mm AC Power Jack

2 x 1/4" TRS Jacks

1 x 18v 888mA AC (THIS IS IMPORTANT) Wall Wart 

1 x 16 Pin 1mm Pitch Wire-to-Board Connector

1 x 1"x10" - 4' Common Board

---------------------------------------------------------------

Miscellaneous Wire

Nails

Carpet - Optional (I'm going cover mine with some leftover carpeting i have from building my subwoofer box)

Circuit Board Soldering

So I have the schematic attached, and the pinout is as follows

+15V on pin 5
-15V on pin 6

CH 1 input audio on pin 16 (Left of TRS Jack 1)
CH 2 input audio on pin 9 (Right of TRS Jack 1)
CH 1 tape audio on pin 14 (Left of TRS Jack 2)
CH 2 tape audio on pin 7 (Right of TRS Jack 2)

pin 1 connected to pin 2
pin 3 connected to pin 4

Once you have this all soldered up, follow this Instructble to build the proper power supply.

Laying Out the Back Plate

So now, lay out the back plate, where you want the TRS inputs, the power supply port, switch and LED to go. I used a ruler to make everything nice and neat and level.
