Balanced to unbalanced board

I found out that the switchboard needs a microprocessor (arduino etc) to control it.  same signaling as the original attenuator board.  The idea is no standing power on the relays.

Could someone familiar with this setup take a look at the board just to double check it?

Would the buffers be installed vertically like on the ubal/bal board? I feel like it might be an issue with stacking one board over the other in that case. I am not likely to use it either because I'll already have the ubal/bal boards.

However I would use an interface for the digital attenuator. I am totally fine with the switch board as is but I wouldn't have an issue with extra features either.

Drew up a little relay board for I/O since the one in the recent group buy one didn't quite fit what I wanted to do. Mainly it was that I needed to use I2C instead of SPI and I want to try stacking XLRs sideways to save space on the back panel. Any suggestions on how to improve it are appreciated. 0.3mm width traces

Consider using jumpers (i.e. 2x3 header) instead of the DIP switch to set the I2C address?.

It should be a bit smaller and once you set the address I doubt it's going to change, so jumpers should be fine :)

I looked into it and the relays and headers dictate the length of the board so I can't save anything there and it would probably only shave about 1-2mm off the width of the board, which probably isn't enough to do anything. Plus the DIP switch hearkens back to my horrible memories of grade school flip-flop truth table quizzes.
