The CRC? A thick book of tables of computed values. If you wanted to know the
sine of some value? You could look it up. The same for logarithm, root, other
trig functions,

Phil,
You may want to check out the Behringer mixers even though they may have
more inputs than you need. I don't know if any of the inputs support
Bluetooth natively.
They are low in price and work well.
