4-Ch Pan Mixer 137 Build Guide

Assembly Instructions

The VC Panning mixer 137 has no particular requirements not already covered in the ‘General Build Info' page except for the VU meter mounting:

The VU meters are fixed to the main PCB using two differing thicknesses of foam pads.

 

 An outline of the VU meters is shown on the PCB and it is important that the meters are aligned when sticking to the PCB otherwise they will not fit into the panel correctly when assembling. The circular adhesive pads fit under the lower edge of the VU meters. The thicker strip pads are cut to suit and spaced to avoid clashes with the solder connections.

We suggest attaching the adhesive pads to the PCB first and then bringing the VU meters down into position.

The VU meter LEDs polarity is not identified on earlier revisions of the PCB so this photo shows their orientation by looking at their internal construction.

The solder connections to the VU meters are made using some off-cut resistor leads.

Calibration

This module requires no calibration or tuning.
