Re: Low output level A-188-1 4096 stages

2006-11-10 by vliesgaard

Hello members and Ingo,

These are the knob postions:
All switches +
Delayclock 10
CV2 0
Audio input 10
Feedback 0
Mix Orig
Only Patchcords in audio in and mix out.
A-110 pulse as source.

First thing I notice is that the mix out output is inverted and a bit
reduced in level, about 80% on a linear mixer. 
Then when you turn the mix knob, the sound level drops. At 3/7 it has
reached its minimum of -10dB compared to the Orig position. At BBD it
has gone up again to -5dB. (I used the VU meter on my mixing desk for
this measurement.)

Other than that is seems to work as it should.
But the level drop is pretty annoying. And I can't imagine that it is
designed this way.

Any sugestions?

By Dirk.
