Since about 2 years the A-163 are equipped with an additional pin header
that is soldered on the bottom side of the pc board.  If this jumper is set
the module is DC coupled (i.e. can be used even with clock, trigger or gate
signals). If the jumper is removed it's AC coupled (mainly for audio
applications). But in most cases the module can be used even in DC mode for
audio applications.
