Re: AW: [Doepfer_a100] A-183-2 suitable for this?

2010-10-29 by Bakis Sirros

the A183-2 is an attenuator/polarizer and offset generator.(and a x2 amplifier)

so, you say you want to make a +4volts input into a +4 to -4volts output, right?

so: you have set the JP3 jumper as dieter says (and now the offset knob gives you -5 to +5 volts offset), and have you set the switch to 'attenuator' position? this will give you a 0 - +2 amplification (0 - +8Volts output, from your input), if you set the 'attenuation' knob to the '10' position and the offset knob will take care of the negative offset you want (-4volts). for this you will have to set the offset knob to about the '1' position.

ok?

does it work now?

      OK, so I bought one of these, moved the jumper but can't get the 2x amplification as mentioned here (http://www.doepfer.de/a1832.htm):



"The amplification range for the input will be probably 0...+2 in the attenuator mode, and -2...+2 in the polarizer mode, i.e. the maximum amplification will be x2 and the module can be used also to amplify CV or audio signals"



In my example of +4V being the input voltage, that is the max voltage measured at the outputs trying all positions of knobs and switch.



Please can you let me know where I'm going wrong.



Thanks

Yes, but you have to change the position of the JP3 jumper. The factory

setting is 0...+5V offset (upper position of the jumper). You have to change

it to the lower position (-5V...+5V offset).
