Doepfer - A-130-2 Dual Lin./Exp. VCA Slim

Description

The module is composed of two identical voltage controlled amplifiers (VCA). Each VCA has a manual gain control (also named Initial Gain) and a control voltage input with attenuator. The character of the control scale can be switched to linear or exponential. All inputs and outputs are DC coupled. Consequently the VCAs can be used to process both audio and control voltages (e.g. for voltage control of the level of LFO or envelope signals). The signal input has no attenuator available but is capable to process up to 16Vpp signals (i.e. -8V...+8V) without distortion. For the processing of higher levels an external attenuator (e.g. A-183-1) is recommended. The amplification range is 0...1. Even with a higher external control voltage the amplification remains at 1 (kind of "amplification clipping" at 1). Controls (for each of both units): Gain: manual gain control (Initial Gain) in the range 0...1 CV: attenuator for the CV input lin/exp: switches the VCA characteristic to linear or exponential, in center position the VCA is off (mute function) Inputs and outputs (for each of both units): CV: control voltage input, min. +5V required for max. amplification (1) with CV control fully CW and Gain fully CCW In: signal input, max. 16Vpp (+8V...-8V) without distortion Out: signal output Release date: Superbooth 2019 http://www.doepfer.de/a1302.htm 30 mA +12V 30 mA -12V ? mA 5V 45 mm deep
