"Balanced professional grade outputs and high quality headphone driver!

The WMD Pro Output is a simple and purpose built module to get your modular signal interfaced with professional and consumer audio gear. It also includes a very high quality headphone driver.

Rail to rail opamps at the input stage allow for headroom above the typical eurorack levels of 20Vpp. The Pro Output can handle 23Vpp before clipping. Signals are attenuated down to the proper levels allowing for simple adjustment free connection to any type of device, professional or consumer.

The Pro Output is DC coupled through the entire signal path, including the headphone driver. This design eliminates coupling capacitors and the distortion they can cause.

Controls and I/O

Input - The inputs are designed to accept any normal modular level. 10Vpp is the nominal operation level. The left input is normaled to the right side for mono operation. Inputs will clip at 23Vpp, giving enough headroom for any eurorack signal.

Phones/Line - The headphone driver connects to a 3.5mm stereo jack, and a 1/4" jack for whatever type of headphones you use. It can drive both simultaneously.

The headphone output level is internally limited to protect against accidental knob turns. Connect a couple of jumpers to the rear of the module to disable this limiting. This will allow the headphone amp to drive headphones extremely loudly, but still without distortion. Output quality remains the same regardless of the jumper settings.

With the limiting enabled (jumpers off), the maximum output is around -10dBV. With limiting disabled (jumpers on), the maximum output increases to pro level, about +4dBu.

Stereo - The Stereo (-10dBV) output is designed to interface directly with consumer level gear. Hook directly to sound cards, portable recorders, and speakers. It can be used as a second headphone output but will be loud.

+4dBu Bal - These two outputs (left and right) are high quality low impedance balanced line drivers. They are designed to drive long cables and to drive balanced transformer or transformerless inputs. Use these to connect directly to mixing consoles, mic preamps, or any other piece of professional outboard gear.

Perfect Circuit Audio (RSS)

"The VCOFan is VCO that uses a fan as a sounds source.

There is a LED under the fan that shines onto the blades of the fan, the fans bottom side is spray painted white, so the light from the led reflects from the blades. Next to the LED there is a LDR that translates the reflected light into a voltage, which is the audio signal.

Connections: The top connector is the CV input for the Fan speed (0v to 12v). The middle connector is the CV input for the LED brightness (0v to 12v). The output is the bottom connector, it is a audio signal that is capacitor coupled.

Potentiometers: The top potentiometer sets or attenuates the Fan speed. The middle potentiometer sets or attenuates the LED brightness. The bottom trimmer potentiometer (under the 2mm hole) sets the audio output volume.

Features

CV input for Fan Speed
CV Input for LED Brightness
Audio Output
Fan Speed Control
LED Brightness Control
Trimmer for Audio Output Volume"

"The Voice Rec module uses a voice recorder chip to record and playback sound. All controls are based on the functions that are in the chip (ISD 1820PY).
In the beginning and end of recording, there is an audible click. So, it is best to play back longer samples. The sound quality is very low.

An external mic or line level audio signals can be used. It has automatic gain adjustment.
