Product Information

Full details

The Erica Synths Black Mixer/Splitter v2 is a versatile Eurorack module designed for modular synthesizer users who need robust signal management. Its key benefit is replacing stackable patchcables with a dedicated, high-quality solution for both mixing multiple signals and splitting a single signal to multiple destinations. A potential caveat is that it is a dedicated module, requiring a Eurorack case and power. This module features four independently buffered inputs for mixing and a buffered signal splitter with four outputs, handling both audio and control voltage signals, complete with overvoltage protection and an LED status indicator.

FAQs

Can I use this module for both audio and control voltage?

Yes, the Erica Synths Black Mixer/Splitter v2 is compatible with both AC (audio) and DC (control voltage) signals, making it highly versatile for various modular synthesis tasks.

How is this different from using stackable patchcables?

This module offers a dedicated, buffered solution that provides more reliable signal integrity and avoids the potential for noise or signal degradation often associated with connecting multiple stackable cables.

Does the mixer section have individual level controls?

No, the mixer section combines signals passively without individual level controls for each input. The level is determined by the output of the source modules.

What does the LED indicator signify?

The LED indicator provides a visual cue to show that a signal is present at the input of the respective mixer or splitter section.

Is the module protected against accidental incorrect power connection?

While the module features overvoltage protection on its inputs and outputs, it is still crucial to connect the power ribbon cable correctly to avoid damaging the module or the power supply.

How many signals can I mix together?

The mixer section has four independent inputs that can be combined into a single output.

How many destinations can I send a single signal to?

The splitter section takes one input signal and duplicates it to four separate outputs.

Troubleshooting

No signal is passing through the mixer or splitter.

Verify that the module is correctly powered from the Eurorack case. Check that all input and output patchcables are securely connected and patched to the correct jacks.

The LED indicator is not lit.

Ensure a signal is present at the input of the section you are using. The LED indicates signal presence, not necessarily output level.

Output signals are weak or distorted.

Confirm that the input signals are within expected levels for Eurorack modules. Check that the module is properly powered; insufficient power can sometimes affect performance.

Mixing multiple signals results in clipping.

Reduce the level of individual input signals into the mixer section. The combined signal may exceed the module's output capabilities if inputs are too hot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers both mixing and splitting in one module, saving space.
  • High-quality buffering maintains signal integrity.
  • Durable construction with overvoltage protection for equipment safety.
  • Versatile for both audio and CV signals.
  • Reliable alternative to less robust stackable patchcables.

Cons

  • Requires a Eurorack case and power supply.
  • Limited to 4 inputs for mixing and 4 outputs for splitting per module.
  • No individual level controls for mixer inputs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Power Connection: Connect the module to your Eurorack case's power distribution using a standard Eurorack power ribbon cable. Ensure the red stripe on the cable aligns with the -12V marking on both the module and the power header.
  2. Module Installation: Slide the module into an available slot in your Eurorack case.

Compatibility:

  • Eurorack Standard: Fully compatible with the 3U Eurorack format.
  • Signal Types: Works with both AC-coupled audio signals and DC-coupled control voltages.
  • Voltage Levels: Designed to work within standard Eurorack voltage ranges.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the front panel with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and ensure the module is completely dry before powering on.
  • Environment: Keep the module in a stable environment, away from excessive heat, humidity, or dust.
