About the module ( copy from synthtech)

The MOTM-830 is a dual mode (audio and/or control voltage) mixer. Using a clever switching scheme, the mixer can configure itself into either 6:1 or dual 3:1 mixers. The mixer is "split" when a patchcord is inserted into the OUT 2 jack.

The MOTM-830 is unique in the modular world: it is optimized for both audio signal quality and DC stability. Other mixers are generic, TL072-type mixers which are OK for audio but suffer from input offset voltage drift over temperature. The MOTM-830 uses special circuitry to provide superior audio specs (less than 0.005% THD, greater than 90dB SNR) while having superior DC specs (less than 1uV/C drift). Other features include:

 

  • Shielded cables on ALL signals

  • DC Bias generator: module can act as DC source!

  • Mixer #1 (IN1 - 3) uses linear pots, while Mixer #2 (IN4 - 6) uses audio taper pots

  • All pots are sealed, conductive plastic for long life and low noise

Easy to build, the MOTM-830 is a valuable addition to your MOTM system.

Modifications

http://www.tellun.com/motm/mods/motm830/motm830.html

Increase Gain

Changed some resistors to get unity gain from any input to any output.

  1. Changed R8 and R17 from 44.2K to 100K (1%).

  2. Changed R18 from 100K to 49.9K (1%).

Resistors - 1/4 W - 5% (unless resistors are specified as otherwise, assume they're 5% - Paul lists them as 5% - extra clear!) note: there is a price breakpoint on the 5% Rs that makes it super-cheap to buy 10 of them.  I always do and put the extras away for when we need them.
