A - VCA output expander
This is a twelve pin header for connecting
to the Mutagen. This is the output of the six
individual VCAs

B - CV input trims.
These trimmers are attenuators for the CV
inputs. The reduce the CV level before it
reaches the VCA. Because CV levels vary
widely in modular synthesizers these may
need to be adjusted to get optimum
performance from your HexVCA.

Turning the trimmer counter clock wise will
reduce the CV level.

The HexVCA is designed to give 80db of
dynamic range for a 0-5v control signal.
Before leaving Intellijel these trims are
adjusted so that 5v in equals unity gain on
the VCA. If your CV input exceeds 5v there
is a small amount of gain. Depending on
the signal coming into the HexVCA IN this
may distort the VCA.

C - Power connector.
Ten pin power connector which conforms to
the Eurorack standard.
The lowest pin is -12V and should line up
with the red pin on your power ribbon.

It is very important that the power
connector is not connected in reverse!
