Re: a-132-4 help

thanks for the reply

i've removed jumpers so it acts as 4 separate vca's with no normaling and no summing...

i did some tests 
this is what i get

-run 5.47 v into vca1 input
-run 3.85 v into vca1 cv2 input
- i get   0.61 v out of vca1 output

the same thing done with the other 3 vca's give's me 1.31v , 1.37v , and 1.34v respectively ....

i guess vca1 cv2 has a dud resister or something?

sending this back (only a few months old) is probably not an option because i'm in Australia and i purchased from analoguehaven with some other stuff.... elby didnt have stock at the time... i was impatient..

maybe an easy fix for me?

is there a resister that i can check maybe?

thanks
