I don't think that this applies to the A-111-5 because it has additional
internal voltage regulators for the CEM3394 available. The internal supplies
for the CEM3394 are +8V and -5V. Even all tuning controls for the VCO
(octave switches, tuning control at the front panel, internal offset
frequency trimming potentiometer) are connected to the internal +8V
and/or -5V. But for other VCOs it's correct - provided that not the
A-100PSU2 is used. The A-100PSU2 is adjusted in the factory to +/-12,00V
within +/-10mV so that the supply voltage tolerances should not affect the
VCOs. But for simple supplies (e.g. with 7812/7912 regulators only or for
switching power supplies) the supply voltages may affect the VCO tuning.
