[motm] VCF input jack question - switched ground or not?

2009-02-08 by John L Rice

Hi all,

 

I've been wondering about this for a while but haven't gotten around to
asking. I have two MOTM-490 VCFs that were both purchased used. One of them
has the switch lug connected to ground as indicated in the copy of the
manual I have (dated 07/25/02) but the other one looks like the
switch-to-ground wire was originally installed but cut out at a later date.

 

And looking at my new MOTM-485,  (that I just got on Thursday, thanks Paul!
;-), it doesn't have these switch-to-ground wires and the manual doesn't
indicate to use them.

 

So . . . I'm wondering if it was found at some point to be more advantageous
to not have the unused inputs grounded and I missed the memo (discussion ;-)
cuz I'm new or ? ? ? ? 

 

Thanks!
