  • Page 3 • The ADE-60 is capable of outputting both high-gain audio signals and DC voltage signals – please take care not to damage speakers, headphones – or ears! – with configurations that use these signal types.

  • Page 5 The rear panel of the ADE-60 has exposed parts and connections. Please ensure when handling the ADE-60 that the unit is held by the sides of the front panel or the sides of the PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
  • Page 6 PCB. Each ADE-60 channel has options for Attenuversion, Gain and Bias/Offset and CV output and each of these 3 options can be turned on or off individually using jumper connectors.
  • Page 7 Page 5 of 15 1) IN: 1-4 The ADE-60 has 4 inputs – 1 for each of the 4 mixer channels. All inputs and the entire internal signal path is DC-coupled and will work with all standard signals in the Eurorack environment from DC voltages and CV to audio signals.
  • Page 8 This functionality includes control over Attenuversion (non-inversion or inversion of input signals), Gain (amplification of input signals), Bias/Offset (negative or positive offset of input signals) or CV output (manual output of DC voltages). >> For more information on user settings see Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 © Abstract Data Ltd.

  • Page 9: Jumper Connections

    Page 7 of 15 1) CONNECTORS 1-12 Each of the 4 channels of the ADE-60 have 3 user setting options: Attenuversion, Gain and Bias. Each of these 3 user settings, per channel, can be turned on or off using the black plastic jumper connector fitted to the 3-pin headers on the rear of the module.

  • Page 11: User Settings: Gain

    Gain is generally described as the ‘input volume’ of a signal going into a circuit like a mixer or a pre-amplifier. In the context of the ADE-60 this setting refers to the increase in volume, or the ‘gain’, in amplitude of that signal between the input and the output.

  • Page 13: Patch Example

    This patch could be developed further by running it as a pair of 2-input / 2-output sub-mixers with outputs taken from channel 2 and channel 4 or by activating the Attenuversion user settings for any of the channels. © Abstract Data Ltd. Version 1.1.0...
  • Page 14: Attenuator, Attenuverter & Sub-Mixer

    This patch could be developed further by adding Attenuversion to section 1 or Gain to sections 1 and 2 and taking a single output from channel 4 would give you a 4-input / 1-output sub-mixer. © Abstract Data Ltd. Version 1.1.0...
  • Page 15: Dual Bias/Offset & Attenuator

    2 and 4 and the volume knobs for channels 2 and 4 controls the volume of the signal at those channels. This patch could be developed further by activating Attenuversion for both bias/offset channels or increasing the potential bias/offset amount by activating Gain for both bias/offset channels. © Abstract Data Ltd. Version 1.1.0...
  • Page 16: Multi-Function Mix And Voltage Utility

    This patch could be developed further by removing the output from channel 3 and using that channel as a bias/offset source for channel 4 and the user configuration settings could be changed to adjust the order of the 3 sections. © Abstract Data Ltd. Version 1.1.0...
