System A - 100 A-178 doepfer Theremin 3. Basic principles 4. Controls The theremin acts as one plate of a capacitor and a 1 Offset human body as the other plate. Moving the hand Control 1 is used to adjust the null point, so that the towards and away from the antenna produces tiny control voltage at output "...

CV the closer your hand gets to the antenna). Version 1: The diagram on the right side shows the layout of the A-178’s printed circuit board version 1. The trimming inductor is encircled. Versions 2 and 3: For the versions 2 and 3 the circuit has been modified and the inductor is replaced by a trimming potentio- meter.
