4ms Listen IO Modular Signal Converter

Description

Convert Signal To And From Your Modular Setup For Infinite Integration Possibilities With The4ms Listen IO Modular Signal Converter

The Listen IO is a simple module which gets signals in and out of a Eurorack system by converting to and from normal modular levels. The top section converts any external signal to modular levels by providing up to 30x gain (+30dB), allowing you to use table-top synthesizers, keyboards, phones/tablets, computers, toys, microphones, etc. in your patches. The bottom section does the opposite: modular signals are converted to normal line level signals. The bottom two jacks can be used as line outs or as headphone jacks, so you and a friend can listen in stereo at the same time.

Each section has two inputs and outputs for use with a stereo signal or two mono signals. An LED bar graph for each output shows the signal level and clipping.

• Line to modular conversion, and modular to line/headphone conversion
• Works with guitars, table-top synths, effect pedals, keyboards, groove boxes, and many microphones
• Dual mono or stereo conversion
• LEDs show signal level and clipping
• Gain knob allows for wide range of boost or cut
• Headers in back for connecting to Listen Up or DIY adaptor module (1/4″, banana, etc.)
• Two headphone outputs and stereo inputs for use as a compact headphones module

• 6HP Eurorack format module
• 0.95″ (24mm) maximum depth (includes power cable)
• 10-pin Eurorack power header
• POWER CONSUMPTION
• Maximum values – All output jacks shorted to ground, 22Vpp signal on all input jacks, knobs at 100%
• +12V: 62mA
• -12V: 55mA

LINE TO MOD SECTION (TOP)

• Output: 1k impedance
• Input: 100k impedance
• Frequency Response: +/-0.1dB max deviation, 20Hz 20kHz
• Maximum output level: 22V peak-to-peak
• Maximum gain: +30dB
• Channel cross-talk Test conditions: Test signal input into left Line In jack. Sine wave at frequencies from 20Hz to 20kHz tested. Gain adjusted to maximum value without clipping. Result given as a ratio of the appearance of test frequency measured on right Mod Out jack to left Mod Out jack. Test repeated with left and right jacks swapped. Worst-case results for any channel and frequency reported. Note: cross-talk is much higher when clipping occurs.
• @1kHz: <-110dB
• @10kHz: -78dB
• @20kHz: -74dB

MOD TO LINE SECTION (BOTTOM)

• Output: 68 impedance
• Input: 100k impedance
• Frequency Response: +/-0.1dB max deviation, 20Hz 20kHz
• Maximum output level: 22V peak-to-peak
• Maximum gain: 0dB (unity)
• Channel cross-talk Test conditions: Test signal input into left Mod In jack. Sine wave at frequencies from 20Hz to 20kHz tested. Result given as a ratio of the appearance of test frequency measured on right Line Out jack to left Line Out jack. Test repeated with left and right jacks swapped. Worst-case results for any channel and frequency reported.
• 20Hz 20kHz: <-110dB
