The Serge Equal Power Panner is a sub-module used in some of Serge's designs, such as stereo mixers and panners. It is essentially a small, purpose made analogue converter that converts and sums control voltages in such a way as when coupled with the exponential response of the cgs102v10 gain cells, you can achieve voltage control of signal level and equal powered panning.

Quoted from the mixer section of the 1982 Serge catalog:

EQUAL-POWER CONTROL OF PANNING AND CROSS-FADING
Linear response assures that panning and percentage cross-fade behave predictably in response to a control voltage, eliminating signal level changes as well as annoying slow and fast areas. Equal Power control assures that the perceived loudness of the VCA's will remain constant at all positions of a signal in stereo or quadraphonic space.

Note that this sub-module processes control voltages only. No audio signal is handled by it directly. It requires CGS108 gain cells to function.

A number of SMT capacitors are used on the backs of this board set. See the photo above for positioning.

Pad identification

There is no manual wiring on this module. All connections are made when the PCBs are soldered to the host PCB.

Set Up

No set up is required.

Notes:

• The module will work on +/-12 or +/-15 volts.
• PCB info: 1.4" x 1".
