OUTPUT GAIN/ATTEN

Inputs (Signal): 1x DC, approx. +/-10V max. (3.5mm mono socket)

Inputs (CV): 3x DC, approx. +/-10V max. (3.5mm mono socket)

Outputs (Signal): 1x DC FULL-WAVE (3.5mm mono socket)

1x DC HALF-WAVE (3.5mm mono socket)

Power Requirements: +/-12V via 16-pin, Doepfer-style IDC connector

Current Draw: 80mA average

Dimensions: 10HP (W); panel to IDC connector 35mm (D)

Supplied Accessories: 1x 16-pin, Doepfer-style cable, 4x M3 screws

CALIBRATION: AC-coupled inputs and outputs (i.e. most inputs and outputs that are used

for AC and ‘audio’ signals) use a capacitor to remove constant DC content,

leaving only the AC content of the waveform.

The inputs and outputs of the ADE-10 are DC-coupled, which allows it to use

both audio and CV signals (AC and DC) such as LFOs, gates, triggers, etc.

as input and external CV input signals - but please note that any DC content

present at the input will also be present at the output.

Additionally, a non-calibrated ADE-10 can also add a small amount of DC

content to the output waveform.

Each ADE-10 is calibrated before shipping and once set, the output should

remain at close to 0V DC with all front panel controls set to 0% and no

inputs connected.

For advice on calibrating the ADE-10 please contact Abstract Data.

PRECAUTIONS: The ADE-10 uses the Doepfer standard for power connection and cable

orientation. The RED stripe on the supplied power cable connects to the

NEGATIVE (-12V) rail on the ADE-10 with the RED stripe facing DOWN.

This is marked on the back of the ADE-10 PCB as “-12 RED”.

(Please see ‘POWER CONNECTOR’ on page 3 of this guide)

The ADE-10 has diode and polyfuse protection built in but an incorrectly

connected cable may still cause damage to the module or the power supply.

The rear panel of the ADE-10 has exposed parts and connections. Please

ensure when handling the ADE-10 that the unit is held by the sides of the

front panel or the sides of the PCB.
