EXPERT SLEEPERS CV/Lightpipe Interface The ES-6 is the counterpart to the ES-3 Lightpipe/CV Interface, offering up to 8 channels of CV input with output via an optical lightpipe connection. The ES-6 itself has 6 input sockets; the remaining 2 channels are provided by an expansion module e.g. the ES-7. Please note that a connected ES-3 is required for operation. The ES-6 gets its clock signals from the ES-3, which derives them from its lightpipe input. Specifications The ES-6's specifications are as follows: Panel width: 6HP Module depth: 52mm Sync input: connection from ES-3 module Analogue inputs: 6x 3.5mm jacks, DC-coupled Input voltage range: ±10V Input impedance: effectively infinite (FET buffer) Digital output: optical, ADAT Lightpipe standard A/D conversion: 24 bit, 103dB SNR typical Expansion Header for connecting expansion modules e.g. the ES-7 Current draw: 67mA on the +12V rail, 24mA on the -12V rail (91mA total) The front panel is drilled for both Doepfer and Analogue Systems mounting holes (using a 'slot' rather than a single round hole). The power connector is a Doepfer standard 16 way IDC, with -12V furthest from the top of the board. Note that connection to the ES-3 is by a simple plug-in cable for the ES-3 mk2 only. The original ES-3 requires some soldering to add the required connections. For more detail, please see the user manual.
