Faceplate Assembly Sequence:
1] Drop LED into switch PCB (don’t solder yet)
2] Put nuts onto rotary switches and pots... All the way down but
do not tighten them against the shoulder
3] Put washers onto rotary switches and pots
4] Fit faceplate
5] Loosely fit ring nuts to stop faceplate falling off
6] Place a 2.5mm drill bit shank between the faceplate and PCB
near to the mic gain switch
7] Tighten the ring nut for the mic gain switchso it “grips” the
faceplate… Not too tight that you cannot remove the drill bit.
8] Do the same for the other 4 switches
9] “Unscrew” the nuts of the rotary switches so that they tighten
up against the rear of the faceplate
10] Tighten the rotary switch ring nuts fully
11] Repeat 9&10 for the 3 pots
12] Push the LED through its faceplate hole so it is flush and
solder it in place (cutting off excess legs).
13] Fit switch knobs (see test procedure for correct
allignment of HF, MF, LF gain pot knobs).

Test Procedure
Much of this is unnecessarily pedantic....
You can just fit the EQ gain knobs “by eye”.... And simply set the “Bias Current” adjustment trimmer to draw a supply current of 110mA per rail
(or by measuring the voltage across the 1 Ohm resistor R49 [110mV])
1] Ideally power up the module on a jig from a current limiting bench power supply (+/- 16v) and check that the current settles to about 70mA per rail
2] Trim “Bias Current” adjustment trimmer to increase the current from 70mA to about 110mA (will be adjusted accurately later).
This can be done either by direct measurement of the current taken from the bench power supply or by measuring the voltage across the 1 Ohm resistor R49
3] Fit unit into lunchbox (with space to its right hand side as you will re-adjust the bias trimmer later)
4] Put a 0dBu 1000Hz signal into the line input (right hand XLR of its lunchbox slots) and measure the output (left hand XLR of its lunchbox slots)
5] Select “line” (mic/line switch), EQ out, 48v off, +phase.
6] Check that output changes from -20dBu to +20 dBu as line gain switch is turned through its range (4dB steps) ..... Set it to 0dBu (centre).
7] Change signal input frequency to 3000hz.
8] Switch EQ in, set HPF, LF, MF to “off”.... You should get 3000hz output at about -8dBu if HF put is fully counterclockwise.
9] Adjust HF pot (turn the shaft) until output is 0dBu..... Then fit the knob on its shaft with the pointer at the “0” position....
10] Change signal input frequency to 3200hz.
11] Adjust MF frequency switch to 3.2k......You should get 3200hz output at about -18dBu if MF put is fully counterclockwise.
12] Adjust MF pot (turn the shaft) until output is 0dBu..... Then fit the knob on its shaft with the pointer at the “0” position....
13] Adjust MF frequency switch back to “off”
14] Change signal input frequency to 110hz.
15] Adjust LF frequency switch to 110Hz......You should get 110hz output at about -18dBu if LF put is fully counterclockwise.
16] Adjust LF pot (turn the shaft) until output is 0dBu..... Then fit the knob on its shaft with the pointer at the “0” position....
17] Switch the EQ to “Out”
18] Change signal input frequency to 20hz.
19] Measure the THD+N (probably about 0.5%) .... Adjust the “Bias Current” adjustment trimmer clockwise until the distortion begins to increase
20] Adjust the “Bias Current” adjustment trimmer back (counter clockwise) one full turn.
21] Put a -10dBu 1000Hz signal into the mic input (left hand XLR of its lunchbox slots) and measure the output (left hand XLR of its lunchbox slots)
22] Select “mic” (mic/line switch), EQ out, 48v off, +phase..... Mic gain switch fully counter-clockwise
23] Check the output measures 0dBu
24] Decrease the signal input level by 5dBu and turn the mic gain switch one “click” clockwise
25] Check the output measures 0dBu
26] Repeat for all mic gain switch positions.
27] Toggle the 300/1200 switch to the 300 position, the output should increase to approx. +3.5dBu
28] Toggle the phase switch to the “-” phase position.... The output phase should invert.
29] Disconnect the input XLR
30] Toggle the 48v switch to the “on” position
31] Measure the voltage between pin 2 and pin 1 of the XLR input (it should be 48v)
32] Measure the voltage between pin 3 and pin 1 of the XLR input (it should be 48v)
32] Toggle the 48v switch to the “off” position... The voltage on pin2&3should decay to zero.
33] Put a 0dBu 1000Hz signal into the line input (right hand XLR of its lunchbox slots) and measure the output (left hand XLR of its lunchbox slots)
34] Select “line” (mic/line switch), EQ in, 48v off, +phase.
35] Plot the frequency response for all EQ frequency ranges and gain min/max settings and check against graphs.
