Overview:
Voice Box is a simple monitoring speaker - used for quick monitoring of your patches, and to
give your system a real retro sound, using a speaker similar to, say, an EDP Wasp, or
ARP2600.
Why not use two speakers, for S-T-E-R-E-O

Mounting/Connection tips;
The supplied power cable is keyed.
That means it can only be fitted one
way! (Unless you use excessive force).
Pin one is at the top on our modules
(Doepfer fit their sockets upside-
down).
Medic Modules use a 14 pin 'boxed'
header on the PCB.
The two ends of the power cable are
different. Plug the 14pin socket end
into the Module power header.
Plug the larger 16pin socket into
your case power supply.
INPUT Level Slider
Start off with the slider at lowest
setting, then slowly increase
level.
Do not overdrive the speaker!
Modular systems can output a
high range of levels. Do not
blow up your speaker as the
speaker driver is not covered in
your warranty.
Using multiple speakers will increase volume!
Doepfer style power cable included.
Screws not included.
Speaker
8ohm moving coil speaker.
Approx. 4W
Range approx 150-17KHz
*Note!!!
Note: Physically disconnect your
power supply/case from the mains
electricity.
Ensure you connect up the module
correctly!
Ensure it is screwed into the case.
Ensure no metal parts can short out
the solder joints on the rear.
Ensure your case is 100% functional
before fitting the module.
It has been found over the last 15
years of making modules, that around
90% of module problems have typically
the following user problems;
Power cable connected wrong,
faulty power supply, other poor quality
modules fitted in the case affecting
other modules.
AUDIO IN Jack Socket
Audio Input to speaker.
This speaker is neither ideal for using as a PA at a gig, nor using as a precision reference
monitor to, say, master your LP with. I have to highlight these obvious points, just in case :)
The design of speaker cabinets is as complex and important as the speaker driver itself.
How/where the speaker is mounted will have a marked affect on sound.
We clearly have not control over its environment and no one modular system is identical.
Here are a few examples of what may affect sound, for better or for worse;-
Any type of hole. For example, air vents.
Large openings. For example, empty module spaces. Try and use blanking panels.
The size of the case.
The material of the case and how it is constructed. For example, if it has loose top/bottom
panels, these could vibrate.
Speakers are affected by magnetic fields. Try to keep it away from power supply
transformers. Badly designer power supplies or noisy transformers may affect performance.
In general, you don't have to worry too much, since this speaker is not for high quality,
precision monitoring. But do try to close big openings, and keep away from strong magnetic
fields.
