Hi!

I'm starting using vca circuits. I draw a standard 2181 vca circuit from the douglas self small signal book.

I will attach mono jacks to all inputs and outputs.
My question is if the CV input should be AC coupled or not?

Thank you for your advise!!

Hi Jakob!

Ok! now i start to understand...

If it is for just volume control with a pot and +/-15v... DC coupling.
If it is for modulating the VCA with an LFO... AC coupling.
