Oscillator...

Post by Kan Kaban » Fri Dec 16, 2011 9:54 pm

I have everything to do bias on my 5050, but the oscillator..
May I use some tone generator in software?.
How do I know about proper level?.
Tks.

A software tone generator should be fine. Read the manual to find out what frequency and voltage the test tone should be. Use a volt meter to adjust the level coming out of the software. For example, if your machine needs to see a 1k sine wave at +4, your volt meter should read approximately 1.23vac.

mind that the mx-5050 is unbalanced and came from the factory pin 3 hot or could have been modified in the field later in time for pin 2 hot..if the previous owner/tech had any sense there should be a written in note in the manual..
