== Description ==
EQUALEqual-POWERpower CONTROLcontrol OFof PANNINGpanning ANDand CROSScross-FADINGLinearfading linear response assures that panning and percentage cross-fade behave predictably in response to a control voltage, eliminating signal level changes as well as annoying slow and fast areas. Equal Power control assures that the perceived loudness of the VCA's will remain constant at all positions of a signal in stereo or quadraphonic space.<ref name="sc82">[http://www.carbon111.com/serge1982.pdf Serge Modular Music Systems catalog and data sheets, 1982]</ref>
 
Note that this sub-module processes control voltages only. No audio signal is handled by it directly. It requires CGS108 gain cells to function.

== Construction ==
Line 15:
The circuit has been split over two PCBs, one containing the converter, the other the DC mixers.
 
An LM/CA3046 or LM/CA3086 transistor array has been used in the converter stage of the panner. Socket this chip as it can be fragile, and prone to self destruction. Transistor symbols on the PCB offer an alternative - to install regular transistors. These transistors would need to be matched See one of the other online resources for transistor matching, or follow the [[CGS Simplesimple transistor matching guide]] which will provide adequate results. ''Note that this discrete configuration has not been tested,'' and is offered only as a suggestion to experimenters.
 
Before you start assembly, check the board for etching faults. Look for any shorts between tracks, or open circuits due to over etching. Take this opportunity to sand the edges of the board if needed, removing any splinters or rough edges.

* 330R refers to 330 Ohms. 100 nF = 0.1 uF, etc.
* PCB is 1.4" x 1".
