 the following informations are take from the midibox forum, its a collection of infos, without the claim to be 100% true, i will try to test the given information. the following informations are take from the midibox forum, its a collection of infos, without the claim to be 100% true, i will try to test the given information.

 +also reverse engeniering/​understanding/​troubleshooting/​moding is nearly impossible when the pcbs are stuffed, because most of the traces are on the component site... or hidden behind the black paint\\\
 +--- first i want to know for what are those POTs? Input Gain of Audio? or of CV? or some BIAS? seppoman said nothing...\\
 +POT P1 middle & right Pin connected to VCC-\\
 +POT P1 left Pin connected to a 27K Resistor and this resistor to a nother 27K Resistor which is connected to CV1+ Input. the middle point of this2xresistors is going to the TL74-OP-Amp Pin1 which is a inverting input...\\
 +The Output of this TL74 Stage is Pin1: its connected to Pin 6 SSM2164, which is the CV-Input\\
 +When i measure Pin6 to Ground, and Turn P1 most left:​1,​8V... Turn P1 most right: 2,47V\\
 +so what does it? no one said: its a zero offset for bipolar cv? or is it gain-control?​ FIXME m( \\

 we came to the conclusion that it's probably much easier to have the AOUT only output **unipolar 0 to 10 volt**, and design **a simple -5v level shifter board** that can be used as an add-on (or separate module with hands-on access to the level shifting) to **shift the output to -5 to +5 volt** where needed.\\ we came to the conclusion that it's probably much easier to have the AOUT only output **unipolar 0 to 10 volt**, and design **a simple -5v level shifter board** that can be used as an add-on (or separate module with hands-on access to the level shifting) to **shift the output to -5 to +5 volt** where needed.\\

 +====== MODs ======
 +===== MODE Resistor - Noise vs Distortion =====
 +SSM2164 Pin 1 (the first pin) sets the "​Mode"​
 +==== Class AB ====
 +Pin 1 is Open, no Resistor to +12V (PCB Default)\\
 +Lower  current results in higher distortion/​lower noise.\\
 +---i do want distortion and dont care about noise--- so i do not change anything, the pcb is fine.
 +==== Class A ====
 +Pin 1 is Connected to +12V via a Resistor\\
 +Higher current results in lower distortion/​higher noise\\
 +lets look in the datasheet:​\\
 +{{:​phatline:​ssm2164-ab-a.png?​600|}}\\
 +Figures 11 and 12 show the THD and noise performance of the
 +SSM2164 as the bias current is adjusted\\

 +I_MODE = ( (V+)−0.6V )/ RB\\
 +1,52mA = (12V-0.6V) / 7,5K\\
 +Leaving the MODE pin open sets the SSM2164 in Class AB with 30 μA in the Gain-Core\\
