TipTop Audio 207t Overview
The Buchla Model 207t from TipTop Audio is a flexible workhorse 28 HP Eurorack module featuring a six-channel mixer, 1/4" microphone input with preamp, two main outputs, and two monitor outputs. Switches allow you to instantly route the six inputs to the program or monitor outs, while program levels are controlled via fader levels. Two of the 6 inputs offer voltage-controlled panning, while the four center channels provide channel-assignment knobs for panning control. A pair of expansion inputs allows you to link two 207t modules together.
Microphone Input with Preamp
At the bottom right side of the mixer is a microphone input with preamplifier and gain pot. The microphone input jack takes a 1/4" TRS phone plug. Above it is the gain switch and knob, which sets the gain of the preamp. The switch has two different ranges, 55 dB and 70 dB to cover most microphones that need to be boosted to Eurorack signal levels. The microphone input can be used for a signal from some other source such as an electric guitar or line-level electric piano.
6 Mixer Signal Inputs with Routing Switches
Horizontally on the bottom are the six mixer signal input jacks (A through F). Above these are six yellow Monitor switches. Putting any of these switches in the up position sends the signal from that input to the Monitor output on the mixer. The six blue switches, when up, send the respective signal to the main Signal outputs. The sliders are attenuators on the input signals going to the Signal outputs. They have no effect on any signal going to the Monitor outputs.
Voltage-Controlled Panning + Channel Assignment
Above the four center sliders are Assignment pots, which pan the signal between the left and right outputs. The input channels on either side of each mixer (A and F) feature voltage-controlled assign. Without any control voltage, channel A is assigned to the left output and channel F goes to the right output. As a control voltage increases the signal pans to the other output channel. The two LED's below each control voltage input indicate the channel to which the signal is going.
Signal and Monitor Outputs + Expansion Inputs
On the top right of the mixer is one left-channel output jack and one right-channel output jack, two mono Monitor outputs, and a stereo pair of Expansion Input jacks. These last two jacks are actually a pair of inputs without attenuators, assign control, or access to the Monitor output. The jack on the left goes directly to the left output and the left right goes to the right output. These inputs can be used to link the two mixers to form one 12-in, 2-out mixer. To do this simply patch the Signal outputs of one mixer into the Expansion Inputs of the other.
