Please Read:
Please read the Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Lab 2 Synthesizer Guidebook completely before use and retain for future
reference.
• Only use the DC power adapter provided by Pittsburgh Modular with Voltage Lab 2. Using an incorrect power adapter
can cause permanent damage to Voltage Lab 2 and the power adapter.
• Voltage Lab 2 is an electronic device. Exposure to water will cause Voltage Lab 2 circuitry to short circuit and may
cause permanent damage.
• Do not attempt to modify Voltage Lab 2. Tampering with the circuitry may cause permanent damage.
• Do not place heavy objects on Voltage Lab 2. The user interface is mounted on a PCB that can be damaged if stressed
by excessive weight.
• Do not attempt to repair Voltage Lab 2. Please contact Pittsburgh Modular regarding malfunctions of any kind.
• Pittsburgh Modular is not responsible for any damage or loss caused by improper use of Voltage Lab 2.
IMPORTANT Eurorack Ribbon Cable Power Information:
The Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Lab 2 Synthesizer is a pair of Eurorack format synthesizer modules. The modules can be
installed, rearranged, removed, and replaced in any compatible Eurorack case from Pittsburgh Modular, Cre8audio, or
other manufacturers.
Do NOT remove the Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Lab 2 Synthesizer modules from any case while it is
plugged in.
Do NOT plug or unplug the power ribbon cable from the Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Lab 2 Synthesizer
modules or case while the case is plugged in.
The Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Lab 2 Synthesizer modules use standard 16 pin Eurorack ribbon cables to connect the
module to a bipolar +/-12v power supply. Please pay very close attention to the orientation of the ribbon cable when
adding and removing modules. The stripe on the ribbon cable marks -12 volt power. This stripe needs to line up with the -12
volt pins on the power supply and the -12 volt pins on the module. The Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Lab 2 Synthesizer
modules include reverse polarity protection so they will not be damaged when plugged in incorrectly; however, as a
general rule, failure to match up the pins correctly can result in damage to one or all the modules in a case. On Pittsburgh
Modular and Cre8audio cases the positive and negative voltages are clearly labeled. On the Pittsburgh Modular Voltage
Lab 2 Synthesizer modules, the power headers are clearly labeled and keyed to ensure a safe and proper connection.
