Has anyone sent the output of a no input mixer into an a4mkii?

wondering if the inputs can handle it

Curiously, if you search the archives, you will find the posts of people with the same idea, who say they might try it… and then they never post again…

Its because the explosion that resulted blasted them into the stratisphere.

i shouldve added to my og post that i did a search, figured someone mightve given it a shot by now. guess not?

Yeah, I did this, and it turned my A4 mkii into a mki.

Seriously, though, I have a throwaway mixer I could test this with. But I don’t have a throwaway A4!

Setup

18v peak-to-peak. 6.66Vrms.

That seems a bit hot even for Eurorack. I’ll hold off on sending that signal to my AK until someone with more EE and Elektron knowledge than me can comment.

On second thought, Euro is +/- 10V, so 20V pp.

There was a discussion once around how much voltage the inputs can handle… maybe that‘s helpful?

CV outs back into Inputs or Expression input

hi guys, I just reveived 2nd word from the mothership regarding the inputs and voltages, I am very happy with the answer and that elektron took the time to answer me! below the answre from my ticket … The Analog Four inputs are +19dBu, this corresponds to around 20V peak to peak(+/-10V) Since the internal circuit provides +/- 12V internally and the inputs are diode bridged to the power rail it is safe to input up to +/- 12V to the inputs. However the input signal will start clipping around +/…

This is the key point. If the A4/AK can handle 20V peak to peak, then my Soundcraft should be safe to plug in since I’m only seeing 18V peak to peak. That’s well under the danger zone of 24V peak to peak, and I have everything cranked up.
