Hi,

What are the impedance ratings of the in and outs of the Moog Voyager RME?

The Manual mentions that in balanced mode the outputs are 600 Ω.. is it the same when unbalanced?

More importantly I'd like to know the impedance ratings of the External Audio Input and the effect loop insert.

Cheers ...

Yeah thanks EricK but unfortunately I tried both those things with no luck.

It's gone off to UK service center now, sob.. at least it was an excuse to get the v3.0 upgrade at the same time. which will soften the blow a little!

Can anyone recommend a place in the UK for Voyager repairs?

Thanks

Steve

Hmm.. but anyway it does seem like something is wrong with the signal path for oscillator 2... and early on in the path. Damn... better find out who services Voyagers in the UK

Aha, good call... yes its working as a mod source.

So I've set PGM pedal source to osc2, destination filter. If I have all oscillators turned off but turn the amount up I can hear a tone... is this the filter making that noise? Is the high freq of modulation making it self oscillate somehow?

Also just tried sending the osc mixer levels via midi. Osc1+3 responding fine. 2 still dead.

I disconnected all midi and audio cables, no osc2 through headphones or from a single mono out, balanced or unbalanced.

I've run out of ideas.

Oh no...

Oscillator 2 is completely silent on my RME. Its turned on and set to 10 on the mixer.

I can't hear it from the main out or from the pre-filter 'mixer out'.

Changing 1->2 sync makes no difference. Modulating osc2 makes no difference, nor does changing it's entire range. Osc1+3 and ...

Hi,

I have a pair for sale as I bought them then decided to Rackmount after all. They have never been used and in totally mint condition. £30 including shipping within the UK. Thought I'd offer them here before Ebay.



Thanks

I find the 5U format to be a very inefficient use of space to be honest, and I'm finding there is much more progressive stuff happening in the Eurorack format.

For a totally retro Moog Modular style system Dotcom are clearly the main choice though, I'm just not on that tip.

Well some moogers would be nice... but I intend to start building a eurorack modular system around the RME so that's where my money will go I think. So I may consider trying to suspend a 3U modular rack on top too but I'm pretty positive that will need extra support.

Yeah it's the 351/352.. they really weigh nothing so the heavy ole RME keeps everything solid. There really is no wobble or sense of unbalance.

I guess you could possibly hang things off the front.. I've never seen (or more to the point held) a Moogerfooger.. but if they are as packed as the RME ...

It's still not finished, but you get the idea.
I intend to take better photos so I ask that no-one uses or links to these images elsewhere without my permission.

It was a very simple job taking the PCB out and routing the DB25 ribbon through behind the PCB instead. I'm going to take it all to a local sheet metal shop next week and get the DB25 ports mounted on the back of the 19" Rack with black blanking plates covering the holes on the front. The ribbons ...

Yeah the beige ones are pretty lousy.

I just bought a pair of these, just in case anyone else in the UK is the same aesthetic predicament

You know after recieving both these units today.. and putting them into the rackmount it looks like it wouldn't be impossible to have cables coming out the back instead. Would require extra holes cut in the rackmount bracket.

It would take a fair bit of dismantling of the front panel of the VX's ...
