Eurorack Installation
The Spring Type 636 can be taken out of its factory chassis and fitted into a standard Eurorack case (not supplied).
We recommend that this procedure is carried out only by an experienced service technician to prevent personal injury or damage to the Spring Type 636. The Eurorack case will need to have a suitable power supply with enough capacity to power the Spring Type 636. Consumption is 1 amp at 12 V DC.
A 10 pin to 16 pin adapter ribbon cable is supplied with the Spring Type 636.
Please ensure that the Eurorack case will supply ±12 V DC and ground to the correct pins, and that the cable is at the correct orientation before proceeding.

Procedure
Please follow all steps in the correct order.
1. Disconnect the power and all other connections to the Spring Type 636.
2. Undo the eight screws on the top panel as shown. There is no need to undo any other screw.
3. Carefully lift the top panel assembly, and turn it over so that the PCB is facing upwards. Be careful not to pull the ribbon cable from the lower side of the main PCB.
4. Disconnect the 24 pin ribbon cable from the main PCB of the Spring Type 636 and remove the assembly from the chassis.

5. Store the chassis assembly and power supply in a safe, dry place.
6. Securely connect the 10 pin end of the supplied ribbon cable adapter to the main PCB of the Spring Type 636.
7. Having ensured that your Eurorack case is isolated from the mains connect the 16 pin end of the ribbon cable to a spare outlet in the case.
8. Secure the Spring Type 636 to the case using the eight panel screws.
9. Perform a full safety test before using the Spring Type 636.

SPRING REVERBERATION 636 Getting started

Step 3: Getting Started

OVERVIEW
This ‘getting started’ guide will help you set up your Spring Type 636 and briefly introduce its capabilities.

CONNECTION
To connect the Spring Type 636 to your system, please consult the connection guide earlier in this document.

HARDWARE SETUP
Make all the connections in your system. Keep the Spring Type 636 power turned off when making any connections.
Ensure your sound system is turned down.
Turn on the Spring Type 636 before turning on any power amplifiers and turn it off last. This will help prevent any turn on or turn off “pops or thumps” in your speakers.

WARM UP TIME
We recommend leaving 15 minutes or more time for the Spring Type 636 to warm up before recording or live performance. (Longer if it has been brought in from the cold.) This will allow the precision analog circuits time to reach their normal operating temperature and tuned performance.
