SPLiT BUILD GUIDE AND MANUAL

Hello fellow DIYer!
Thank you for purchasing a SPLiT kit. This is a simple yet useful passive DIY module
for your Eurorack system. It allows you to either input your small external devices
such as iPhones, Korg NTS-1, Pocket Operators with your system easily or output
your Eurorack signals to external gear!
Please be aware that as this is passive and will not boost or reduce input/output
audio levels so you would need to attenuate/amplify signals using modules such as
the Music Thing Modular-Mikrophonie(amplify) or the AT-AT-AT Attenuator(reduce)
from Thonk(or similar devices).
This is an ideal first time DIY soldering project for you as there are very few parts
and it has been designed carefully so that it should be easy to build first time.
It is passive so it takes no power from your system and is only 2 HP in size.
If this is your first time soldering please check out this useful guide here.
By undertaking the construction and soldering yourself you agree that it is your
responsibility to complete the final build safely and confidently.
This kit is sold exclusively through Thonk and you can find full terms and conditions
here.

Bill Of Materials
PART
DESIGNATOR
2 x Stereo Thonkiconn
(Green)
S

4 x Mono Thonkiconn (Black)
M
6 x Nuts (2 knurled and 4
hex)
1 x SPLiT Front Panel
1 x SPLiT PCB
BUILD PROCESS
First, grab the 2 x green stereo jacks and the PCB. Place each of the Jacks where
the silkscreen displays the ‘S’ (S is for Stereo).

Next, grab the front panel and place over and onto the jacks and finger tighten the
two round knurled nuts. Remember to keep hold of the panel and PCB(or use an
elastic band or masking tape wrapped around to hold them in position).

Note: Make sure the stereo jacks are in the correct position when in the panel as shown.
Now, turn over the panel and PCB and solder the jacks into place.
Tip: Solder one leg first and make sure the jack is straight before soldering the other two. If
it needs adjusting then simply reheat the leg and carefully straighten the jack before
attempting the other connections.

Now that the two stereo jacks are done, untighten the nuts and remove the front
panel.
Place the mono jack sockets onto the PCB and place them onto the PCB where the
silkscreen displays ‘M’
Note: Each pair of jacks ground legs(the sticky out ones) face each other and do not worry
if you accidentally bridge these when you solder them.
Place the panel back on and put the knurled nuts back onto the stereo jacks. Now
you can place and finger tighten all the mono jack nuts.

Make sure the jacks are straight and sitting nicely and that the panel is laying flat,
turn over and solder all the mono jacks in place.
Once soldering is done you can either trim the legs of the jacks or keep them as
is(they don’t stick out too far).

Check all your solder joints for any bridging or cracks and reflow as needed, then
clean the PCB using a Flux cleaner.
Now you should be good to go!
SPLiT usage and tips and tricks
Now that the module is part of your system what can be done with a seemingly
simple little 2 HP utility??
Here are some ideas and uses:
●Plug in an iPad/iPhone and split out left and right channels to route into your
system. You’ll probably need to boost the signal on each channel after. How
about using the 2XiNPUT module for this job??
●Use a pocket Operator connected with a stereo cable to use its sync output
and audio with your Eurorack system.
●Connect your Korg Volcas.
●Output your favourite eurorack module into a Korg NTS-1 or MiniKP for audio
FX processing and back into your Eurorack for further patching.
●Convert a TRS-A to TRS-B MIDI cable!

●I’m sure there are many other uses that I haven’t thought of yet, can you
think of any??
