ASSEMBLY
User Interface
Assembly of the new MisMatcher01 REV.D has been greatly simplied compared
to previous versions. With most of its critical components already soldered in place,
users only have to solder a handful of jacks and potentiometers, reducing human
error during assembly.

6
Start by snapping the three potentiometers in place, followed by the three gold
RCA jacks and lastly the seventeen PJ-341 jacks.
Secure the PCB and solder these components. Keep in mind that some
components might move when you ip the PCB upside down or while soldering. To
avoid this, press the components against the PCB as the solder ows to ensure their
most upright position.
Finish off by performing a visual inspection on the solder joints.
The 8-pin male header will be assembled later.

7
Main PCB
Start by snapping the three potentiometers in place as well as the piano DIP
switch. To ensure the correct placement of the power switch and the male and female
header, place these components and then secure the two PCBs with the 8 screws
and four standoffs provided.
Solder these components and nish off with a visual inspection of the solder
joints.
