What is the MLT?
1. Intro
The MLT Passive Multiple is a 1 input to 6 out-
put or 2 input to 3 output signal multiplier. This
means input 2 is normalized to input 1 when
nothing is patched into input 2.
Since the device is passive, it can also be used
to combine signals. For example 3-to-1 or 6-to-
1. This DIY kit is very beginner friendly.

2. How to build the damned thing?
This is a beginner friendly DIY project. You
don’t need that much DIY and soldering skills.
If you are a beginner, make sure to watch at
least one of the recommended tutorials for
soldering electronics:
www.exploding-shed.com/info
Also you should have a minimum knowledge
about how to identify the polarity of electronic
parts. We do our best to highlight these
important info on the little bags.
General info
• Soldering iron
• Solder
• Pliers / Nut-Tool Set
• Wirecutter
Needed tools
You will need the following tools or just adapt the process to what you have at home.

2.1. Soldering the MLT
• Generally you start with the most at com-
ponents and „work your way up“.
• This is easy because there are just Thonki-
conns to solder.
• Start by puting the Thonkiconns into place
and turn the PCB around to the soldering
side.
• Solder just one Pin of each Thonkiconn rst.
• Check carefully if all Thonkiconns sit at on
the PCB surface.
• If not, heat up the soldering joint of the
misplaced Thonkiconn again and push it
into place.
• Then you can go on soldering the
remaining soldering pads.
• Now you are done. Congratulations!
You need basic soldering skills, a good iron and solder wire. We already mentioned the tutorials
before. Some parts have a polarity, this is mentioned on the bag-labels in red. You should know
about how to identify the polarity of electronic parts. If not, do your research rst.
