Pico Input Line Level to Level Shifter

The Erica Synths Pico Input is a dedicated and essential utility module for anyone looking to integrate external audio sources into their Eurorack system. In just 3HP, this module provides a high-quality solution for boosting line-level or instrument-level signals to the much hotter levels required for modular synthesis. It allows you to seamlessly process audio from smartphones, laptops, drum machines, external synthesizers, and more with your Eurorack filters, effects, and other modules.

The Pico Input features two independent channels, making it suitable for both mono and stereo signals. The first input utilizes a 3.5mm stereo jack, which is internally normalled to both channels, allowing for easy connection of devices like MP3 players without needing adapter cables. The second input is a standard mono 3.5mm jack. Each channel has its own dedicated gain control, offering up to +40dB of clean amplification. This powerful boost is sufficient for even low-level signals, ensuring a healthy signal-to-noise ratio within your modular environment.

For added flexibility, the maximum gain can be configured via jumpers on the back of the module to either +20dB or +40dB, allowing you to tailor the module's response to your specific needs. Signal level indicator LEDs for each channel provide immediate visual feedback, helping you to set optimal levels without clipping. The Pico Input is a simple, effective, and indispensable tool for any musician wanting to expand their modular system's sonic palette by incorporating external sound sources.
