Palette Case
CIRCUIT BOARD
Running along the back edge of the Pallette is its built-in circuit board, which contains all of Palette’s
audio, midi, power, and module connection circuitry.
The jacks and switches that run along the top of the circuit board were discussed earlier in the
description. Below these jacks and switches, and facing into the case, are the various headers
needed to connect your gear. These are:
A. Power Connectors
(x12)
Twelve 16-pin power connectors for
powering your modules. The
connectors are shrouded to insure
that properly manufactured ribbon
cables can be connected only one
way — with the red (-12V) wire to
the right.
Make sure, if you’re using cables
from another manufacturer or
sourced elsewhere, that the red
stripe is on the right when plugged
in.
Plug the other end of the ribbon cables into the Eurorack modules you wish to power — being
careful (if the module’s power connector isn’t shrouded) to align the red stripe with the -12V
pins on the module. These pins are indicated differently by different manufacturers, but often
will say “-12V,” or “Red Stripe,” or have a visible white stripe next to the -12V side of the
connector. See your Eurorack modules for details concerning its -12V power nomenclature.
