MP 599 Main board Assembly guide

23. Frame assembly

Attach the side panel to the front 
plate with two M3x6 black 
countersunk screws.

24. PCB mounting

Put the PCB in place, switches and pots going through the front panel. Watch out for the LED position. 
Attach the PCB with 4 M3x25 mm spacers and 4 shake-proof washers.

25. Knobs

Attach the 2 knobs.

26. Test

Your MP 599 is now ready for test. Please follow instructions in the “MP599 Test” document.

DI board Assembly guide

1. Horizontal resistors

Add R41 to R45, R48 to R51.
Control the resistor values with a digital multimeter. Bend the leads at 0.4” with a lead forming tool.

2. Diodes

Add D10, D11. These diodes are installed vertically, cathode (black ring) on top.

Warning

: Make sure to respect the direction of the diodes which is marked by a ring on the component 

and a “k” on the PCB marking.
