NOISE PLETHORA V1- ASSEMBLY GUIDE – Rev. Feb 2022
POGO PIN HEADER
Remove the teensy and Place the Pogo pin header on the PCB, then place back the teensy pushing the pogo pins,
Double check they all are perfectly straight
and solder them. If not they might move and cause trouble!

SPACERs
Secure the spacers onto the CONTROL PCB (through the three holes with silver outline) with the main body of the
spacer on the component side, and the nut on the opposite.
You’re nearly at the end, but the next part is critical and takes a good bit of concentration. If you’re
feeling a bit strained, a break would definitely help. Reply to those unread messages or prove
someone wrong in Internet, for example. Mechanical parts are really delicate and will need your full
attention.
FRONT PANEL COMPONENTS MOUNTING TIPS:
Now we will proceed to mount mechanical parts to panel. This part of the assembly is CRITICAL. Please take your time
and read the following instructions carefully.
Most of t
hese components must
NOT
be soldered until they are placed on the PCB and fully attached to the front panel!!!
Please read carefully.
There are two reasons for this:
•
The height of the panel components are not all the same. Because of this, if not attached properly before
soldering, they will not stay properly seated against the panel. This might cause mechanical stress reducing their
life expectancy and in the worst case cause them to break.
•
The second reason is that it is very difficult to align the components to the holes if the panel is not positioned
prior to soldering.
MINI-JACKS
Place the mini-jacks on the PCB ensuring they are on the side with the silkscreen. Some of the minijacks ground legs
will share the same solder holes. This way it's easier to solder them in the right position. Keep in mind that the front
panel holes are quite narrow and it is almost impossible to place it with all the components already soldered.
So we will place them, make sure they are flat
and solder them all
. You might use the panel to make sure all jacks are
flat and straight.
