Doepfer A-180-2 Multiples

Compact passive 2x 1-to-3 multiple for splitting any audio/CV/gate signal

2 HP Eurorack module

The A-180-2 Multiples is a 2HP passive multi-connector for the Doepfer A-100 system. It provides eight 3.5mm sockets that are factory-wired as two independent groups of four (sockets 1-4 and 5-8). Each group acts as a passive 1-to-3 splitter — patch one signal in and copy it to up to three destinations. An internal solder bridge can join the two groups into a single 1-to-7 multiple. Because it is passive, it works equally well for audio, CV, gate and trigger signals; there is no active buffering, so very long cable runs or heavy loads on a single source can introduce slight signal loss.

Features

  • Eight passive 3.5mm sockets
  • Two independent 4-way groups by default
  • Optional internal solder bridge for 8-way operation
  • 2HP wide; ~18mm deep behind the panel
  • No power required — fully passive
  • Works with audio, CV, gate, trigger, clock
  • Bidirectional sockets — any socket can be input or output
  • No buffering or active electronics
  • Suitable for short-to-medium cable runs
  • Classic A-100 System utility module

How-To Guides

  • Split one VCO to three destinations
  • Distribute one clock to four trigger destinations
  • Share 1V/oct across multiple voices
  • Run two unrelated signals on one module
