Blacet Dual Linear VCA 2410

We acquired Blacet research in 2019 after the unfortunate passing of its founder, John Blacet. We will continue to make Blacet products available and support the FRAC format.

“The VCA2410 is a dual, linear response voltage controlled amplifier (VCA). Both VCAs may be used independently or together to process audio or control voltages. The two CV inputs are normalled to an internal voltage source so that the VCAs can be used in mixer mode without any external CV. When a patch cord is plugged into a CV jack, the internal CV is bypassed. Normalling also routes the A input to the B input and the B output to the A output. The “Controls and Operation” section will show why this is a handy feature. One control knob is available for each VCA. Note that they may yield the same results, but that each one has a distinct function. The upper control attenuates the input signal, while the lower control attenuates the CV. This allows added flexibility in use”

While stock lasts, kits will include the original Panasonic pots and Rean knobs. Once these are depleted we will be moving to Alpha pots and Chia Shin knobs. Because the flat d-shaft orientation, the old types and new types are NOT interchangaeable. 

If you use the old knobs on the new pots, or new knobs on the old pots, the pointer direction will be reversed 180 degrees from where John designed it.
