This is an introduction to the ADDAC219IN Stereo > Dual Mono by ADDAC System, available at Takazudo Modular.
The ADDAC219IN Stereo > Dual Mono is an interface module that separates external line-level stereo signals into individual left and right mono outputs. It accepts a 3.5mm stereo TRS jack input, internally splits the signal into left and right mono, and outputs each through independent 3.5mm mono output jacks. It also boosts line-level signals to Eurorack level. With two conversion sections, this module serves as a bridge between external gear and your Eurorack system.

Splitting Stereo Into Dual Mono
This module's function is straightforward -- exactly as described above: Split stereo into dual mono. Boost the level and output it ready for modular use!
Even when building a Eurorack system, you will often want to use other gear alongside it. For example, our shop carries the following as standalone audio devices:
The latter, The Mystic, has a mono output and can be connected directly to a Eurorack system. However, Wingie2's output is stereo -- audio out via a TRS cable carrying combined L/R signals. To connect this to a Eurorack system, you need to convert it to mono.
In such cases, you would need a cable that splits stereo into two mono signals, but having a dedicated module pre-installed in your setup keeps things tidy.
Adjusting Audio Level Differences
The ADDAC219IN does not just convert stereo signals to mono -- it also adjusts audio signal level differences.
Audio signals exchanged between Eurorack modules are around +/-5V, while other gear typically operates at +/-2V or less. In short, the signals exchanged between Eurorack modules are a bit too hot for most electronic instruments.
This is due to historical differences in how instruments evolved -- most electronic instruments handled audio waveforms at +/-2V or less, while Eurorack modules adopted +/-5V. Because of this voltage difference, you may notice that audio from external music gear sounds too quiet when brought into a Eurorack system.
This is where the ADDAC219IN's ability to boost the level of audio imported from external gear comes in handy. This module handles the level adjustment simultaneously -- a welcome convenience.
Examples of Gear With 3.5mm Stereo TRS Audio Output
Music gear that outputs audio via a 3.5mm stereo TRS jack includes products such as:
Devices with 3.5mm stereo TRS jacks tend to be smaller, gadget-style instruments. Additionally, since standard small headphone jacks are 3.5mm stereo TRS, this module could also be useful when you want to quickly bring audio from a PC or smartphone into your Eurorack system.
So whenever you want to bring something from outside your modular into the system, this is a great module to have on hand.
