7Dials CV Express Manuale utente
Thank you for your purchase of the 7Dials CV Express module. We hope you nd this unit to be a creative
addition to your modular synthesiser.
This build guide will show you how to build the CV Express module, focusing on our kit for the popular
Eurorack format.
The assembly of this DIY module will only require a small amount of elementary electronics
knowledge, but (like any DIY project) it does require a good level of soldering ability. If you are yet to
acquire soldering skills or experience then we would recommend you rst practice on some simpler kits.
This project is not by any means a difcult build, but it wouldn’t really be considered an ideal starting
project for a total beginner.
There are some really good DIY learning resources and soldering tutorials available online,
for example:
Adafruit-Soldering-Guide
If you’re building the CV Express from one of our kits, please make sure you rst check the quantities and
component values of all parts against the BOM provided. All resistors of multiple quantities should have
their values noted on the tape. Single quantity resistors will need to be identied by the builder, we’ve
included a list of all the relevant resistor colour codes needed for this project. It’s certainly worth double
checking that the correct resistors are all going in the right spots.
100k - Brown-Black-Black-Orange--Brown
110k - Brown-Brown-Black-Orange--Brown
1k - Brown-Black-Black-Brown--Brown
390r - Orange-White-Black-Black--Brown
36k - Orange-Blue-Black-Red--Brown
4k7 - Yellow-Violet-Black-Brown--Brown
2k - Red-Black-Black-Brown--Brown
4m7 - Yellow-Violet-Black-Yellow--Brown
100r - Brown-Black-Black-Black--Brown
10k - Brown-Black-Black-Red--Brown
200k - Red-Black-Black-Orange--Brown
220k - Red-Red-Black-Orange--Brown
220r - Red-Red-Black-Black--Brown
If you’re not building from a kit please refer to the BOM where we list part numbers and provide links to
various suppliers. All of the links are provided only as an aid to help the diy builder nd or compare the ap-
propriate part required for this project.
Any links provided in this manual are not to be seen as an endorsement of that product.
If you are sourcing your own parts and have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us, we’ll be
happy to help in any way we can. Builders can also check out the dedicated 7Dials CV Express Muffs

Now move onto soldering the diodes. There are a few different types included in the CV Express kit and
it’s very important that they are all put in the right places and also that they are all orientated correctly.
It’s also important not to linger too long with the soldering iron when installing diodes, they can easily be
damaged by excessive exposure to heat.

14.
Install the pair of 1n4148 diodes in the places on the pcb marked D1 & D2. (2x loose in cap bag, small red
body/black band on one end)
Please refer to the picture, it’s very important that the black band is orientated correctly with the white
stripe silkscreen marking on the pcb.
December 2015 9
CV Express build guide version 1.0
15.
Next, Install the pair of 1n4001 diodes in the places marked D4 & D5 (2x in cap bag, large black body/
silver band on one end)
Please refer to the picture, it’s very important that the silver band is orientated correctly with the white
stripe silkscreen marking on the pcb.
Next we proceed with installing the caps.
All of the ceramics caps are bipolar, so orientation is not important, but the two tall black 10uF electrolytic
caps are polarised, so it’s important to ensure that the instructions are closely observed when installing
that pair.
