Mortal Kombat T-unit ver 4.0 Volume really low.
« on: September 03, 2007, 10:08:47 pm »
Ok so the volume on this is really low, I've been all threw the test menus and cannot find anything that will allow me to turn it up.  Where should I be looking, is there something on the board that I need to turn up?

I have the earlier Y version with the audio board.   If my memory is intact I think the original board had a POT for volume control.   Don't know if that is true with the T unit tho.

Edit:   Just checked a T unit manual.  The volume control is connected to the sound board same as the Y version.

There should be one in the cab connected to the sound board.   

I got the T version manual under PDF manuals and schematics at   http://arcarc.xmission.com/

It's not a deadicated cab, I just bought the board, and didn't know I needed a sound cable.

The pot is connected to pins  2 and 4 of connector P5 on the sound board.    The center lug of the pot is connected to pin 2 and one end lug is connected to pin 4.   I do not have a pot value as it was not in the docs but I would  guess at about 10 Kohms.

You would something more like one of these -

Especially if you want to mount it somewhere else later on.

Either the 5K or 10K should do it.

I know you mentioned your cabinet wasn't dedicated..... but does it have a volume pot wired in on the jamma harness at all?
I ask because my NBA Jam uses a similar setup and since the volume control was already wired into the jamma harness for the speakers all I had to do was make a jumper to go between pins 2 and 4.

Not a technician . . . . just a DIY'er.

Nope it's going in that dynamo street fighter cab that I got yesterday, and I believe that I'm going to have to wire the entire thing up all over again, because it doesn't have alot of stuff, like test and service switches.
