1.  Safety Precautions

Detailed safety precautions:

Please read all safety precautions and operating instructions before you attempt to 

operate the unit. Follow all safety precautions and keep operation instructions for 

future reference.

Damage:

Take care not to drop your FCV100 as this can lead to severe damage. 

BEHRINGER assumes no liability for any damage caused by the user.

Maintenance and care:

If the FCV100 is not used for more than three months, please remove the battery to 

avoid damage caused by battery leakage. The FCV100 will automatically turn on as 

soon as plugs are inserted into the inputs. To save battery power, remember to unplug 

the jacks when the unit is not being used.

For mains connection, use a 12 V DC power adapter with a current rating higher than 

10 mA. A wrong power adapter may damage the unit.

Clean your FCV100 with a dry cloth. Avoid using volatile solvents as they may damage 

the surface.

2.  Control Elements

Fig. 2.1: FCV100 controls (part 1)

(1) 

By switching into “NORM” mode, the FCV100 is capable of controlling the volume of 

two individual musical instruments. Signals from INPUT 1/2 are led to OUTPUT 1/2. 

In “CV” mode the FCV100 can control modulation and volume levels of other musical 

instruments by connecting OUTPUT 2 to the volume or modulation input of the 

instrument. In “CV” mode, when OUTPUT 2 is in use, INPUT/OUTPUT 1 can still be used for 

controlling the volume of another instrument, similar to “NORM” mode. All connections 

are made with standard 1/4" TRS plugs.

(2) 

In “NORM” mode, these jacks are used to feed separate instrument inputs with the 

FCV100’s input signal. If you only use OUTPUT 2 in “CV” mode, the FCV100 functions as a 

CV controller.

(3) 

Turning the MIN VOL control fully clockwise will increase the volume at the 

minimum setting. This allows you to set the volume range.
