INTRODUCTION TO THE ML1 MUSIC LIGHTS KIT
One of the most popular effects to be found at music fests and concerts has
to be the Color Organ, better know as Music Lights. A set of music lights will
control an array of lights in a dazzling display of never ending, fascinating
patterns. While not as elaborate or expensive as its professional cousins,
your ML1 is just as hard working and just as fine. Don’t let its small size fool
you; it will easily control up to 300 watts of standard 120 VAC lights per
channel, and considering that a flood light is only 150 watts, you can see that
quite a display can be constructed! There are three channels which are
individually controlled - one for the low audio frequencies, one for the
midrange and one for the treble or high frequencies. You’ll think of all sorts of
uses for the ML1, from Christmas displays to disco dance parties, anywhere
a festive, fun atmosphere is called for.
This kit operates on and controls the AC line voltages, so EXTREME CARE
must be exercised in the building, testing and operation of this kit! At all
times, treat this kit as being ‘live’...after all, its not a little ol’ 9 volt battery
powering it! You must build it into a suitably insulated enclosure such as a
plastic box or mount it thoughtfully in a metal chassis.
In keeping with our spirit of getting folks to build and learn, you’ll see that
your kit has easy step-by-step instructions that guide you carefully to a
finished working kit. You’ll not only build the kit, but learn it too!
Building Your Kit
Most Ramsey kits can be classified as single evening kits suitable for
beginners or old pros and this one is no exception. But don’t let confidence
get in the way of better judgment. Remember, if you solder 100 solder joints,
even being right 99% of the time will still allow one error! Therefore, please
take to heart these following guidelines:
• Use a comfortable pencil type soldering iron for assembly
• Keep your iron tip clean; it will then produce professional, shiny and
reliable joints. Use a damp sponge to wipe your tip before every joint.
• Good lighting is a must. Why strain yourself with poor lighting?
• Take advantage of the fact that our manuals are written in stages; take a
break and check your work before proceeding.
• Be on the lookout at each solder joint for a splash, bridge or errant wire
lead that could prove hard to find later.
Enough said. Lets get building......
