DivKid ‘Mutes’ DIY Build Guide 

Hello and thanks a lot for choosing Mutes semi DIY kit!

This manual will guide you through the build of the Mutes module. First of all, 

please take your time to inspect all parts involved and get familiar with 

what’s ahead of you.

Some steps are not obvious, so even if you're an experienced DIYer please 
read the steps thoroughly before starting. 

The fact that SMD components 

are pre-soldered does not mean this is an easy one

. Please be careful 

and doublecheck all your steps.

In this semi kit you get two boards with SMD pre-assembled, front panel and 

the rest of the  mechanical components needed to finish a Mutes modules. 

Once again thanks a lot for choosing Mutes!!

GOOD LUCK!

MAIN PCB 

We will start assembling the Main PCB (smallest one) This board has main circuit components 

pre-soldered and we will just solder  Vactrols, power conector and Female connectors.

Vactrols ‘VTL5C1’ (4)

Description / Notes

Mind polarity when placing the Vactrol. Short leg for LED negative in 

silkscreen. 

Solder points

LDR1, LDR2, LDR3, LDR4
