1. To replace the headphone jack will need to remove panels of the Digi 002, connectors to the circuit board, and a metal piece I call the “Bridge” need to be removed. Remove the screws with a Phillips head screw driver. (Note: Page 7 shows the metal piece I call the “Bridge”)

2. Before I take apart the unit, I labeled the panels I will be removing. My labels include information such as left, right, top, bottom, back and numbers of screws belonging to the panels of the unit.

3. Place the Digi 002 console on the foam with the bottom panel facing up. (Similar to picture above)

4. Will have different sized and colored screws . Keep the screws organized and handy.

Digi 002 Console: Remove Old Headphone Jack


8

1. There is a silver metal plate inside the Digi 002 which holds the panels together. I call this metal plate the “Bridge” and gave it a label.

2. I decided to label the two silver screws belonging to the “Bridge”. (Note: These two silver screws are smaller and thinner than the other silver screws belonging to the back panel of the Digi 002)

3. Use a hex socket wrench to remove the hex nut from the headphone jack. Keep this hex nut and washers for later.

4. Now the old headphone jack can be removed. 5. Next step is de-soldering and then solder wires to new

headphone jack.

Soldering: Solder wires to pins on new headphone jack


11

1. I like to label the pins (tip, ring, sleeve) on the new headphone jack before I begin to solder.

2. The pins can be identified by inserting a ¼ inch TRS cable into the headphone jack.

3. Tin each connector (Tinning means to apply solder to each pin, it is best when the solder looks shiny to secure good connections, but it is also ok if it doesn’t.

4. Always test the equipment after repair is complete to make sure audio signals are sent correctly to headphones = Left, Middle, Right.
