There are also 8, 16 or 24 direct outs, depending on the frame size of your console. LX7-II’s balanced mic inputs all use Soundcraft new GB30 padless mic preamp providing 60dB of gain and 22dBu of headroom. Each input also includes 4 band EQ with two swept mid frequency controls. In addition, EQ In/Out switch and steep 18dB/Octave High Pass Filter, allow effective audio control in difficult venues whilst the six auxiliary sends are pre-post switchable in pairs from each channel, providing a maximum of 4 pre-fader and six post-fader. -

To avoid the risk of fire, replace the mains fuse only with the correct value fuse, as marked on the rear panel. The internal power supply unit contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all servicing to a qualified service engineer, through the appropriate Soundcraft dealer. -

General Wiring Procedures To take full advantage of the excellent signal to noise ratio and low distortion of Soundcraft consoles, care must be taken to ensure that incorrect installation and wiring does not degrade the performance of the desk. Hum, buzz, instability and Radio Frequency interference can usually be traced to earth loops and inferior earthing systems. -
Page 12: Initial Wiring Considerations
Initial Wiring Considerations For optimum performance, it is essential for the earthing system to be clean and noise free, as all signals are referenced to this earth. A central point should be decided on for the main earth point system, and all earths should be 'star fed' from this point. It is common electrical practice to `daisy chain' the earths to all electrical outlets but this method is unsuitable for audio installations. -
Page 13: Points To Remember
Points to Remember In all cases, use good quality twin screened audio cable. Check for instability at the output. Always connect both conductors at both ends, and ensure that the screen is only connected at one end. Do not disconnect the mains earth from each piece of equipment. This is needed to provide both safety and screen returns to the system star point. -

Page 23: Mono Input Channel
Mono Input Channel 1 - MIC INPUT 1 - MIC INPUT 1 - MIC INPUT 1 - MIC INPUT 1 - MIC INPUT The mic input accepts XLR-type connectors and is designed to suit a wide range of BALANCED or UNBALANCED signals. Professional dynamic, condenser or ribbon mics are best because these will be LOW IMPEDANCE. - Page 24 4 - G 4 - G 4 - G 4 - G 4 - GAIN This knob sets how much of the source signal is sent to the rest of the mixer. Too high, and the signal will distort as it overloads the channel. Too low, and the level of any background hiss will be more noticeable and you may not be able to get enough signal level to the output of the mixer.
- Page 25 HF EQ HF EQ HF EQ HF EQ HF EQ Turn clockwise to boost high (treble) frequencies (12kHz and above) by up to 15dB, adding crispness to cymbals, vocals and electronic instruments. Turn anticlockwise to cut by up to 15dB, reducing hiss or excessive sibilance which can occur with certain types of microphone.
