ThE InpUT pAd Should you have a particularly hot input signal that you are sending to the LX-3, you can engage a -12dB pad to knock down the signal and prevent distortion. This is done using the PAD switch, and will affect the output of the direct output LX-3, as well as both isolated XLR outputs. -
Page 7: Using The Ground Lift
LX-3 have a Jensen transformer in their signal path, which blocks DC voltage and breaks the ground loop. How- ever, the direct output is connected straight through to the input of the LX-3, and you may need to engage the ground lift on this output to disconnect the audio ground and help remove buzz and hum on this output. -
