MAKING CONNECTIONS
Before making connections, ensure that your sound system is turned off and all volume controls are turned down. This prevents
any plug-in transients from damaging speakers or other sensitive components. The LX-2 is completely passive, so it doesn't
require any power to operate.
The LX-2 has a combination XLR/TRS input connector, which is wired with the AES standard pin-1 ground, pin-2 hot (+), pin-3
cold (-).You can connect balanced or unbalanced inputs to the LX-2; the isolated output will always be a balanced signal, while
the direct output will be balanced or unbalanced depending on the input source.
USING THE TRIM fUNCTION
For situations where a level adjustment is required, the trim control on the LX-2 allows you to attenuate overly hot signals. This
lets you drive your mic preamps hard to achieve coloration, while attenuating the level at the LX-2 to avoid clipping the inputs
of your recording interface. This trim control is activated by a recessed 'set & forget' TRIM ON switch. For use on stage or in
situations where attenuation is not needed, simply disengage this switch to prevent accidental or unwanted level adjustments.
