Audio Connections

This section outlines several connection possibilities for the LXP-5. Be-
cause each sound system is unique, we recommend experimentation to
arrive at the best configuration for your system. Always check connections
for proper impedance, polarity, and levels.
Audio connections to the LXP-5 are unbalanced, and should be made with
high quality shielded cables with 1/4" tip-sleeve phone jacks at the LXP-5
end. The connectors must be wired as shown below:
Sleeve - Shield/Ground
Tip - High
If only 1/4" tip-ring-sleeve phone jacks are available, they must be wired as
shown:
Sleeve - Shield/Ground
Tip - High
Ring - Connect to Sleeve
Mono or stereo?
The LXP-5 produces wonderful stereo effects from either mono or stereo
signal sources. For mono sources, use either of the two input connectors;
the dry signal appears (along with the stereo effects) in mono at both output
connectors. For instruments and sources with stereo outputs, use both
inputs. We recommend using both LXP-5 outputs whenever possible but, if
mono output is required, you can use just one of the two output connectors.
When only one output is used, the left and right signals are summed
internally .
Some of the examples on the following pages use stereo instruments and
amplification systems, others use mono. Feel free to adapt the examples to
your specific requirements.
