1
MIC
Each mono input channel offers a balanced microphone input via the XLR connector and also features swit-
chable +48 V phantom power supply for condenser microphones. The LAX preamps provide undistorted and
noise-free gain as is typically known only from costly outboard preamps.
2
LINE IN
Each mono input also features a balanced line input on a 6.3 mm Jack connector. Unbalanced devices (mono
jacks) can also be connected to these inputs.
3
TRIM
Use the TRIM control to adjust the input gain. This control should always be turned fully counterclock wise
whenever you connect or disconnect a signal source to one of the inputs.
The scale has 2 different value range: the first value range (+10 to +60 dB) refers to the MIC input and
shows the amplification for the signals fed in there.
The second value range (+10 to -40 dB) refers to the line input and shows its sensitivity.
4
EQ
All mono input channels include a 3-band equalizer (2-band equalizer LAX 502). All bands provide boost or
cut of up to 15 dB. In the central position, the equalizer is inactive.
5
PAN
The PAN control determines the position of channel signal within the stereo image.
6
LEVEL
The LEVEL control determines the level of the channel signal in the main mix
-Attention: Since the FX path for the effect processor is connected post-fader, the LEVEL control has to be
turned up in order to get this channels signal to the effects processor! (EXCEPT LAX 502)
7
CLIP
The CLIP LED´s of the mono channels illuminate when the input signal is driven too high, which could cause
distortion. If this happens, use the TRIM control to reduce the preamp level until the LED does not light
anymore.
8
LINE IN
Each stereo channel has two balanced line level input on 6.3 mm Jack connectors for left and right channels.
If only the connector marked "L"(left) is used, the channel operates in mono. Stereo channels are designed to
handle typical line level signals. Both inputs will also accept unbalanced connectors.
9
BAL
The Balance control determines the levels of left and right input signals relative to each other before both
signal are then routed to the main stereo mix bus. If a channel is operated in mono via the line input, the
control has the same function as the PAN control used in the mono channels.
