Operating Manual - LX-308B Stereo Line/Microphone Mixer

1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of an Ashly LX-308B stereo line level mixer. The LX308B improves upon the LX308 with the addition of On/Off switches to all eight inputs, and peak signal detection on all inputs. Other features include eight balanced stereo inputs for line level sources, the first two inputs with switchable 30dB gain for low impedance dynamic microphones. A concentric level and pan control for each input adjusts channel volume and stereo position. Submaster inputs and outputs are provided for cascading two or more mixers. Ultra low-noise sum- ming amplifiers combine the channel signals for the main outputs. A pair of 6-segment LED meter arrays monitor the main output levels. Separate level controls are provided for stereo, mono, and headphone outputs.

2. UNPACKING

As a part of our system of quality control, every Ashly product is carefully inspected before leaving the factory to ensure flawless appearance. After unpacking, please inspect for any physical damage. Save the ship- ping carton and all packing materials , as they were care- fully designed to reduce to minimum the possibility of transportation damage should the unit again require pack-

ing and shipping. In the event that damage has occurred, immediately notify your dealer so that a written claim to cover the damages can be initiated.

The right to any claim against a public carrier can be forfeited if the carrier is not notified promptly and if the shipping carton and packing materials are not avail- able for inspection by the carrier. Save all packing mate- rials until the claim has been settled.

3. AC POWER REQUIREMENTS

The LX-308B mixer will perform normally from 95 to 125 volts AC. Use only properly grounded AC re- ceptacles. To reduce the risk of ground loop hum, use a central point for system AC power distribution. The AC line fuse is internal, and should only be changed by a qualified service technician.

4. SECURITY COVERS

For installations where it is desirable to protect the front panel controls from tampering or accidental misadjustment, use the Ashly security cover, which is available in both single and double rack space sizes. In- stallation is simple and does not require removal of the equipment from your rack. See your Ashly dealer for details.
