CLX-52 Compressor/Limiter

A great deal of time was spent developing a wide-bandwidth, ultra-low-distortion, low noise VCA (voltage controlled amplifier). The result is the CLX-52, a versatile and highly listenable compressor/limiter suitable for use in professional sound reinforcement, recording and broadcasting.

The CLX-52 has three different connector types:

1/4” inch stereo TRS jacks

Three pin XLR type connectors

Euroblocks

These three connectors facilitate interfacing to most professional audio products. Both inputs and outputs can be used balanced or unbalanced.

Connectors & Cables

Your CLX-52 Compressor/Limiter is provided with three different connector types:

1.1/4 inch stereo phone jacks (TRS)

2.Three pin XLR type connectors

3.Euroblock Connector

When possible, balanced connections are recommend between all components in your system, as this eliminates ground-loop induced hum and noise.

CLX Connector Polarities

Unbalanced Connections and Grounding

If you must use unbalanced connectors, the negative lead of the connector should be tied to the ground lead. Using unbalanced connections could result in chassis ground-loop noise. Altering the signal/chassis ground relationship in equipment connected to your CLX unit may eliminate the noise.
