LA Audio Electronic SPX20 operation manual Introduction

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The SPX20 is a six input stereo source selector designed to extend the number of inputs and range of monitoring facilities available on a typical mixing console. However the SPX20 is suitable for a wide range of monitoring applications including tape dubbing, audio-visual and digital workstations and for installation in background music applications.

Each of the inputs on the SPX20 has a level trim with sufficient range to cope with +4dBu and -10dBV equipment and for balancing the levels between the different sources. Inputs are selected by momentary action buttons which also allow more than one input to be selected at a time. Multiple inputs are mixed (summed).

Two separate outputs with level controls and on-off switching provide a means of selecting and balancing levels between two types of monitor speakers or alternatively to add a 'monitor mix to studio' facility to your mixer. The outputs have relay switching which is delayed at power on to prevent annoying and potentially dangerous thumps and clicks reaching your monitor speakers. The output section also has an overall Balance control, Mono and Dim switching.

The SPX20 also has a built-in headphone amplifier with separate level control and front panel accessible connector.
