Lexicon NT Series Amplifiers

Wire multiple amplifier triggers in parallel. Common “zip cord” wire is adequate. (If you find that using audiophile cable for the trigger signal sounds better, feel free to use it, just don’t tell anyone else.)

The pin outs on the CP-3PLUS and DC-1 series have appropriate signals available via the rear panel DIN connectors. Pin 1 is ground and Pin 3 is +5V. (On the DC- 1, Pin 3 may be +12V, depending on an internal jumper configuration, but either 5V or 12V will work.)

All of the Lexicon amplifiers, with the exception of the 501, which is single- Bridged Operation channel, can be bridged, doubling the normal output voltage. Please refer to the

rear panel diagram for each model for specific wiring information. Note that only the red colored output connectors are used in bridged operation. To ensure consistent polarity, note the + and – markings on the bridged operation wiring diagram on the amplifier rear panel.

No sound

Check setting of the input connector type (BAL/ Troubleshooting

 

UNBAL) and operation mode (BRIDGED/INDI-

 

VIDUAL).

 

Check the speaker cable wiring on the rear panel and

 

verify correct configuration for individual or bridged

 

operation.

 

Use another amplifier channel to verify that the input

 

signal is good. Use another speaker to verify that the

 

speaker is not faulty.

No LEDs

Check the power cord connection.

 

Disconnect power cord from amplifier, and check rear

 

panel fuses.

 

Check front panel power switch is ON.

 

Turn Remote ON/OFF switch to LOCAL. If amplifier

 

turns on, check voltage of the trigger signal at the input.

 

It must be at least 3.8 volts.

LEDs continuously

 

red or yellow

Check input and output cables for short circuits. If

 

LEDs remain red or yellow, disconnect the power and

 

contact Lexicon Customer Service at (617) 736-0300, or

 

your local dealer.

Your Lexicon amplifier requires no maintainence. It is, however, good electrical Maintenance practice to clean all connectors once a year. An occasional dusting of the exterior

surface with a soft cloth helps maintain the unit’s luster. Do not use any abrasive chemicals or cleaners as this will damage the surface.
