CONNECTING THE UNIT

The INPUT and OUTPUT connectors on the MPX 550 are 1/4 inch Tip/Ring/Sleeve and XLR sockets. Either may be used. Connections should be made utilizing high-quality shielded cables.

Note:

Power off the unit prior to connecting the footswitch; otherwise, Bypass functions will be enabled.

The MPX 550 produces effects from either mono or stereo sources. Either input can be used for mono sources. It is recommended to use stereo outputs whenever possible. Only material with Dual Mono routing is designed for mono outputs. Use either output connector if mono output is required.

FOOTSWITCH

A footswitch connected to the rear panel FOOTSWITCH connector can be used to control front panel Tap and Bypass functions. A momentary footswitch can be wired to a Tip/Ring/Sleeve connector. A stereo Y-connector allows two identical switches to be used.

Dual-Function Footswitch

A dual-function footswitch with a set of labels to indicate Tap and Bypass functionality is available at Lexicon dealers or at www.lexicon.com.
