Meyer Sound LX-300 manual LX-LNK Interconnect, Transmission Range, Pin-outs

Component Specifications

LX-LNK Interconnect

Provides a high-speed connection between LX-300s. Carries command data and 32bit/48kHz digital audio data. An optional optical transceiver module extends the maximum transmission range.

Use only Link cables from Meyer Sound. These are Fibre Channel cables that have been qualified for high speed data use. They have a yellow label at each end that is marked "LX-Link".

Systems must be connected in a ring. The Next output of the LX-LNK module is connected to the Previous input of the following LX-300.

Connections must be made in order of Frame ID. Frame 1 NEXT connects to Frame 2 PREVIOUS. Frame 2 NEXT connects to Frame 3 PREVIOUS, and so on.

The last LX-300 in a system must loop back to the first LX-300. Connect the NEXT output on the last LX- 300 to Frame ID 01 PREVIOUS input.

The Frame Status window on the front of the LX-300 will show green lights for Next and Previous when the cables are properly connected to a LX-300.

Transmission Range

Up to 30m (100 feet) using copper cable.

Up to 500m (1000 feet) using multimode fiber optic cable and the optional fiber optic driver module.
