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.

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.

Note:

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

BYPASS

TAP

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.
