External Connections
The LynxONE includes two break-out cables that provide connections for external
equipment. The six-foot Audio Cable provides XLR connectors for analog and digital
audio signals. The two-foot MIDI/Clock Cable provides 5-pin DIN connectors for the
two MIDI ports and female BNC connectors for clock input and output.
Two bracket mounted D-connectors provide connection ports for the break-out cables:
the Audio Port is a 25-pin female D-connector and the MIDI/Clock port is a high-
density 15-pin female D-connector.
Referring to figure above, locate the Audio Port and the MIDI/Clock Port on the
mounting bracket of the LynxONE. Insert the Audio Cable into the Audio Port and
tighten the thumb screws on the cable shell. Insert the MIDI/Clock Cable into the
MIDI/Clock Port and tighten the thumb screws on the cable shell.
Use of both cables is not a requirement. If you will be using only the audio capabilities
of the LynxONE, for example, there is no reason to connect the MIDI/Clock cable.
Analog Audio
The XLR connectors on the Audio Cable, labeled LEFT IN, LEFT OUT, RIGHT IN,
and RIGHT OUT, are used to connect balanced and unbalanced analog equipment to
the two analog inputs and outputs of the LynxONE. Make connections to professional
consoles and other balanced equipment directly with these connectors. Connect to
balanced equipment with ¼” TRS jacks using XLR-to-TRS adapters such as the Lynx
CBL-XF2TM18 (female XLR) and the Lynx CBL-XM2TM18 (male XLR). Connect
to unbalanced consumer devices with RCA jacks using XLR-to-RCA adapters such as
the Lynx CBL-XF2RM18 (female XLR) and the Lynx CBL-XM2RM18 (male XLR).
Adapters with line transformers are not required. Refer to the “XLR Connector Wiring
and Adapters” section for information regarding XLR adapter construction.
The nominal analog signal levels are compatible with either professional or consumer
equipment. Use the Trim control on the LynxONE Mixer application to select +4dBu
for balanced professional devices or –10dBV for balanced or unbalanced consumer
devices. The Trim control affects both inputs and outputs.
