front panel
The dB-calibrated level controls are implemented as
ultra-precise detent potentiometers that are recessed
in the front panel to protect them from accidental
contact. Power, Protect, Signal and Limit LEDs provide
a quick overview of the operating status.
rear panel
The electronically balanced XLR IN / OUT sockets are
provided for direct operation with professional mixing
consoles and signal processors. All the models in the
LX series are designed for a Constant Gain of 32 dB.
The power outputs for Channels A and B as well as
the Bridged Out are on Speakon connectors.
The signal of Output B is additionally available on pins
±2 of Output A, so that with 4-pin wiring a two-way
system can be driven. A Ground Lift switch is also pro-
vided to separate the chassis ground from the signal
ground in order to eliminate ground loop hum.
dYnaMic liMiters
Dynamic limiters are general components in all
DYNACORD power amplifiers. High-speed audio
processors are continuously comparing the input signal
to the output signal, and in the event of any non-
linearity, the processors send control signals to the
limiters, which operate dynamically upon the input
level. As a result, the THD all the way up to 21 dBu is
limited to an inaudible 1% max. at the output.
lpn + lo-cut
The retrofittable NRS 90268 kit, which is available
as an option for all LX power amplifiers, combines
the LPN (low-pass notch) filter with a low-cut filter.
These eliminate transient non-linearities in the low
frequency range in small to medium-sized full-range
speakers and thereby considerably extend the repro-
ducible range at the bottom end. The acoustic result
is bass reproduction with more punch and greater
substance.
