Figure: 1 Input connectors

We recommend labeling each plug connected to the LX-1 . A “Sharpie” marking pen is ideal for
this purpose.

The top row of 6-pin rear panel connectors are for channel control. They provide Ready tally,
channel ON indication, start and stop pulses and permit channel selection. The two 12-pin
connectors on the top row permit full remote control.

The audio connectors are located along the lower portion of the rear panel. The six 6-pin
connectors are the channel audio inputs and the two 12-pin connectors are for program output
and Loop functions.

PIN #1 Pin #1 of all connectors is located to the left. See figure 1.
