Setup and Use
This section assumes that you have read the
Layout
section of the manual, and are familiar with the basic
operation of the front panel controls as well as the input and output connections.
This simple set-up allows the LK-Solo to function as a headphone amplifier.
1.
Connect the AC power plug to the LK-Solo and to your AC power socket.
2.
Power on the LK-Solo.
3.
Select
STEREO
and set the Volume to zero.
4.
Select
CH1
and set the Volume to zero.
5.
Select
CH2
and set the Volume to zero.
6.
Select
CH1+2
and set the Volume to zero.
7.
Connect the DAW main stereo monitor outputs to
Stereo Input Left
and
Stereo Input Right
.
8.
Connect headphones to the
Headphone Output
.
9.
Select
STEREO
.
10.
Play a track and raise the
STEREO
Volume level of the LK-Solo to comfort.
(Optional) Adding External Monitoring:
Connect the
Stereo Output Left
and
Stereo Output
Right
of the LK-Solo to a monitor system. This signal is not affected by the LK-Solo Volume settings and is
the same (un-attenuated) level as the DAW main stereo output.
The LK-Solo must be powered on when the system that it is connected to is in use. Distortion may result
to signals passing through the LK-Solo when it is not powered.
Muting unused inputs will minimize headphone noise.
While connected to the LK-Solo, it is important that the external monitoring controller be powered on,
even when it is not in use.
The connection between the output of the DAW and the input of the monitor system is uninterrupted. If
the output of the DAW uses balanced cables, then the output of the LK-Solo must also be connected to
the monitor system with balanced cables. Conversely, if the output of the DAW uses unbalanced cables,
then the output of the LK-Solo must also be connected to the monitor system with unbalanced cables.
