Lexicon MX500, Owner'S Manual

Page: 40 / 68

Input Source A
The MX500 has both analog and digital inputs that can be connected to.
Depending on which inputs you will be using, you need to select between
analog or digital sources. The MX500 offers three different input sources
to select from: Analog Mono L, Analog Stereo, and Digital. Input Source A
refers to whether you will be using analog A - Front (Stereo) inputs or digi-
tal input A. When only a single analog input is to be used, select
Analog
Mono L
and connect to the A - Front (Stereo) Left input only. All inputs
(analog and digital) can remain connected simultaneously in the event
you find yourself switching between using both. Use
Knob A
to select the
appropriate Input Source you will be using.
Input Source B
Input Source B is identical to Input Source A (explained above) except it
refers to analog and digital Input Pair B only. Use
Knob B
to select the
appropriate Input Source you will be using.
Clock Source
This option allows manual selection of either the internal or external clock
source for the MX500. When set to
44.1kHz
, the MX500 utilizes an inter-
nal clock with a 44.1kHz sample rate. When set to
48kHz
, the MX500 uti-
lizes an internal clock with a 48kHz sample rate. When set to
Digital
, the
unit utilizes the S/PDIF input clock source, even if an analog audio source
is used. The MX500 only accepts external digital clock information on the
Digital S/PDIF A input. Refer to
The MX500 and S/PDIF I/O
section on
page 12 for more information on using digital audio sources via S/PDIF.
Use
Knob C
to select the appropriate Clock Source you will be using.
Analog Output A
The MX500 analog outputs can be configured to run in stereo or in mono.
Each pair of outputs can be configured independently of the other. Analog
Out A refers to only A - Front (Stereo). When only a single output cable is
to be used, connect to the A - Front (Stereo) Left output only and set the
Output mode to
Mono Left
. Output Mode only affects the analog outputs.
Use
Knob A
to select between Mono Left and Stereo.
