INSTALLATION
RACK MOUNTING
The crossover is built for 19" racks/483 mm. The minimum mounting depth is 160 mm. The height is 44 mm.
You can fix the crossover with four screws M6 in the rack.
When mounting the crossover into a rack, please make sure that there is a proper air circulation.
Please make sure that there is enough space around the device so that the heated air can be passed on.
The rack should be provided with a cooling fan.
Be careful when mounting the crossover into the rack. Put the heaviest devices into the lower part of the
rack. Be aware that fastening the crossover with four screws on the front panel is not enough. In order to
ensure safety, additional fastening by using ground and side bars is necessary.
If racks are to be transported or used for mobile use, additionally fasten the devices by connecting the rear
brackets with the side or ground bars of the rack. In this way, the crossover cannot be pushed backwards.
The front panel alone is not designed to absorb acceleration forces occuring during transportation.
INPUTS
A good cable run improves the sound quality remarkably. Input cables should be short and direct, since high
frequencies will be mostly be absorbed if the cables are unnecessarily long. Besides that a longer cable may
lead to humming and noise trouble. If long cable runs are unavoidable, you should use balanced cables.
The inputs of your OMNITRONIC LXO-23 are equipped with electronically balanced XLR-connectors.
OUTPUTS
The high damping factor of your crossover supplies a clear sound reproduction. Unnecessarily long and thin
cables will influence the damping factor and thus the low frequencies in a negative way. In order to
safeguard good sound quality, the damping factor should lie around 50. The longer a cable has to be, the
thicker it should be.
The outputs of your OMNITRONIC LXO-23 are equipped with electronically balanced XLR-connectors.
CONNECTION TO THE MAINS
Connect the OMNITRONIC LXO-23 only after having made sure that the right voltage (230 V) is available.
This device features a T 0.5 A, 250 V fuse.
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.
The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:
Cable Pin International
Brown Live L
Blue Neutral N
Yellow/Green Earth
The earth has to be connected!
If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a disconnection switch with a
minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent electrical installation.
