Rear Panel Callouts
1. DIRECT OUT Post/Pre Button -
When pressed in signal is routed to the DI output after the LX
preamp (meaning front panel controls are active, adjustments to EQ and other features will be
heard through the connected PA system). When left in the out position the DI signal is taken
from the input jack).
2. DIRECT OUT GROUND LIFT Switch -
When pressed in (the “LIFT” position), pin 1 is removed
from the chassis. This should be used only when a ground loop hum or buzz is heard. Other-
wise, leave it in the out (“GROUND”) position.
3. DIRECT OUT Jack -
Use this electronically balanced XLR jack to route signal from the LX5500
or LX8500 to a professional mixing console, as a tap to a main PA system via a mic input on
the console, or to an external amplifier. The DIRECT OUT signal is either pre EQ, meaning
that the signal is taken right after the input and is unaffected by the onboard EQ or post EQ,
meaning the signal is after the EQ section.
4. TUNER OUT Jack -
This provides a buffer isolated signal from your bass instrument to outboard
tuners mounted to a rack or pedalboard.
5. FX LOOP SEND/RETURN Jacks -
Use these jacks when connecting outboard effects units. You
can also use the SEND jack to route signal to a professional mixer or recording device.
6. FOOTSWITCH Jacks (LX8500 only) -
Connect a two-button footswitch terminating to a 1/4” TRS
plug (Tip = DRIVE & FX = ring/Tip = BRITE & ring = FREQUENCY) to one or both of these
jacks to allow you to turn on or off OVERDRIVE/FX and FREQUENCY/BRITE features of the LX
preamp.
7. SPEAKER OUTPUT -
Use these outputs to connect speakers to the amplifier output. The
amplifier provides both 1/4” and twist-and-lock output connectors, wired in parallel. It is
recommended to use the twist-and-lock jack whenever possible. The total impedance of the
speakers connected to all of the jacks must not be less than 4Ω.
8. Fan -
The variable speed fan provides vital cooling to the amplifier. Make sure that it is kept
free of all obstructions and that cool, fresh air is accessible at all times.
9. AC input with FUSE sled -
Connect the supplied standard 3-pin “IEC” plug here. Assembly
includes the fuse holder for the amplifier. Make sure the voltage rating is correctly set before
powering up the amplifier.
10. AC Voltage selection switch -
This switch is used to set the operation voltage. Be sure to check
that the switch is set correctly for your country.
11. POWER Switch -
Use this internally illuminated rocker switch to power the LX5500 or LX8500
on or off. The switch lights whenever the amplifier is powered on.
