LX2

LX-2™ Passive Line Splitter & Attenuator

The Radial LX-2™ is a passive balanced line level audio splitter that allows you to easily send an audio signal to two different destinations at once without noise, while also providing the ability to attenuate the signal to tame hot outputs from a mixing console or mic preamp.

The input of the LX-2 features a XLR/TRS combo jack, which allows you to connect balanced or unbalanced line level signals to be split to two different destinations. A premium Jensen® transformer JT-11-FLPC inside provides exceptional frequency response and phase coherency to ensure that the highest audio quality is maintained, while isolating the two outputs from each other to eliminate hum and buzz from ground loops. Ground lift switches on each of the two XLR outputs help to further reduce noise from ground loops. For situations where a level adjustment is required, the trim control on the LX-2 allows you to attenuate overly hot signals. This lets you drive your mic preamps hard to achieve coloration, while trimming the level at the LX-2 to avoid clipping the inputs of your recording interface. This trim control is activated by a recessed ‘set & forget’ switch; for live use or in situations where attenuation is not needed, simply disengage this switch to prevent accidental and unwanted level adjustments.

The LX-2 is built with 14-gauge steel to ensure it continues to reliably perform night after night even on the most demanding tours, while a book-end design protects the connectors and switches. Rigid I-beam construction prevents the circuit board from being torqued, eliminating the possibility of damaged connections. The LX-2 has a compact footprint, with the added benefit of allowing up to 8 units to be rack-mounted using the Radial J-Rak™.

The Radial LX-2 is an uncompromising problem solver for your audio toolkit, providing Jensen® transformer-isolated line level splitting and attenuation in a compact and rugged device.

INPUT PANEL

1. -30dB PAD Allows line-level sources to connect to the JS•2’s input.
2. Mic input For low impedance microphone level signals.
3. Direct-1 thru 600 ohm miclevel direct output will pass phantom power to microphone.
4. Bookend design 14 gauge steel outer shell creates protective zone around connectors and switches.
5. Full-bottom no-slip pad This provides electrical isolation and plenty of "stay-put" friction to keep the JS•2 in one place.

OUTPUT PANEL

6. Direct-2 thru Duplicate 600 ohm mic-level direct output.
7. Ground lift (Direct-2 thru) Lifts the ground pin-1 on then direct-2 thru XLR connector.
8. Isolated output 600 ohm miclevel transformer-isolated.
9. Ground lift (Isolated output) Lifts the ground pin-1 on the isolated output XLR connector.
