Featuring low noise, high dynamic range, and flat frequency response, the LX-3 will not compromise signal quality.
For live sound, the LX-3 can split a mixer output to a PA, a primary multitrack recorder, and a backup multitrack recorder. In the studio, use it to split the output of a microphone preamp. Then, record one split with compression, one without compression, and one with tape saturation.
Easily compare hardware compressors by routing the LX-3's outputs to multiple compressors. Manage extreme levels with the input pad, offering 12 dB of attenuation. It is equally well-suited for live and in-the-studio productions, with its 14-gauge steel enclosure and no-slip pad.
For installation in 500 Series racks, J-Rak 4 and J-Rak 8 rackmount adapters are available separately. The LX-3 requires no power supply, due to its passive circuitry. Balanced or unbalanced signals can be used.
Input connectivity is available using a combo jack, compatible with XLR or 1/4” input sources. XLR connectors are used for all outputs, the direct “Thru” jack and the two transformer-isolated outputs. Each output features a ground-lift switch, to minimize hum and buzz caused by ground loops.
