Audio connection LXP-5

[batuco96]

Anybody has used the Lexicon LXP5 ? I'm trying one for first time, connected to a preamp effect loop and no signal from the unit... also tried connecting my bass to the lxp5 input, then from the output to preamp input... no signal also

Any idea?
HELP PLEASE....

I have sucessfully used the LXP5 in both ways- between bass and amp, and in the amp's loop. It worked fairly well both ways, but had lower noise levels when in the loop.

Maybe if you describe to us exactly how you've got it hooked up- including what kind of cables you're using (I mean the plug connectors, not the brand) and which outputs are going to which inputs?

Hi Bongomania... thanks for hear my call

I tried using the effect loop of an EBS MBII preamp... send to lxp5 input and lxp5 output to return on the preamp... using mono standards instrument plug

bass -> lxp5 input... lxp5 output -> preamp input... also using mono standard plug

Any idea ?

Have you gotten the LXP5 to work with any other rig? Maybe you could set it up with other gear to test that it actually works! Also I'd test the cables and the power supply to make sure they all work 100%.

thanks for your advising... I'll check the cables but think they are working
regarding the power supply, the unit specify 9V/1.5A... I'm using one of that multivoltage setted at 9V/1A...think it shouldn't be a problem
thanks again... I'll let you know after I try

Also be sure to check whether the power supply needs to be AC or DC.

1A < 1.5A

That's not necessarily your problem, because the specification could just mean that the unit's power supply is rated for up to 1.5A even though the unit only needs 1A, but it could be that the unit needs more than 1A.
