user manual LMS-A6 INTRODUCTION The LMS-A6 is a versatile two input, six output, analogue loudspeaker management system in a 1U rack mount package that is designed for maximum sonic performance. It combines crossover and limiter functions and is uniquely configurable to custom requirements. The LMS-A6 can be configured for the following modes of operation: stereo 3-way, stereo 2-way, mono 4-way, plus mono 2-way. The standard filter provided for the LMS-A6 is a Linkwitz Riley response based on tw

user manual LMS-A6 SETTING UP AND OPERATING THE LMS-A6 This section describes the steps and checks to be taken when setting up the unit for the first time, and the operation of all the controls and indicators. Some of the custom operating parameters will have been set internally when unit left the factory. These are described in this section and you must check that these are appropriate for your system. Internal factory set parameters Check the supplied documentation to ensure these parameters a

user manual LMS-A6 Connecting inputs and outputs This section describes how to connect signals to the LMS-A6 loudspeaker management system. The signal inputs are industry standard female XLR connectors and are wired as follows:- Pin 1 = GROUND or COMMON Pin 2 = HOT or (+) or In-phase Pin 3 = COLD or (-) or Out of phase The electronically balanced inputs will take a maximum level of +20dBu at 10k ohm impedance. They will accept either balanced or unbalanced signals. The signal outputs are industr

user manual LMS-A6 Power On Standby Mode When power is first switched on the LMS-A6 enters STANDBY mode. In this mode all outputs are muted to suppress any noise or transients while the circuitry settles down. The POWER STDBY switch determines how the unit will behave after power is applied.: Switch down: The unit will stay in standby mode. All outputs will stay muted and the red STANDBY MUTE LED will light. The standby mode is cancelled by pressing any MUTE switch, or momentarily operating the

user manual LMS-A6 When this switch is up (on) the Left and Right Band 1 signals are summed together and fed in mono to both Band 1 outputs. When the switch is down the Left and Right Band 1 signals remain independent from each other. Level Trims Band 1 and Band 3 have independent gain trims for fine adjustment of the system frequency response. If the internal preset band gains have been specified correctly these controls will nominally all be set central at 0dB. The +/-6dB range should be more

user manual LMS-A6 restrict the full undistorted output of the amplifiers. Note that the actual output power available often depends on the mains supply voltage, which may ‘sag’ during heavy performances. In a system where the amplifiers are capable of exceeding the ratings of the speakers, set the threshold to a level appropriate to the speakers and NOT the clipping point of the amplifier. This is normally achieved by feeding the system with pink noise at the maximum level required and then tur
