CLX-52 Compressor/Limiter
A great deal of time was spent developing a wide-bandwidth, ultra-low-distortion, low noise
VCA (voltage controlled amplifier). The result is the CLX-52, a versatile and highly
listenable compressor/limiter suitable for use in professional sound reinforcement, recording
and broadcasting.
The CLX-52 has three different connector types:
1/4” inch stereo TRS jacks
Three pin XLR type connectors
Euroblocks
These three connectors facilitate interfacing to most professional audio products. Both
inputs and outputs can be used balanced or unbalanced.
Connectors & Cables
Your CLX-52 Compressor/Limiter is provided with three different connector types:
1. 1/4 inch stereo phone jacks (TRS)
2. Three pin XLR type connectors
3. Euroblock Connector
When possible, balanced connections are recommend between all components in your
system, as this eliminates ground-loop induced hum and noise.
CLX Connector Polarities
Unbalanced Connections and Grounding
If you must use unbalanced connectors, the negative lead of the connector should be tied to
the ground lead. Using unbalanced connections could result in chassis ground-loop noise.
Altering the signal/chassis ground relationship in equipment connected to your CLX unit
may eliminate the noise.
