Speck Electronics LiLo - Manual (Page 15)

Chapter 2 Installation & Setup 11
Due to the high performance of the LiLo, it is recommended that you use only
the highest quality audio cable. A high quality cable by definition is a cable
that provides good mechanical strength, high microphonic noise immunity,
high frequency response, low crosstalk, and 100% shielding ability. All audio
cable used with the LiLo should be a 3 conductor foil shield type (2 inner
conductors and a shield drain conductor). It is not recommended that the 2
conductor "off the shelf cables" be used.
All wire and cable interfaced to the LiLo should be terminated with high
quality connectors. A ¼" plug or XL connector should make a positive
connection to its respective mating jack and provide adequate strain relief to
its cable. All connectors should also have a metal shell to provide 100%
shield for exposed conductors.
Removing the Input Module
To remove an input module for maintenance, remove the Philips screws at the
top and bottom of the module. Carefully pull the input module straight up by
holding the knobs. Once the module is clear of the main chassis, remove the
ribbon cable at the rear of the module by releasing the ejector tabs, and then
remove the larger ribbon cable at the bottom. To re-install the module just
reverse the procedure being certain than the ribbon connectors have been
inserted completely into the receptacles and that the ejector tabs “snap” back
into position.
Removing the Master Module
Before removing the master module, it is recommended that some kind of
protective material is laid over the input modules adjacent to the master
module. A small towel would work fine.
To remove the master module, remove the Phillips screws (4) at the top and
bottom of the module. The module will need to be lifted up and the front tilted
up slightly until the module completely clears the main chassis. Once the
module is clear of the chassis, lay the module on its side. Remove the (6)
ribbon cables that are identified “A through E” by releasing the ejector tabs.
Next, remove the (2) larger ribbon cable connectors at the bottom of each
circuit board.
To re-install the module just reverse the procedure being certain that the
ribbon connectors have been inserted completely into the receptacles and that
the ejector tabs “snap” back into position. All cables are labeled to match the
label on the module's receptacles.
Removing Modules
for Service
Always turn the power supply “off” and disconnect
the DC power cable before servicing the LiLo mixer.
