External Connections

The LynxTWO includes two break-out cables that provide connections for external
equipment. The L2Audio cable provides XLR connectors for analog audio signals.
The L2Sync cable provides XLR connectors for digital audio signals and female BNC
connectors for clock input and output.

Two bracket mounted D-connectors provide connection ports for the break-out cables:
the L2Audio Port is a 25-pin female D-connector and the L2Sync port is a high-density
15-pin female D-connector.

Referring to figure above, locate the L2Audio Port and the L2Sync Port on the mounting
bracket of the LynxTWO. Insert the L2Audio cable into the L2Audio Port and tighten
the thumb screws on the cable shell. Insert the L2Sync cable into the L2Sync Port and
tighten the thumb screws on the cable shell.

Use of both cables is not a requirement. If you will be using only the analog audio
capabilities of the LynxTWO, for example, there is no reason to connect the L2Sync
cable.

Analog Audio

For the LynxTWO A Model, the XLR connectors on the Audio Cable, labeled IN 1, IN
2, IN 3, IN 4, OUT 1, OUT 2, OUT 3 and OUT 4 are used to connect balanced and
unbalanced analog equipment to the analog inputs and outputs of the LynxTWO. The
LynxTWO B Model replaces IN 3 and IN 4 with OUT 5 and OUT 6. The LynxTWO
C Model replaces OUT 3 and OUT 4 with IN 5 and IN 6. Make connections to
professional consoles and other balanced equipment directly with these connectors.
Connect to balanced equipment with ¼” TRS jacks using XLR-to-TRS adapters such
as the Lynx CBL-XF2TM18 (female XLR) and the Lynx CBL-XM2TM18 (male XLR).
Connect to unbalanced consumer devices with RCA jacks using XLR-to-RCA adapters
such as the Lynx CBL-XF2RM18 (female XLR) and the Lynx CBL-XM2RM18 (male
XLR). Adapters with line transformers are not required. Refer to the “XLR Connector
Wiring and Adapters” section for information regarding XLR adapter construction.
