Lexicon IO22 [13/28] Microphones

Connecting the IO 22

Microphones

Plug an XLR cable directly from a microphone into the desired Mic/Inst

input on the IO 22 rear panel.

If your microphone requires phantom power, first make sure the microphone

is connected, then press the +48V button/LED for the corresponding input

pair on the rear panel. If your mics don’t need phantom power, it is best to

leave it off.

Note: Some microphones can be damaged by +48V phantom power.

Consult your microphone's documentation before enabling +48V phantom

power.

Line Level Sources

Line level sources include keyboards, drum machines, CD players, and

external microphone preamps, effects and guitar processors. Plug a 1/4" TS

(unbalanced) or TRS (balanced) cable directly from the line level source into

the desired Mic/Inst input on the IO 22 rear panel. For the best noise rejec-

tion, use balanced cables when connecting to balanced line level sources.

Instruments

The Instrument jack on the right side panel accepts signals from instruments

like electric guitars and basses. Plug a standard unbalanced 1/4" TS (instru-

ment) cable directly from the instrument into the Instrument input jack on

the right side panel of the IO 22. Note that when the Instrument input is

connected, the Mic/Line 1 input is disabled.

Computer/Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)

Connect your computer's USB port to the USB port on the IO 22 rear

panel using a standard USB cable (included).

Headphones

Connect headphones to the Headphone jack located on the left side panel.

The Headphone jack accepts 1⁄4" TRS connectors. Adjust headphone vol-

ume with the Phones Level knob.

Monitor Speakers

Using ¼" cables, connect the L/R Main Output jacks on the rear panel to

the appropriate inputs on your mixer, power amp, or powered monitors.

Adjust the output volume with the Output Level knob. When connecting to

other balanced equipment, use balanced cables for best performance.
