During this one year period, Axess Electronics will make any necessary repairs without charge for parts and labor. However, shipping charges to and from the repair location must be paid by the owner. [. . . ] It is capable of Normally Open (TIP ­ SLEEVE) or Normally Closed (RING ­ SLEEVE) Latched or Momentary type switching to control amplifiers and/or other devices that have a footswitchable function. It can also be used as a switchable audio mute when used with a cable that has a ¼" stereo TRS plug on one end and two ¼" mono TS plugs on the other end. . . TIP = Input RING = Output SLEEVE = Ground (see diagrams page for details. . . ) CTL2 Control Function Jack ­ standard ¼" stereo TRS jack, isolated using a relay to prevent Ground Loop Hum/Noise from occurring. This CTL jack/function responds to the same MIDI Control Change message as the CTL2 jack/function on the front panel, but they are totally isolated from one another and the rest of the RX1. It is capable of Normally Open (TIP ­ SLEEVE) or Normally Closed (RING ­ SLEEVE) Latched or Momentary type switching to control amplifiers and/or other devices that have a footswitchable function. It can also be used as a switchable audio mute when used with a cable that has a ¼" stereo TRS plug on one end and two ¼" mono TS plugs on the other end. . . TIP = Input RING = Output SLEEVE = Ground (see diagrams page for details. . . ) -7- IN1 Jack ­ standard ¼" mono TS jack that provides an audio signal to Loops 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. This input feeds a low noise, sonically transparent, instrument and line level buffer (factory set for unity gain). Please refer to the Internal Adjustments section of this User Manual for information on how to deactivate the buffer or adjust it's gain level. SND1 & RTN1 Jacks ­ standard ¼" mono TS jacks. If using this loop (and/or 2, 3, 4 and 5) as series bypass loops, connect the SND to the effect input and the RTN to the effect output. If using this loop (and/or 2, 3, 4 and 5) as a switchable splitter, connect the SND to the effect input and leave the RTN unconnected ­ this will allow the signal feeding IN1 to pass through to the remaining loops in the chain as well as the TIP of the INSRT jack. SND2 / 3 / 4 / 5 & RTN2 / 3 / 4 / 5 Jacks ­ same as SND1 & RTN1. INSRT Jack ­ standard ¼" stereo TRS jack that provides an audio signal from the chain of Loops 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 on the TIP and an input to feed the circuitry responsible for the switchable amplifier outputs (OUTA & OUTB) on the RING, thus it's an INSeRT jack. . . SND10 & RTN10 Jacks ­ same as SND9 & RTN9. OUT10 Jack ­ standard ¼" mono TS jack that provides an audio signal from the chain of Loops 9 and 10. Loops 9 and 10 can also be used as a guitar/wireless (3-to-1) signal selector. Connect three guitars to IN9, RTN9 and RTN10 (leave the SND's unconnected). When Loops 9 and 10 are off the guitar signal feeding IN9 will pass through to the OUT10 jack. Turning Loop 9 or Loop 10 on, will deselect the guitar connected to IN9 and allow the guitar signal feeding RTN9 (when Loop 9 is on) or RTN10 (when Loop 10 is on) to pass through to the OUT10 jack. . . -8- FT Feed Through Jacks ­ four standard ¼" stereo TRS jacks, isolated to prevent Ground Loop Hum/Noise and shielded to prevent EMI/RFI from occurring. These jacks allow for audio and/or control signals to be patched from the front and back on the RX1. Please note that even though we have done our best to ensure these feed through jacks will work for all applications, there may still be some that cannot make use of them. . . [. . . ] When the switch is in the OUT position the isolation transformer is off/bypassed and when the switch is in the IN position the isolation transformer is on/inline. - 10 - Control Function & INSRT Cable Diagrams (8) FRONT PANEL NORMALLY OPEN SW ITCHING FUNCTIONS (4) FRONT PANEL NORMALLY CLOSED SW ITCHING FUNCTIONS PRI SW.
