Introduction
Congratulation on your purchase of LSR6300 Studio Monitors. All LSR6300 models incorporate proprietary and patented JBL transducer
and network technologies., to provide ultra-accurate response, and exceptional SPL capability. Because production rooms are acousti-
cally less-than-perfect, JBL has incoporated technologies in the LSR6300 Studio Monitors to overcome problems in the room. The
result: clear accurate sound at the listening position in any room.
LSR6300 Features to Overcome the Problems in the Room
LSR - Linear Spatial Reference Technology
JBL developed Linear Spatial Reference Technology to improve mid and high frequency accuracy at the listening position where reflect-
ed sound comes into play. By meeting frequency response criteria for seventy-two off-axis measurements, the LSR6300 Studio
Monitors ensure that not just the direct sound, but the reflected sound that reaches you at the listening position is also smooth and
accurate.
RMC™ - Room Mode Correction
The LSR6328P and LSR6312SP Subwoofer are equipped with RMC - JBL’s method of zeroing out bass problems at the listening posi-
tion caused by room modes. The LSR6332 Studio Monitor and other speakers enjoy the benefits of RMC when used in a system with
the LSR6312SP Subwoofer. The RMC Calibration Kit* gives you everything you need to tune your LSR system and compensate for the
room modes in the listening environment.
*Included with the LSR6312SP, Optional accessory for the LSR6328P
Boundary Compensation
LSR6328P and LSR6312SP boundary compensation presets restore accurate bass response when the loudspeakers are wall mounted
or positioned close to walls, corners and placed on work surfaces.
Mounting Options
LSR6300 enclosures are reinforced to make them safe for mounting and mounting points are provided for use with readily available,
industry-standard mounting brackets.
®
THX pm3™
®
All LSR6300 models are THX pm3™ approved for use in the most demanding production applications and environments.
JBL Transducer Technologies
®
Differential Drive
New voice coils and motor assemblies have two separate drive coils with twice the thermal surface area of traditional speakers. This
enables LSR6300 systems to provide higher peak output with less power compression, greater heat dissipation and a flatter impedance
curve at higher frequencies. By reducing the thermal related effects, the LSR6300 Studio Monitors sound the same at low, medium or
high levels.
Linear Dynamics Aperture™
Contoured ports virtually eliminate high-end turbulence found in traditional port designs. This provides more accurate low frequency
performance at higher output levels.
Dynamic Braking
All LSR6300 low frequency transducers are equipped with an electromagnetic braking voice coil to reduce the effects of extreme excur-
sion with high transient program materials.
Titanium Composite High-Frequency Device
Using patented technology, the high frequency device incorporates titanium and composite materials to improve transient response and
reduce distortion. By reducing distortion in the lower operating range, where the ear is most sensitive, ear fatigue is radically reduced.
Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) Waveguide
Designed for a targeted listening window of 30º horizontally and 15º vertically, the EOS waveguide provides a frequency response
through the entire window of 1.5 dB from on-axis response. This allows listeners at a distance from the speakers and even far off-axis
to hear an accurate representation of the on-axis response.
Neodymium Midrange with Kevlar™ Cone
A 2” neodymium motor structure is used in the LSR6332 for high excursion capability with an intentionally low crossover point of 250
Hz. This improves the spatial response of the system, which is crucial for accurate reproduction.

Getting Started
Unpacking:
When removing the systems from their packaging, it is important not to grasp the units from the front. Because the high frequency
device is located near the top of the cabinet on the front baffle, a stray hand or finger can cause damage. The best way to safely
unpack your monitors is to open the top of the box, keep the cardboard filler piece on, and roll the box upside down. The box can then
be slipped off. This also works in reverse for repacking the units.
Placement:
The design of the LSR6300 systems lend themselves to a wide variety of placement options. Covered here is a typical stereo setup for
near to mid field monitoring. A more detailed discussion of multi-channel sound system placement is available from JBL in Tech Note
Volume 3, Number 3.
Listening Distance: The common listening position at mixing postions is generally 1 to 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet) for near field applications.
For mid-field applications, 2 to 3 meters is more likely. The stereo listening angle is largely a matter of personal preference, and we
suggest the angle of the loudspeakers should be between 35 and 50 degrees, as shown in Figure A.
Figure A
35-50˚
35-50˚
35-50˚
Vertical vs. Horizontal Placement: The LSR6328P model is designed to be positioned vertically. This orientation eliminates the phase
shifts that occur when the relative distances between the woofer, tweeter and the listening position are altered. The high frequency
waveguide is designed to provide optimum dispersion when the system is placed vertically. Placing the system horizontally will defeat
the LSR principles and cause destructive reflection off the work surface.
The LSR6332 is normally used in the horizontal position. This provides the lowest elevation to maximize sight lines and reduce shadow-
ing of soffit mount monitors. In applications where vertical orientation is desired, the entire mid and high assembly can be rotated 90°
to a vertical line array position, as shown below in Figure B:
Figure B
5
Getting Started
The LSR6312SP can be placed in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. More important than orientation is the physical position in
the room.
Angling toward the listening position: The LSR6300-Series monitors should be angled to directly face the listener. The center of the high
frequency transducer should be on-axis with the ear level of the listener. Ideally, full-range speakers should be placed on suitable
speaker stands away from boundaries. The LSR6312SP Subwoofer can be located on the floor with its woofer cone on the same plane
as the woofer cones of the full-range speakers. Alternately, the Subwoofer performance can benefit from placement close to a wall or
corner. LSR6328P and LSR6312SP models include Boundary Compensation settings when speakers are placed in close proximity to
walls, corners and work surfaces.
Audio Connections
Refer to individual model-specific instructions.
Power Connections
The LSR6328P can be used with multiple AC supply voltages around the world. It will automatically adjust for operation from 100 to
240 VAC with no intervention by the user. The ground terminal of the IEC plug is required by wiring codes and regulations. It must
always be connected to the electrical installation safety ground. The LSR6300-Series units have carefully designed internal grounding
and balanced inputs and outputs to reduce the possibility of ground loops (hum). If hum occurs, see Appendix B for suggested audio
signal wiring, system grounding hints and other preventive measures. The LSR6312SP is set at the factory for use with either 100V-
125V or 200V-250V. Voltage is not field selectable.
Making Sound
After connections are made, the next step is to power up all equipment before powering up active LSR6300 speakers and external
amplifiers. Reduce the level of the monitor outputs of your console or preamp to minimum and turn on the powered speakers and the
amplifiers. There is a small delay with the power-up of the LSR6328P and LSR6312SP to accommodate for clicks and thumps from
upstream equipment. When the Green LED on the front panel turns on, the units are ready to go. Slowly advance the gain of the console
to feed the monitoring system to suitable listening level, and enjoy.

LSR6328P Biamplified Studio Monitor System
The LSR6328P Bi-amplified Studio Monitor sets the standard for exceptional performance in near field design.
With a combination of advanced transducer engineering and powerful drive electronics, the LSR6328P meets the
professional’s requirement for accuracy and high dynamic range on the most demanding sessions.
The addition of JBL RMC™ Room Mode Correction circuit and boundary compesnation ensures accurate low fre-
quency response at the listening position, free of the spectral shift caused by room modes and the effect of
boundaries.
®
The 8" woofer is based on JBL's patented Differential Drive technology. With dual 1.5" drive coils, power compression is kept to a
minimum to reduce spectral shift as power levels increase. An added third coil between the drive coils acts as a dynamic brake to limit
excess excursion and reduces audible distortion at maximum levels. The cone is made of a carbon fiber composite forming a rigid pis-
ton and is supported by a soft butyl rubber surround.
The high frequency device is a 1" composite diaphragm integrated with an Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) Waveguide with 100° by
60° dispersion, which is critical to the smooth spatial response required in today's working environments. The magnetically sheilding of
the HF transducer reduces interference when used in close proximity to CRT video and computer monitors. This custom power supply
eliminates all tonal-artifacts produced by the speaker when idling.
Audio Connections
LSR6328P Audio Connections: The LSR6328P comes with a Neutrik "Combi" connector that accommodates either an XLR or 1/4" con-
nector in either balanced or unbalanced configurations. The system has switchable input sensitivity: +4 dBu, +8 dBu, and -10 dBV.
These sensitivities are determined by adjusting the DIP switches according to the legend shown in Figure C. When the sensitivity is set
for, say, +4 dBu, an input signal equal to +4 dBu will produce a system output level of 96 dB SPL at a distance of one meter. Likewise,
settings of +8 dBu and -10 dBV will cause those input levels to attain the output acoustic level of 96 dB SPL.
An additional switch allows user-adjustable input sensitivity via a screwdriver control on the back panel. See Section 4 for additional
information on level control and gain matching. Positive voltage to Pin 2 of the XLR or the tip of the 1/4" jack will produce a forward
motion in the low frequency cone. Shown below in Figures C and D are views of the rear electronics panel on the LSR6328P and a sig-
nal flow diagram for the system. We recommend that you study these drawings in detail.

LSR6328P Biamplified Studio Monitor System
AC Power Connections
The LSR6328P can accommodate power from 100 to 250 VAC 50/60 Hz by way of an autosensing power supply. This requires no atten-
tion on the part of the user.
The ground terminal of the IEC plug is required by wiring codes and regulations. It must always be connected to the electrical installa-
tion safety ground. The LSR6300 Series models have carefully designed internal grounding and balanced inputs and outputs to reduce
the possibility of ground loops (hum). If hum or buzz occur, see Appendix A for suggested correct audio signal wiring and system
grounding.
Audio Level Adjustment
The audio level sensitivity of the LSR6328P can be adjusted for almost any situation. Monitor outputs of consoles and work stations are
normally at a nominal level of +4 dBu or -10 dBV.
The LSR6328P can be set up for fixed or variable gain. As shipped from the factory, a nominal signal input of -10 dBV (0.3 volts) will
produce an output of 94 dB SPL at 1 meter in an anechoic environment. This allows the user to get a good match when using either
professional or semiprofessional equipment. Using the DIP switches on the back as shown below in Figure E, the system can be set for
+4 dBu, +8 dBu or +12 dBu sensitivity.
Switch 1 enables the Trim Control. With the switch in the down position, the Trim Control is out of the circuit and does not affect the
input sensitivity. In the up position, the input trim is added to the circuit and will attenuate the input level from 0 - 13 dB relative to
nominal.
• Switch 2 lowers the input sensitivity to +4 dBu sensitivity when in the up position.
• Switch 3 lowers the input sensitivity to +8 dBu sensitivity when in the up position.
• Switches 2 and 3 in the up position lower input sensitivity to +12 dBu.
Figure E
Low Frequency Adjustment
The low frequency response of the LSR6328P can be adjusted to increase or reduce the low frequency output level. With all bass
adjustment switches off, the unit is set to a 36 dB/octave roll-off with a maximally flat characteristic.
Switch 4 - VLF, Very Low Frequency Protect: Switch 4 changes the low frequency roll-off to a 24 dB/octave slope, which extends the low
frequency capability, while slightly reducing maximum sound pressure level. This is useful for spotting subsonic signals that could other-
wise go undetected. For example, extreme low frequency rumble will be visible as a pronounced "fluttering" motion of the woofer cone.
To protect the low frequency transducer, normally switch 4 is set to Off.

Boundary Compensation
Switch 5 introduces a low frequency shelf roll-off of -1.5 dB, while Switch 6 introduces a low frequency shelf rolloff of -3 dB. Engaging
both switches will produce a low frequency shelf rolloff of -4.5 dB. These functions are known as Boundary Compensation and are used
to adjust for the build-up of low frequencies that accompany the placement of loudspeakers near walls or corners, or work surfaces.
The changes in low frequency response using Switches 4, 5, and 6 are shown in Figure F.

LED Indication
A single LED indicator is located on the front of the LSR 6328P. In normal operation, this LED will be GREEN. At the onset of clipping in
either the low or high frequency amplifier, the LED will flash RED. Continuous flashing of the red LED indicates that levels should be
reduced. Caution: The LSR6328P is capable of producing extremely high sound pressure levels. To avoid hearing damage, caution
should be exercised.
RMC Equalization
There are three screwdriver adjustable controls on the rear panel of the 6328P indicated RMC. The term RMC stands for Room Mode
Correction, which consists of a single section cut-only parametric equalizer that can be adjusted in frequency, width (Q) of cut, and the
amount of cut. It is used to reduce the magnitude of any dominant low frequency peak in response due to standing waves at the listen-
ing position. Details of Room Mode Correction are presented in the user guide included with the RMC Calibration Kit.

LSR6332 Studio Monitor System
The LSR6332 Linear Spatial Reference Studio Monitor combines JBL's latest in transducer and technology
with recent breakthroughs in system design to provide a more accurate studio reference in a variety of pro-
duction environments.
The neodymium 12" woofer is based on JBL's patented Neodymium Differential Drive NDD™ technology. With
the Neodymium magnet structure and dual drive coils, power compression is kept to a minimum to reduce
spectral shift as power levels increase. An added third coil between the drive coils acts as a dynamic brake to
limit excess excursion and reduce audible distortion at the highest levels. The cone is made of a carbon fiber
composite forming a rigid piston supported by a soft butyl rubber surround.
The midrange is a 2" neodymium magnet structure with a woven 5" Kevlar cone. The powerful
motor structure was chosen to support the low crossover point to the woofer. In order to achieve the goal of accurate spatial response,
the crossover points are located at 250 Hz and 2.2 kHz. These transition points were chosen to match the directivity characteristics of
the three transducers.
The high frequency device is a 1" composite diaphragm integrated with an Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) Waveguide with 100° by
60° dispersion, which is critical to the smooth spatial response required in today's working environments. The mid and high frequency
drivers are mounted within millimeters of each other on a cast aluminum sub-baffle that can be rotated for horizontal or vertical place-
ment. This allows maximum flexibility in placement to reduce console and ceiling splash that interferes with imaging and depth.
The crossover filters are optimized to yield 4th-order (24 dB/octave) Linkwitz-Riley electroacoustic responses from each transducer (in
phase; -6 dB at crossover). In order to achieve optimal symmetrical response in the vertical plane, both magnitude and phase compen-
sation are implemented in the crossover network. The crossover network allows the user to adjust the high frequency level above 3
kHz. This allows the listener to compensate for effects of near-field or mid-field spectral balance or differing amounts of high frequency
absorption. Components used in the crossover are exclusively low-loss metal film capacitors; low distortion electrolytic capacitors; high-
Q, high saturation current inductors and high current sand cast power resistors. The mid and high frequency transducers are magneti-
cally shielded to reduce interference when used in close proximity to CRT video and computer monitors.
Audio Connections
The LSR6332 is equipped with two pairs of 5-way binding posts. The lower pair feeds the woofer and the top pair feeds the mid and
high frequency elements. The connectors are designed to accept up to 10 AWG bare wire. Spacing of the two input terminal pairs allows
use of standard Dual Banana jacks. The two pairs are normally connected together with metal shorting bars. This allows either pair to
be used in normal operation. Alternative cabling possibilities include passive bi-amping, or using both terminals to get more "copper"
from the amplifier to the speaker. Positive voltage to the "Red" (+) terminal will produce a forward motion at the low frequency cone.
High Frequency Adjustments
The LSR6332 High Frequency level can be adjusted to compensate for placement or for "bright" rooms. The unit is shipped in the "flat"
or 0 dB position. If the system sounds too bright in your room, or if you are working very close to the monitors (under 1-1.5 meters). the
response above 2 kHz can be reduced by approximately 1 dB, as shown in Figure H:
Figure H
0 dB
-1 dB
10
LSR6332 Studio Monitor System
This adjustment is accomplished via the barrier strip on the back of the enclosure located above the dual pair of 5-way binding posts.
Moving the link between the 0 and -1 dB positions will change the high frequency drive level. Please note that the loudspeaker should
be disconnected from the amplifier during this procedure for safety of the system.
Changing Mid/High Orientation
The LSR6332 is normally used in the horizontal position with the mid- and high-frequency elements toward the middle. This provides
the lowest elevation, maximizes sight lines and reduces shadowing effects of soffit mount monitors. In situations where vertical orienta-
tion is desired, the entire Mid/High sub-baffle can be rotated. There are both Left and Right models of the LSR6332 so that absolute
symmetry can be maintained in all orientations.
NOTE: The mid and high transducers can be easily damaged by screwdrivers carelessly handled. Even with efficient magnetic struc-
tures, there is always a small amount of leakage flux in the neighborhood of the voice coil gap, which will attract hand tools and any
nearby iron material. Dented cones or domes are not covered under warranty.
1. Place the LSR6332 on its back on a stable work surface.
2. Carefully remove the eight Allen (Hex) socket screws surrounding the Mid/High sub-baffle, and pull the unit out entirely.
3. Gently lift the baffle out enough to rotate the assembly. You can use your hand in the port to assist. Do not pull the unit out entirely.
This avoids unnecessary tension on the cabling assemblies.
4. Replace the eight screws and tighten. Again, take note to be VERY careful to guard against transducer damage.

LSR6312SP Powered Subwoofer System
The LSR6312SP Active Subwoofer consists of a Neodymium Differential Drive NDD™ 12"
neodymium woofer integrated with a powerful 260 watt continuous power output amplifier.
The active drive circuitry has been developed to maximize the acoustic output power while
maintaining overall low distortion and excellent transient performance. The enclosure is
manufactured with a molded baffle and rigidly braced MDF enclosure for low resonance and
minimal box loss. The Linear Dynamics Aperture (LDA) Port design minimizes port turbulence
and eliminates port compression.
Active crossover electronics supply 4th-order electroacoustic slopes to the low pass subwoofer transition to reduce the possibility of
audible localization of the subwoofer. This allows greater flexibility in placement for optimum operation in a wide variety of rooms. Since
low frequency energy supplied by the LSR6312SP is essentially omnidirectional, placement of the unit(s) is more dependent upon room
acoustics and interaction than localization issues.
The active electronics includes switchable high pass filters for the front satellite speakers. This option is used to filter low frequency
information from the front speakers and redirect this information to the subwoofer. This is usually the case when the front speakers
cannot reproduce extended low frequency information at the desired sound pressure level, or to optimize the low frequency perform-
ance of the system in the room. Alternatively, if the front channels are operated in full range, the bypass function can be enabled allow-
ing the subwoofer to be muted. The bypass function allows the LSR6312SP direct LFE input to remain active.
RMC Equalization
There are three screwdriver adjustable controls on the rear panel of the LSR6328P indicated RMC. The term RMC stands for Room
Mode Correction, which consists of a single section cut-only parametric equalizer that can be adjusted in frequency, width (Q) of cut,
and the amount of cut. It is used to reduce the magnitude of any dominant low frequency peak in response due to standing waves at
the listening position. Details of Room Mode Correction are presented in the user guide included with the RMC Claibration Kit.
Audio Connections
The LSR6312SP subwoofer contains both input and output XLR connectors for three channels, which are typically Left, Center and
Right. An additional direct input is included which is active at all times. It This allows routing for a separate signal directly to the input
electronics of the LSR6312SP, as well as the summed low frequency response of the Left, Center and Right inputs. The inputs are
shipped with a sensitivity of -10 dBV, but this can be changed +0, +4 dBu, +8 dBu or +12 dBu by moving a dip switches on the back of
the unit. A 12 dBu variable input trim can be switched in to calibrate input sensitivity to a precise setting. The outputs transmit either full
range or high-passed program information, depending on the mode of the subwoofer. The summed output transmits a sum of the L, C,
R and Direct input signals with no processing to allow chaining of multiple LSR6312SP subwoofers. Positive voltage to Pin 2 of the XLR
will produce a forward motion in the low frequency cone. Shown below in Figures I and J are views of the rear electronics panel on the
LSR6312SP and a signal flow diagram for the system. We recommend that you study these drawings in detail.

LSR6312SP Powered Subwoofer System
There are several ways to connect the LSR6312SP in a
monitoring system including stereo, multi-channel for-
mats such as Dolby ProLogic, AC-3, DTS, and others.
The bass management system in the LSR6312SP pro-
vides the flexibility to switch between configurations.
In a Stereo Configuration, it is typical to feed the
LSR6312SP with the left and right channels and take
the left and right outputs from the LSR6312SP and feed
them to the satellites. The high pass filters on the sub-
woofer outputs remove the low frequency signal below
85 Hz from the satellites. This signal is then redirected
to the subwoofer.
Summed
Out
The Dolby ProLogic format uses a similar connection
scheme to the one above. The left, center and right
channels route to the left, center and right inputs of the
LSR6312SP and through the respective outputs to the
satellites. Signals below 85 Hz are filtered out of the
satellites and sent to the subwoofer.
Other multichannel formats such as Dolby AC-3 and
DTS may include six discrete channels, left, center, right,
left surround, right surround and subwoofer. These are
termed 5.1 for the five main channels and the dedicated
"point-one" subwoofer channel, which is also called the
low frequency effects, or LFE channel. Not all program
material makes use of all channels, and mixing engi-
neers have the discretion to use - or not use - the
subwoofer channel.
plug
Figure J
The Left, Center and Right channels are routed to the respective LSR6312SP inputs and on to the front channel LCR speakers. The LFE
channel is sent directly to the Direct input of the LSR6312P. When not in bypass mode, the system operates as the stereo and Prologic
setups previously described. All subwoofer information is derived from the front channels and the Direct subwoofer input. When a con-
tact closure occurs, the high pass filtering is bypassed to the satellites and the satellites then receive the original full range signal. The
sub-woofer feed from the Direct LFE input remains active.

LSR6312SP Powered Studio Subwoofer System
AC Power Connections
The LSR6312SP power supply voltage is internally set at the factory for 100-125V or 200-250V. The ground terminal of the IEC plug is
required by wiring codes and regulations. It must always be connected to the electrical installation safety ground. The LSR6300 Series
electronic units have carefully designed internal grounding and balanced inputs and outputs to reduce the likelihood of ground loops.

Switch 1 enables the Input Trim pot. With the switch in the down position, the trim control is out

Low Frequency Adjustment
Switch 4 reverses the polarity of the LSR6312SP. At the crossover point between the subwoofer and satellite speakers, it is important
that all systems be in correct polarity. If the subwoofer and the satellite woofers are in the same vertical plane, the polarity should be
set to normal. If the subwoofer is not in the same plane as the satellites, the polarity may need to be reversed. To check this, put on a
recorded track that has a good amount of bass and switch between the two positions. The setting that produces the most bass should
be the one to use.
Boundary Compensation: The low frequency response of the LSR6312SP can be adjusted to compensate for placement near boundaries
in the room. Bass frequencies below 80 - 90 Hz are essentially omnidirectional. Positioning subwoofers in corners or against walls will
increase the in-room efficiency of the system allowing greater apparent output. Placing subwoofers against wall boundaries will also
reduce frequency response variations due to cancellation interference. The Bass Alignment switches compensate for subwoofer location
by adjusting the amount of low frequency power generated below 50 Hz.
Using a sound level meter, a technique that has been used successfully is to put the subwoofer in the listening position and move the
meter or yourself into possible subwoofer locations. Finding the positions with the greatest low frequency energy can quickly be found.
After you find a couple of possibilities, move the subwoofer into one of these locations and evaluate it.
• Switch 5 reduces the level below 50 Hz by 4 dB. This position is designed to offer maximally flat response when the LSR6312SP is
placed at the intersection of two boundaries such as a floor and wall.
• Switch 6 disengages the RMC function.
LCR Bypass: The 1/4" jack used for LCR bypass and discrete selection operates with a simple dry contact closure between the tip and
sleeve of the jack. This function can be controlled remotely by using a tip-sleeve plug and two conductor cables, and shorting the two
conductors together using a simple remote switch. The sleeve of this connector is tied to audio ground, so care should be taken to
avoid ground loops when using this option.

A multicolored LED indicator is located on the front of the LSR6312SP. In normal operation, this LED will be GREEN. When the
LSR6312SP is in Bypass mode, the LED will turn AMBER. This indicates that the high pass filters on the three LCR output are bypassed
and that the subwoofer feed is from the direct alone. At the onset of amplifier limiting the LED will flash RED. Continuous RED flashing
of this LED indicates that the levels should be reduced.
RMC Equalization
RMC Room Mode Correction is used to reduce the effects of unfriendly standing waves at the mix position. There are four screwdriver
adjustable controls on the rear panel of the LSR6312SP indicated RMC. These enable the width, frequency and depth adjustments to be
made when using RMC. The make-up gain control is used for making an overall adjustment for approximately equal loudness for com-
parisons with and without the RMC function. Details of operation are covered in the User Guide included in the RMC Calibration Kit.

Wiring Requirements
For optimum performance, some attention to wiring details now can reduce system degradation later. The cabling recommendations
given below follow standard wiring practice for differential inputs.
Balanced Sources: The best way to run your system is balanced, where both "HOT" (+) and "COLD" (-) signals are supplied from the
source along with a GROUND/SHIELD. These are typically carried on 2 conductor shielded cables with XLR connectors on both ends.
Alternatively, connectors with Tip, Ring and Sleeve (T/R/S) jacks can be used. Whenever possible, the cable shield should not be con-
nected to any signal pin, but left to perform a cable shielding function only. Note: Under no circumstances should the safety ground wire
be removed from the AC power connector.
When using balanced sources with the LSR6328P, either the XLR or T/R/S input of the Neutrik Combi connector can be used, since the
circuit is common to both. The difference between the two is that the T/R/S input is generally set for a nominal -10 dBV input and the
XLR input is generally set for +4 dBu.
For balanced signals, the HOT (+) signal from your source should be connected to the tip of the T/R/S connector or Pin 2 of the XLR
input as shown in Diagram A. The "COLD" (-) signal should be connected to Pin 3 of the XLR or the "Ring" of the T/R/S connector. To
avoid ground loops, connect the SHIELD at the source end but not at the LSR input.

Unbalanced Sources: When using unbalanced sources, there are more possibilities to introduce ground loops into a system. The
LSR6328P and LSR6312SP offer several ways to help alleviate potential problems with unbalanced equipment.
While there are only HOT and GROUND/SHIELD connections from

unbalanced sources, it is recommended that high quality twisted
pair cable be used. Diagram B shows an unbalanced source
connected to the balanced XLR input of the LSR monitor using
twisted pair cable. Note that the shield is connected to the
GROUND/SHIELD connector at the LSR input, but not at the
source. This reduces the likelihood of introducing a ground loop
into the system.

When using unbalanced signals with an LSR6328P, it is recom-
mended to use a 1/4" Tip/Ring/Sleeve connections. Diagram C shows when using the 1/4" Tip/Ring/Sleeve connection, the GROUND
should be tied to the source -- not the sleeve -- of the LSR input for optimum performance.

Diagram D details the connections using single conductor shielded cable with a Tip/Ring/Sleeve plug for the 6328P input. Single con-
ductor cable should be used as a last resort as it provides the greatest likelihood of problems. The "HOT" (+) signal should be connect-
ed to the tip of the Tip/Ring/Sleeve plug. The GROUND should be attached to the Ring of the Tip/Ring/Sleeve plug at the 6328P input.
