Operator Safety Instructions
• Read these instructions
• Keep these instructions
• Heed all warnings
• Follow all instructions
• Clean only with dry cloth
• Use only accessories and attach-
ments specified by the manufac-
turer.
• Unplug this apparatus during light-
ning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
• This apparatus shall not be
exposed to dripping or splashing
and objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, shall not be placed on the
apparatus.
Power Source. This product is
intended to operate from a Lucid PS-3,
PS-3E, or PS-3J power supply only.
Grounding. The chassis of this product
is grounded through the grounding con-
ductor of the PS-3, PS-3E, or PS-3J
power cord. To avoid electric shock, plug
the power cord into a properly wired
receptacle before making any connec-
tions to the product. A protective ground
connection, by way of the grounding
conductor in the power cord, is essential
for safe operation. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding plug.
The three-pronged grounded plug is pro-
vided for your safety. When the provided
plug does not fit your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obso-
lete outlet.
Danger from Loss of Ground. If the
protective ground connection is lost, all
accessible conductive parts, including
knobs and controls that may appear to
be insulated, can render an electric
shock.
Proper Power Cord. Use only the
power cord and connector specified for
the product and your operating locale.
Use only a cord that is in good condition.
Protect the power cord from being
walked on or pinched, particularly at the
plug, convenience receptacle, and the
point where the cord exits from the
apparatus.
Operating Location. Do not operate
this equipment under any of the follow-
ing conditions: explosive atmospheres,
in wet locations, in inclement weather,
improper or unknown AC mains voltage,
or if improperly fused. Do not install near
any heat source such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Unplug this device during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
Stay Out of the Box. To avoid personal
injury, do not remove the product covers
or panels. Do not operate the product
without the covers and panels properly
installed. Only use accessories specified
by the manufacturer. Clean only with a
dry cloth.
User-Serviceable Parts. There are no
user serviceable parts inside any of
these Lucid products. In case of failure,
refer all servicing to the factory. Servic-
ing is required when the product has
been damaged in any way, such as
when a power supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain
or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.
CAUTION
To prevent electric shock, do not use
the polarized plug supplied with the
unit with any extension cord, recepta-
cle, or other outlet unless the prongs
can be fully inserted.

AESx4 

Distribution Amplifier
Description
The AESx4 is used to distribute AES3 (2-channel digital audio)
or AES11 (digital audio clock) between equipment using stan-
dard 3-pin XLR connectors. A switch on the front panel allows
you to select between a word clock and an AES input. When
the AES input is selected, either AES3 or AES11 can be buff-
ered then distributed to the outputs. When the WORD CLOCK
input is selected only, AES11 is generated based on the sample
rate of the word clock.
Switches
The AESx4 has one switch placed on the front panel that
selects either the WORD CLOCK or AES input.
LEDS
SIGNAL PRESENT: In AES mode, the signal present detector
drives an LED when there is activity on the AES input. In word
clock mode, the signal present detector is driven only when the
WORD CLOCK input is valid.
POWER LED indicates AC power is present.
Connectors
WORD CLOCK Input: Is a coaxial BNC connector with nominal
input impedance of 75 Ohms. Internal termination is provided
with a jumper.
AES Input: Is a 3-pin XLR connector with nominal input imped-
ance of 110 Ohms. Internal termination is provided, as per the
AES3 spec. The data can be either AES3 or AES11 (AES3 with
no audio data).
POWER: Supplied by external Lucid PS-3, PS-3E, or PS-3J.
AES Outputs: Are 3-pin XLR connectors with nominal imped-
ance of 110 Ohms.
Jumper Settings
·J1 is used to control the AES input pin 1 ground. The default
setting connects pin 1 of the connector straight to chassis
ground. The other position BYPASS has a capacitor between
pin 1 and chassis ground.
·J4 with positions HIGH or LOW determines the WORD CLOCK
input range. The HIGH range (default) accepts word clock fre-
quencies between 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz whereas the LOW range
accepts word clock frequencies between 32 kHz to 48 kHz.
·J6 sets the WORD CLOCK input to either TERMINATED or
OPEN (default). If the jumper is set to TERMINATED, the
driver's source impedance should be 75 Ohms to match the
AESx4's BNC input impedance.

trical signals, with nominal impedances of 75 Ohms. The S/
PDIF INPUT provides internal termination of this signal, as per
the S/PDIF (IEC958) spec.
POWER: Supplied by external Lucid PS-3, PS-3E, or PS-3J.
S/PDIF OUTPUTS are standard RCA connectors with nominal-
impedance of 75 Ohms.

ance of 110 Ohms.
TOSLINK Outputs: Are optical and designed to run over plastic
optical cable up to approximately 30 feet.
Jumper Settings

ting connects the shield of the connector straight to chassis
ground. The other setting, BYPASS, has a capacitor between
the shield and chassis ground.

Where to Get Service
If outside of the USA
If it has been determined that your Lucid product requires repair
services and you live outside of the United States, please con-
tact your local Lucid dealer or distributor for instructions on how
to obtain service.
If inside the USA
Lucid will perform in-warranty or out-of-warranty service on any
product it has manufactured for a period of three years from
date of manufacture. If you reside in the USA, then proceed as
follows:
In-Warranty Repairs
Repairs made in-warranty will cost you only one-way freight
charges. We’ll prepay the return (surface) freight. Of course, if
the repair is due to operator error, parts and labor will be
charged. If there are charges for the repair costs, you will pay
for the return freight. All charges will be COD unless you have
made other arrangements (prepaid, Visa, or MasterCard).
Out-of-Warranty Repairs
If the warranty period has passed, you’ll be billed for all neces-
sary parts, labor, packaging materials, and freight charges.
