    Funk Tonstudiotechnik service personnel. If this device should be dropped or damaged, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified Funk Tonstudiotechnik service personnel. Do not attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Funk Tonstudiotechnik service personnel.
  • Page 4: Introduction

    Various devices can be connected using the LAP-2.V3 preamps, like Phono preamp, CD, CD-R, MiniDisc, DAT, iPod, sound card or DAB.
  • Page 5: Operation

    Now your amplifier need tot be repaired. If you damaged one input of the LAP-2.V3, the other 5 inputs will work continuing because the summing amplifier as whole will not stop working.

Headphone output : LAP-2.V3 features efficient stereo headphone amplifier for use with passive headphones. REC. L REC. L REC.
  • Page 7 The integrated headphone amplifier can work with both lo and high impedance headphones with 6,3 mm stereo jack. Headphones out is easily accessible on front panel of the device. The Headphone amplifier of the LAP-2.V3 can drive passive headphones with range of impedance from 8 ...10 k Ω...
  • Page 8 Why analog level control ? Passive analog level controller of LAP-2.V3 fundamentally does not have this problem. Also at lowest monitoring levels, as in the case described above, it is impossible to notice any significant limit to resolution. It depends in decisive degree, though, on amplifying path's after the level adjusting potentiometer.
  • Page 9 The LAP-2.V3 has typical frequency response of below 1Hz...1 MHz -3 dB. Therefore even very short impulses of signal with high amplitude will be cleanly reproduced and will not press the LAP-2.V3 to its speed limit. Thanks to very fast amplification stages the transient inter-modulation distortion is practically non existent.
  • Page 10: Audio Signal Quality

    LAP-2.V3 is equipped with very wide band amplification stages, which ensure exceptional and super stable reproduction of signals and its phase. This clearly proves the following measurements. LAP-2.V3 is driven at 0 dB gain (input signal voltage = output signal voltage) and the source signal is square wave impulse generator.

    The 6-th input will serve as monitor for any signal passed through connected external device. Example : if, let's say, a CD player connected to input 2 of LAP-2.V3 is to be monitored both dry and processed by the external device, then button 2 should be pressed for record path. This way CD player's signal will be fed to external device's input.
  • Page 13: Adjustable Record Path

    Below picture shows an example of connections for LAP-2.V3. Inputs 1...5 will be normally used as inputs for 5 devices. 6-th input is connected with monitor output signal. This additional signal path is shown in blue or purple.
  • Page 14 „Noise and hum loops“. 7.3 WIRING SUGGESTION The following picture next side presents an example of typical wiring for LAP-2.V3 and a stereo power amplifier or active speakers as well as 6 additional devices (only analog audio connections are shown). In this configuration copying each source onto each receiving (recording) device is possible.

  • Page 16 0 dB..+15 db. At factory the LAP-2.V3 is set at 0 dB gain. Fully counterclockwise position is roughly standard gain. To prevent damage to trimmer tip during turning, tip of the trimmer is blocked by groove. Setting trimmer above this position does not influence gain, but does not damages the trimmer.
  • Page 17 Output level of LAP-2.V3 and other amplifiers depends on used signal sources. Best suited are those devices giving such strength of signal that level knob of LAP-2.V3 at highest required volume settings stays between 12 and 3 o'clock position. If the high volume is reached earlier, we recommend matching levels in power amp or active speakers.
  • Page 18: Power Supply

    Phones are dependent on Volume. This LAP-2.V3 MR version is beneficial for use with level metering. So the meter will be connected to Record out and monitors all selected signals independent from volume control.
