LAiV Harmony LExt IN2 Input Expansion Module
430,00 €
The LAiV Harmony LExt IN2 is an input expansion module for the LAiV Harmony HP2A preamplifier and headphone amplifier. It adds a balanced stereo XLR input and an unbalanced stereo RCA input, allowing more analogue line-level sources to be connected to the HP2A. The supplied LE-LINK cable connects the module to the HP2A, while a separate XLR or RCA interconnect is required for the source. One LExt module can be used at a time.
LAiV Harmony LExt IN2 is an analogue input expansion module designed for the LAiV Harmony HP2A. It adds one balanced stereo XLR input and one unbalanced stereo RCA input to the HP2A.
The module allows sources with different analogue outputs to be connected to the system. These may include a CD player, network player or another line-level device. The LExt IN2 is not a standalone preamplifier or headphone amplifier. It performs its intended function only when connected to the HP2A.
Who is this module for?
The LExt IN2 is suitable for an HP2A owner who needs additional analogue inputs. The right module depends on the outputs provided by the source equipment. It is particularly useful in systems containing devices with a mixture of XLR and RCA connections.
Only one LExt module can be connected to the HP2A at a time. When choosing between the IN2 and the LExt phono input module, consider which type of source takes priority. The IN2 is intended for additional line-level sources.
Choosing between the XLR and RCA inputs
Use the balanced stereo XLR input with a source that provides a balanced analogue output. The specified maximum signal level for this input is 16 Vrms. The output level of the connected source must not exceed this limit.
The unbalanced stereo RCA input is intended for equipment with an unbalanced analogue output. Its specified maximum input level is 8 Vrms. Choose the input according to both the analogue output type and the signal level of your source.
These figures describe the limits of the input signal that the module can accept. They are not amplifier power ratings or indications of listening volume. Before connecting a source, check its technical documentation for the analogue output level.
Connecting the module to the HP2A
The module connects to the HP2A through one proprietary LE-LINK connection. The required LE-LINK cable is included. This cable is intended solely to connect the module to the HP2A.
The LE-LINK cable does not replace the interconnect between the source and the module. A separate stereo XLR or RCA interconnect is required for the source. The appropriate cable depends on the analogue output you intend to use.
System placement and finish
The enclosure measures 138 × 70 × 40 mm, excluding the connectors. When planning the installation, allow additional space for the LE-LINK, XLR and RCA plugs. The cables should also have enough room to bend naturally without being strained.
The module weighs 450 g and is available with a black or silver finish, allowing its appearance to be matched to the Harmony HP2A in the system.
What is included?
The package contains one LAiV Harmony LExt IN2 module and one LE-LINK cable. XLR and RCA interconnects are not included. Select the required interconnect separately according to the source output and the cable length needed for your installation.

FAQ
Can the module operate without the Harmony HP2A?
No. It is not a standalone preamplifier or headphone amplifier. It is designed to increase the number of analogue line inputs available on the HP2A.
Which input should I use for a particular audio source?
Choose XLR for a source with a balanced analogue output. Use RCA with an unbalanced analogue output. You should also check the output signal level specified for the source.
Can I connect a source using the supplied cable?
No. The included cable connects the module to the HP2A. A separate XLR or RCA interconnect is required to connect an audio source.
Can another LExt module be used at the same time?
No. The HP2A accepts one LExt module at a time. Choose the module according to the connections used by your most important or most frequently used sources.
How much space should I allow for the module?
The enclosure dimensions do not include connected plugs. Leave space behind the module for all three connector types and for the cables to form relaxed, strain-free bends.
