Getting started
To use your Express LPC successfully, please follow the installation and
operation instructions contained in this QuickGuide. In many places, these
instructions rely upon additional information in the Express User Manual,
which is supplied with the LPC. Shows to run in the Express LPC may be
created in the console or in Expression Off-Line, a software program that
emulates the programming capabilities of Expression-family consoles
Following are the items contained in an LPC shipping package. The items
marked with an asterisk (*) are not needed for all mounting positions. If
anything is missing, or if you have questions about the installation or
operation of the Express LPC, please call your dealer or ETC Technical
Services at one of the offices listed on the back page of this document.

Mounting the LPC
The LPC may be used without brackets securing it if the surface is
sufficiently level and steady. All you need to do is attach the four rubber
feet with the 4-40 x 3/8” screws, all provided with the LPC.
Do not locate the LPC closer than six feet to dimmers or high-current AC
lines to avoid electromagnetic interference.
If you need to mount the LPC for stability or for operating convenience,
hardware is supplied for each of the four mounting orientations listed
below. The procedure to use for each mounting orientation is given next.
• In a 19” rack
• Secured below a horizontal surface, such as a desk or shelf
• Secured to the top of a horizontal surface
• Secured to a vertical surface
