Simon Wheeler Previously a musician, engineer, producer, remixer and promoter, Simon has been with The Beggars Group since 1990. Starting work with online distribution in 1997, Simon has since worked with almost every significant entity in digital media. He has spoken at most music conferences around the world on digital music and media strategy, made statements to the UK parliament and has testified at the USA's CRB webcasting proceedings. But the most important role is keeping the Beggars Group of labels at the forefront of all new technologies to deliver its roster of artists to the widest possible audience. The Beggars Group represents 4AD, Matador, Rough Trade, XL Recordings and Young Turks..

Introduction The LX3V-4AD special module has four input channels.The input channels receive analog signals and convert them into a digital value.This is called an A/D conversion, the maximum resolution is 12 bits. The selection of voltage or current based input/output is by user wiring.Analog ranges of -10 to 10V DC (resolution:5mV), and/or 4 to 20mA, -20 to 20mA(resolution:20µA) may be selected. Data transfer between the LX3V-4AD and the LX3V main unit is by buffer memory exchange. There are 32 buffer memories (each of 16 bits) in the LX3V-4AD. LX3V-4AD consume 5V voltage from LX3V main unit or active extension unit,90mA current of power supply. 2. Dimensions ① Extension cable and connector ② Com LED:Light when communicating ③ Power LED:Light when connect to 24V ④ State LED:Light when normal condition ⑤ Module name ⑥ Analog signal output terminal ⑦ Extension module interface ⑧ DIN rail mounting slot ⑨ DIN rail hook ⑩ Mounting holes(φ4.5) - 2 - 3. Terminal layouts ① The analog input is received through a twisted pair shielded cable. This cable should be wired separately from power lines or any other lines which may induce electrical noise. ② If a voltage ripple occurs during input, or there is electrically induced noise on the external wiring, connect a smoothing capacitor of 0.1 to 0.47µF, 25V. ③ If you are using current input, connect the V+ and I+ terminals to each other.

It debuted on their fourth studio album, Elephant, and was released by XL Recordings and V2 Records in March 2003 as the lead single, through 7-inch vinyl and CD formats. Written and produced by Jack White, the song consists of distorted vocals, a simple drum rhythm and a bass-like riff created by playing guitar through the step-change effect. The song was written in the charts of many countries, and its success contributed to the popularity of the White Stripes and the movement of the revival of garage rock. In addition to praising his riff and drumbeat, critics rated Seven Nation Army as one of the best songs of the 2000s decade. It won Best Rock Song at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards, and the music video for director Alex and Martin's song won Best Editing in a Video at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. Seven Nation Army became a sporting anthem, usually appearing in audience chants, in which a series of o sounds or the name of an athlete are sung to the tune of a riff of a song.
