CONNECTING THE EQ TO THE SYSTEM

ONNECTING THE

The 30 Series equalizers have balanced inputs and outputs that can be used with any line-level device.

For more specific information about cabling possibilities, please refer to I

(pg. 9).

To connect the equalizer to the system, refer to the following steps:

Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

Mount equalizer in rack mount.

Install the EQs in a rack with the rack screws provided. It can be mounted above or below any-

thing that does not generate excessive heat. Ambient temperatures should not exceed 113° F

(45°C) when equipment is in use. Although the units chassis are shielded against radio frequen-

cy and electromagnetic interference, extremely high fields of RF and EMI should also be avoided.

Make audio connections via XLR, barrier strip or TRS jacks (according to application

needs)

All three types of connectors for the inputs and outputs can be used for balanced or unbalanced

connections. The use of more than one connector at a time for the input/output pair could unbal-

ance balanced lines, cause phase cancellation, short a conductor to ground, or cause damage to

the other equipment connected to the equalizer.

Select the operating range with the BOOST/CUT RANGE SELECTION SWITCH

Apply power to the equalizer

Connect the the AC power cord to the AC power receptacle on the back of the equalizer. Route

the A.C. power cord to a convenient power outlet away from audio lines. The unit may be turned

on and off from the front panel power switch or a master equipment power switch. Since they

draw a relatively small amount of current during idle, the units may be left on continuously.
