QUICK INSTALLATION INFORMATION
For those of you short on time but high on ambition we
offer the following section to speed up your installation of
the EQS:
1. The EQS needs to be installed in the signal path between
your source unit and an external amplifier(s). If this is not
obvious to you, quickly pack up your EQS and run to your
nearest authorized AudioControl dealer to have them
perform the installation. You will thank us later.
2. Physically mount the EQS in a location that keeps it away
from soda spills, food crumbs, and curious fingers. How-
ever you will want to select a
location that allows you
access to the equalization
controls.
3. Hook up +12 volt power,
-12 volt ground, and remote
turn-on. If you need to know
more, then read on. Heck if
you don’t think you need to
know more, you should still read on, because you can
never know too much.
4. Level match the inputs of your EQS to your source and
then adjust the outputs to match with your amplifier
inputs.
Note:
You will want to turn the gains on your amplifiers
DOWN to maximize your systems performance.
5. Now comes the fun apart. Set your equalization
controls to where your system sounds the most balanced yet
dynamic. More about this in the section titled “Adjusting
Your Equalizer”…and you thought you would not have to
read the rest on the manual. Hah!
