INSTALLATION
The install is as straightforward as any other 500-series module; just slide it in, secure the screws and
you're done.
Don't forget to power down before you embark on any installation!
Once you're unit is securely installed in the 500-series slot, you can wire it in with the XLRs on the
back of the 500-series rack. If you've installed the unit in a 500-series ready console, you're good to
go.
The Insigna's 12AX7's voltage supply is 210 V, regulated down to an operating voltage of 185 V. The
EQ draws about 120mA and won't generate too much heat. However, make sure that your 500-series
rack is always well ventilated.
When it comes to the rack's power supply, it really pays to invest in a decent and stable one. This way
you won't run into trouble if some of your 500-series modules draw more power, potentially leaving
other slots underpowered.
The insignia's shielded output transformer will help reduce crosstalk and the inevitable noise gener-
ated by inferior rack PSUs.
OPERATION
The Insigna couldn't be more intuitive to use.
It's as simple as putting the unit out of bypass mode, set your desired frequencies and boost or cut to
taste.
Even though you have 12 dB of cut and boost, the Insigna remains very musical, even at extreme
boost levels.
