This LED indicates whether the output signal is clipped or not. When the LED flashes once in a while,
indicating the signal is sometimes clipped. When the LED frequently flashes, the signal is clipped often.
You should reduce the input, to the point the LED is not flashing anymore.
8. Input Level Control
This control allows you to adjust the input level from -
∞
to +6dB.
NOTE: Too much adjustment can distort the signal.
9. Filter
This knob allows you to control the “High-pass” crossover of the filter. If you press the “FILTER” button, it
connects to the filter and you can adjust the cut-off frequency of the filter. You can use it to eliminate the
low frequency range.

Installation
Remove all packing materials from the EQ-2231. Check that all foam and plastic padding is removed.
Screw the equipment into a 19" rack. Connect all cables.
Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before cleaning or servicing.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
Set Up and Operation
Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification
voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 240V power, or vice versa.
Install this device on a flat surface, not bending or curved.
Do not supply power before all components of the system are set up and connected properly.
If you want to filtrate a frequency below 40 Hz, you have to use the “FILTER” button.
Don’t adjust two neighboring frequency points, which are far away from each other. Otherwise, it will result
in a frequency deflection. For example: If 1 Khz is inc 15 dB, and 1.6 Khz is reduced to –15 dB. In
fact, a frequency of 800 Hz – 1.25 Khz is increased 15 dB and a frequency of 1.6 Khz – 2.5 Khz is reduced
15 dB. This is a phenomenon of an equalizer. On the next page you will find an example how to connect the
equalizer to your equipment.
