Welcome to Electrix!  We would like to thank you for purchas-
ing EQ Killer, a customizable Kill Box for DJ’s and producers.  EQ
Killer represents an entirely new concept in musical electronics,
unique in both its "hands on" ease of use and "retro/futuristic"
design.  

EQ Killer can directly process a wide range of input signal
sources from vinyl to CDs, as well as synthesizers, samplers, or
just about anything else in your rig.

EQ Killer boasts three frequency bands with level controls and
frequency selection for maximum "Performance EQ." The dual
path architecture allows easy switching between two turntables
or line level devices to individually access EQ Killer’s band killing
or boosting effect. There’s even a stereo send and return loop
so you can apply external effects to the "killed" bands! 

A New Dimension in FX!

EQ Killer is part of a new series of remix tools from Electrix
called the "Mods." Like the Modular Synthesizers of the 1960’s
and 1970’s, multiple "Electrix Mods" can be racked together to
create a "hands on" effects monster.

EQ Killer’s unique industrial design allows it to be used in a 10"
rack mount or as a desktop tool. We’ve even included a joiner
plate to connect two Mod products together to fit in a 19" rack.
This new concept makes EQ Killer’s control surface perfect for
any use, whether live or in the studio. Check out the shape! 

For maximum flexibility, connect EQ Killer to other members of
the Electrix Mods family.  For example, the Filter Queen is a
great sounding Analog HIGH Order Filter that offers DJs, musi-
cians and producers the award winning quality of the Electrix
Filter Factory in an even more cost effective package.  Also,
check out the Electrix MoFx for distortion, phasor and delay, as
well as the Electrix Warp Factory for vocal effects and vocoding.

We want to know what YOU think about the future of remix,
and we would also like to hear what you can do with Electrix
gear.  Please send your CDs, MDs, vinyl or cassettes to us at the
address on the back page of this manual. 

Want to find out more about the Mods or other Electrix prod-
ucts?  Check out our Web site at: www.electrixpro.com. Again,
thanks for purchasing EQ Killer.  Now get your "Hands On" and
get creative!
