12. OUTPUTS
Three types of output connectors are provided for OUTPUT connections: male XLR type connectors, ¼” TRS
connectors, and a barrier terminal strip.
13. CHASSIS GROUND LIFT
By removing the jumper connecting the two screws on the barrier terminal strip, the chassis ground is
separated from the circuit ground of the equalizer unit. This is sometimes necessary to prevent ”ground
loops” in a sound system. When lifting the ground strap, you must make a connection from the circuit ground
terminal to some other ground point in your audio system in order for the equalizer to function properly.

MAKING CONNECTIONS
MAKING CONNECTIONS
The GECKO® DESTINY EQ 7043 graphic equalizer has balanced INPUTS and OUTPUTS that can be used
with any balanced or unbalanced line-level device. For more specific information about cabling possibilities,
please refer to INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS.
To connect the equalizer to your sound system, refer to the following steps:
1. Turn OFF all equipment before making any connections.
2. Mount the GECKO® DESTINY EQ 7043 on a 3U rack space (not included). It can be mounted
above or below anything that does not generate excessive heat. Although it requires no special
ventilation, ambient temperatures should not exceed 113°F (45°C) when equipment is powered.
3. Make connections using quality audio cables (i.e. GECKO® TRUTH T3AL) and connectors (i.e.
GECKO® OLYMPIAN connectors) according to your requirements. Audio connections are made via
XLR (male and female) and ¼” TRS connectors, or barrier terminal strips. All of these connectors for
the INPUTS and OUTPUTS can be used for balanced or unbalanced connections.
