MODEL 503

The LaChapell Audio 503 is a 3-band transformer-less EQ based on the EQ section of the 583E pre/EQ.

filters along with a gain trim stage of +/- 6dB.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

Stated below are a few areas that you must take the time to read before you install and use your 500 
Series. You as the owner/user are responsible for completely understanding how to operate this device 
safely and properly. 

•  UNPACKING: Inspect thoroughly. Although we take extreme care at final assembly and packing, 

things can happen during transit. It is very important that you contact LaChapell Audio if there is 
anything broken or damaged upon receipt of package. Included in every package should be: 
(1) preliminary operating manual, (1) packet of mounting screws, (1) registration card. It is a good 
idea for you to retain the packaging (box & foam case) in case there is a need to return the unit 
for service or repair at a later date. 

•  SERVICE/REPAIR - WARNING: Only Digital Audio Labs personnel are to perform maintenance and 

service activities. 

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•  Always provide adequate ventilation by allowing the top vents of your 500 series power supply 

chassis to remain unobscured. 

•  Never position the power supply directly above other heat generating sources such as a power 

amplifier.

•  Always provide a source to ground (earth.) Never under any conditions should a power cord that 

has the 3rd prong for ground missing or defeated be used with the power supply.

•  Do not place the 503 in an area where there is a potential for fluids to fall, spill into or come in 

contact with the 503. If you notice fluids or moisture present inside the 503 DO NOT turn power on! 
Contact Digital Audio Labs for direction.
