GETTING STARTED

Making Connections

Before making any connections, start by turning off your audio system and turning all 
volume levels down. This helps protect equipment from turn-on transients that could damage 
loudspeakers and other sensitive equipment. We recommend using a power bar with an on-
off switch as this makes it easy to turn on and off the 500 series rack, monitors and so on, 
using a single switch. Carefully plug the PhazeQ into your 500 series rack avoiding stress 
on the card edge connector. Screw the module in to ensure it does not accidentally become 
dislodged. 

Connections between the PhazeQ and the recording or PA system are made at the rear 
panel of your 500 series rack. Most 500 series racks are equipped with XLR connectors. 
When you plug the PhazeQ module into your 500 series rack, it will automatically route the 
card-slot input and output XLR jacks to the module. With the Radial Workhorse 500 series 
rack the I/O is augmented with ¼” TRS connectors, D-Subs and the Mix Buss signal to feed 
the Workhorse mixer.

Start by setting up the PhazeQ panel controls as follows:

1.  BLEND: set to the 50% position (12 o’clock) 

2.  PHASE SHIFT: set to zero degrees (7 o’clock)

3.  INVERT: outward position (0° ~ 180°)

4.  ON: outward position (PhaseQ bypassed) 

5.  FILTER: set to fully clockwise 

6.  RANGE: outward position (300Hz ~ 3.8kHz)

7.  ON: outward position (fi lter bypassed)
