Rear Panel Connections

Channel A and B INPUTS

Plug the outputs of the mixer or other source to these Inputs. Choose only one type of connector — the ¼" TRS, XLR, and 

Euroblock 

do not sum

.  

Note: In agreement with IEC and AES/ANSI standards, wiring convention is pin 2 positive, pin 3 is negative (re-

turn), pin 1 is shield chassis ground.

 Refer to the 

Sound Sytem Interconnection

 RaneNote, supplied with this manual, for correct wiring 

to other connectors or unbalanced devices.

Channel A and B OUTPUTS

Connect these to the Inputs of an amplifier or mixer. The Outputs may be used simultaneously to drive different devices at once. 

All Outputs are balanced and follow the same “pin 2 hot” convention as the Inputs.

Power connector

The PEQ 55 uses a universal internal switching power supply that accepts 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz, allowing it to work in 

most countries. The line cord attaches to a standard IEC appliance inlet. A US line cord is shipped with each unit.
