CONNECTING THE EQ TO YOUR SYSTEM
SSP 2015
page 4
The Equalizer has balanced inputs and outputs that can be used with any balanced or unbalanced line- level
device.
To connect the equalizer to your sound system; refer to the following steps:
•
Turn off all equipment before making connections.
•
Mount equalizer in a standard-width rack.
Install the EQs in a rack with the rack screws provided. It can be mounted above or below anything
that does not generate excessive heat. Ambient temperatures should not exceed 113°F (45°C)
when equipment is in use. Although the unit’s chassis is shielded against radio frequency and
electromagnetic interference, extremely high fields of RF and EMI should be avoided.
•
Make audio connections via XLR, barrier strip, or 1/4” TRS jacks
(according to
application needs)
All three types of connectors for the inputs and outputs can be used for balanced or unbalanced
connections.
The use of more than one connector at a time for the inputs could unbalance balanced lines, cause
phase cancellation, short a conductor to ground, or cause damage to other equipment connected to
the equalizer. More than one output may be used simultaneously as long as the combined parallel load
is greater than 2kΩ.
•
Select the operating range with the BOOST/CUT RANGE SELECTION switch
NOTE: Be sure to reduce audio levels at the power amplifiers when changing the setting of this switch
as it may generate an audible transient.
•
Apply power to the equalizer
Connect the AC power cord to the AC power receptacle on the back of the equalizer. Route the AC
power cord to a convenient power outlet away from audio lines. The unit may be turned on and off
from the rear panel power switch or a master equipment power switch. Since the Equalizers consume
a relatively small amount of power, the units may be left on continuously.
