HARDWARE CONTROLS — FRONT PANEL

Bypass Switch: Located on the bottom left hand side of the faceplate is the 

bypass toggle switch.  This switch engages or disengages the equalizer sec-

tion of the EQP-WA.  By design, it is not a true bypass; but merely takes the EQ 

circuitry out of the audio path.  More on this is discussed later in the manual.

Power Switch and indicator bulb: Located on the bottom right hand side 

of the faceplate is the mains power toggle switch.  This turns the unit 

on, and power will be indicated by the adjacent power indicator bulb.  

LOW FREQUENCY CONTROL

Boost and Cut - Low Frequency

 

selector: this rotary switch selects a fre-

quency in the low to lower midrange bands for boost, cut, or even simulta-

neous boost and cut to create a desired texture eff ect to the selected band.   

‘Boost’ (low frequency): this controls the amount of gain 

applied to the band selected by the low frequency selector 

with a range from zero (unity gain) to +12db.

‘Cut’ (low frequency): this controls the amount of attenuation 

applied to the band selected by the low frequency selector, 

with a range from zero (unity gain) to -18db.

In this example, the EQP-WA is being routed as an insert into a recording device. 

This is useful for using the EQP-WA as an “analog plug-in” or insert for mix-down. 

The recording device is feeding the EQP-WA with a balanced 1/4” cable via a line 

output. Then, the recording device is capturing the EQP-WA via a LINE LEVEL input.
