QUICK START

If this is your first equalizer, please do yourself and

your speakers a favor and read at least the first five pages.
“An ounce of prevention...,” and all that.

The MQ 302L is a stereo equalizer, so adjusting any

slider affects both channels simultaneously. Begin by
setting all sliders to their center detent (0 dB), and the

INPUT LEVEL

 to its center detent (0 dB). Try to make

more cuts than boosts. After equalizing, use the 

EQ 

switch

to compare equalized and non-equalized signal. While 

EQ

is switched to 

ACTIVE 

(

out

), adjust the 

INPUT LEVEL

to the same level as when 

EQ 

is switched to 

BYPASS

(

in

).

You may use either the XLR or ¼" connectors for

Inputs or Outputs. Connect only one 

INPUT

 type per

channel. The XLR and ¼" TRS inputs do not sum. You
may, however, use both types of 

OUTPUT

S simulta-

neously if desired.
