The Tube EQ has an internal power supply designed to operate
at 100 to 125VAC, 50 to 60Hz. Units manufactured for use out-
side of the United States of America have been modified to com-
ply with the required electrical specifications. Under no circum-
stances should the power cable be altered. If the cable becomes
cut or damaged, discontinue its use and have it replaced before
using the Tube EQ.

Audio connections to and from the Tube EQ are balanced XLR
(Pin 2 Hot (+), Pin 3 Cold (-), Pin 1 Ground) and unbalanced
1/4” (Tip Hot (+), Sleeve Ground). We recommend using only
high-quality cables equipped with the appropriate connectors.

- Between a microphone/ line preamplifier and signal proces-
