Congratulations

 on having the good taste to buy one of the world’s

finest octave equalizers for your home stereo.

Now you can improve the performance of your speakers, adjust the sound of

CD's, make killer car tapes and even improve the  sound of video soundtracks.

MAKING FRIENDS WITH YOUR NEW TEN Series III

The TEN is a fairly complex, high performance add-on with lots of buttons,

knobs and sockets including some not found on any other equalizer, so face the
blackboard and we’ll run you through each control, hole and protuberance on
the TEN.

1

 POWER SWITCH

Self explanatory. It allows the TEN to nourish its circuits from the vast

dynamos and generators of your local monopolistic power company.  Don’t
worry about using a splitter socket if you’re short of outlets: The TEN draws less
current than a clock radio and will pose no overload hazard when added to
your current tangle of plugs.

·

 EQ SWITCH

Think of this as a comparison switch. IN, you’re hearing the effect of the

TEN.  OUT, you’re hearing things as they were before the TEN was installed.
When you use the TEN to change the tone of your music or beef up speaker
range, just pop the EQ switch in and out to make frequency comparisons.

¸

 EQUALIZE RECORDING

This switch determines whether you’re equalizing your program source (CD,

FM etc.) onto tape or not.  In the OUT position, your program source is simply
being equalized and played through your speakers.  The IN setting transfers all
the
equalization to your tape deck.  Just about all cassette recordings can benefit by
equalization which we’ll cover further on.  Note that the LED under the
EQUALIZE RECORDING button blinks on the IN position to warn you in case
you DON’T want to equalize a recording.
