One KQ30 Stereo Operation
Got one KQ30? Want to equalize both the Left and Right channels? This is the diagram for you. In this application
one KQ30 will equalize both the left and right channels simultaneously and output the equalized signal to your sys-
tem. This is the most common and typical use of a KQ30.
Once you have your interconnect cables routed from
your source unit to the KQ30, simply connect the Left and
Right channel RCA outputs from your source unit into
the Left and Right channel inputs of the KQ30. Take the
Left and Right channel outputs of the KQ30 and connect
them to the next component in your signal path which is
typically your electronic crossover or amplifier(s). (Fig.1)
Check the STEREO/MONO and the EQ/BYPASS switches
and make sure they are in the STEREO and EQ (out) posi-
tions. (Fig. 2)

Wiring Instructions
In most cases, the KQ30 should be placed directly after your source unit in the signal chain. If you are using a
pre-amplifier, like a KICKER KQ5, then your signal chain should go from your source unit to the KQ5 and then on to
the KQ30. The output of the KQ30 would then connect to the next component in your signal path which is typically
your electronic crossover or amplifier(s). (Fig. 3)
