1.
Turn the gain controls on your amplifier(s) all the way down.
2.
Remove the RCA cables from the output jacks of the KQ30 and insulate
them with tape.
3.
Set the Output Level controls on the KQ30 at their minimum (fully count-
er clock-wise) position.
4.
Using a well recorded CD with a strong signal or better yet a continuous
1KHz tone recorded at 0 dB (track 10 from AutoSound 2000 CD 104), turn
your source unit up to 90% of it’s maximum output.
5.
Turn the KQ30s Left channel Output Level control up until the Left chan-
nel output clipping LED starts to flash.
6.
Turn the KQ30s Right channel Output Level control up until the Right
channel output clipping LED starts to flash.
7.
With a digital voltmeter set to the AC volts we want to measure the sig-
nal coming out the Left channel of the KQ30. Use a short RCA cable and
place the meters probes on the shield and center pin of the RCA jack.
8.
Now measure the Right channel using the same procedure as in step 7.
9a.
If the Left and Right channel have the same reading do nothing. Skip
steps 9b & 9c and proceed to step 10.
9b.
If the Left channel reading is higher than the Right, turn down the Left
channel Output Level control until it matches the Right channel. Skip step
9c and proceed to step 10.
9c.
If the Right channel reading is higher than the Left, turn down the
Right channel Output Level control until it matches the Left channel.
10.
Turn the source unit down and shut off the system.
11.
Reconnect the RCA cables to your KQ30.

That’s it, you are now ready to enjoy the full capabilities the KQ30 has to
offer you. Find cousin Bernie and share a cold beverage with him while you
admire your work.

Final Gain Settings
If you have made it here then you have either tweaked your KQ30 by ear and skipped the RTA EEqualization sec-
tion, completed the RTA EEqualization section or just skipped ahead to see how the story ends.
Now that you have finished tweaking the equalization bands on your KQ30 you are ready to do a final Output
Level setup and balance check to insure optimum performance. This step is very similar to the initial level setting
procedure with a few steps removed and a couple added.
