How to adjust the EZQ:
So far you know what all the connections are for and how to get the ReCurve physically
connected to your stock stereo. But now you want to know how to make it work. Well the
great news is that 90% of the ReCurve EZQ setup has been completed.
There are 26 adjustable knobs on the ReCurve EZQ, AND at first glance it can be somewhat
intimidating. But don’t stress, after a few minutes of playing with the knobs you will be able
to adjust the music to your desired “taste”.
The first step in setting up the ReCurve EZQ is to set the OUTPUT voltage level that will be
delivered to your amplifier. You will want to have a digital multi-meter for this step. You
don’t’ need an expensive unit. You can use a $30 unit from just about any electronics store
or order one from amazon.com. We will have some on our website for about $25. If you
hunt around on amazon, can probably find them for as low as $15.
You will also need to download some test tones from our site (available here on this page).
The test tones need to be burned to a CD and played on your stereo. You can view this video
to see how to make it all work.
NOTE: WE prefer to use the CD to set up the voltage output. Phones and USB interfaces
sometimes introduce variables that we don’t’ want to deal with during this phase.
We will be looking to provide around 4 – 6 volts of output to your amplifier. The ReCurve
EZQ can provide up to 12 volts of output. However, most amps are not setup to handle more
than 8 volts. There are some rare cases with older amps where you might need additional
output so we built that into the ReCurve.
