1. CONNECTIONS
Before you make any connections, always disconnect the battery!
1.1
First of all, connect the RCA cables coming from the radio/
headunit to the respective inputs of your ParaQ-7. Always run
signal cables in a distance to power cables and the vehicle´s
factory wires to avoid induction of noise.
1.2
The RCA signal cables to the amplifier are now connected to the
ParaQ-7´s respective outputs.
1.3
Next step is the ground connection. Check for a good grounding
point using your vehicle´schassis. Make sure that this point
has good electrical contact ! Some parts of the chassis might
only be glued and have no contact to battery (-). Run all
ground cables of the system to this point to avoid alternator
whine and other noise.
1.4
As the next connection the +12 V cable has to be connected to the
(+) terminal of the battery. Always be careful not to run this cable
around sharp edges, the insulation might be damaged. For holes
always use grommets!
Always use an in-line fuse in the +12 V power cable in max. 12"
from the battery´s + terminal (value must meet the current re-
quirements of the whole sound system, minimum value is 60 A).
1.5
The last connection is the remote wire. The headunit must always be
turned off during this connection, as it might be damaged when
remote output is shorted to ground!
1.6
Now you can reconnect the battery and insert the main fuse
into the power cable´s fuse holder.

3. OPERATION
3.1
Turn on the radio at low volume.
3.2
Adjust all „Gain" controls in exact mid position,
all „Q" controls to minimum.
3.3
Insert a CD with pink noise to your CD player.
3.4
Take the first measurement of the frequency response,
and save the resulting curve.
3.5
Look for significant peaks and dips in the plot.
3.5
Try to compensate them by turning up the respective „Gain", then
frequency, and „Q".
Do not correct dips and peaks with too narrow bandwidth.
3.6
You can also download a specific adjustment from our website
www.xetec.de
. This way you do not need to take measure-
ments, since our engineers already have done this for you.
Just adjust all controls as shown in the figure and your
soundsystem will be perfectly optimized.
