Presentation
The TEQ 7 is a compact 7-band stereo equalizer for 12V system, available in 3 backlight color versions: Red, blue or yellow, see label on the package.
- Seven bands of equalization (63 Hz, 125 Hz, 315 Hz, 750Hz, 2.2 KHz, 6.3 kHz and 16 kHz), with adjustable gain from -12dB to +12dB.
- Two RCA and HIGH LEVEL inputs wire a maximum level of 10Vrms.
- Frequency response from 6Hz to 50KHz -1dB, signal-to-noise ratio >100dB.
- Crossover HPF and LPF (-12dB/octave) with 4 settings (OFF, 100Hz, 1KHz and 10KHz).
Important recommendations
The TEQ 7 must be fixed in an easily accessible place. It is not recommended
to install the product on the sides of loudspeakers, as excessive vibrations
can damage its internal components.
To avoid noise, use shielded signal cables and good quality connectors.
Top side adjusts / controls
1 and 2 – Gain L / R: Gain adjustment for the L channel of the (center
position) input (done using a 1/8″ philips screwdriver. The default gain is
0dB. Note: Philips key is not included with the product.
3- HPF : High pass filter with 4 options (OFF, 100Hz, 1KHz and 10KHz).
4- LPF: Low pass filter with 4 options (OFF, 10KHz, 1KHz and 100Hz).
5- Internal lighting: The lighting color depends on the 3 options.
6- Fixing plate
Functions and Controls
Front panel
- Volume: Controls the output signal level.
- Mute: Turns off the audio signal at the output.
- Gain controls: Adjusts the gain of each frequency from -12dB to +12dB.
Rear panel
-
– Power Connector: The recommended wiring gauge is 0.75mm².
GND – Power Negative (Connect to battery negative pole).
IN – Remote input (Connect the remote output of the CD/DVD Player).
OUT – Remote output (Connect to the remote input of the accessory or amplifier).
12VDC – Positive Power Supply (Connect to positive pole of 12V battery). -
OUT: Audio output for amplifiers or accessories.
-
IN: Input for low level / high impedance (RCA) signals.
-
High Level IN: Input for high level / low impedance signals (from the speaker output of the
Head Unit), with automatic remote activation system compatible with original multimedia with diagnosis (A.S.S. Advanced Speaker Simulation OEM HU). Don’t need the remote signal while using this input.
Note: The system was designed for use in virtually all head units on the
market. However, some of them may not get the trigger effect due to the type
of audio output circuit. In that case, use REMOTE wire insfead.
CAUTION
Check power polarity and recommended gauge.
It’s recommended to install a 1 Ampere fuse on the positive supply terminal.
