Safety Instructions

Symbols used

The “CAUTION” symbol indicates a risk of product degradation.
The “WARNING” symbol indicates a risk to the physical integrity of the user and any other person present. The product may also be damaged.

Attention: To reduce the risk of ! electric shock, do not remove the user-serviceable piece inside. Contact a qualified service technician for maintenance of this unit.
Noise Levels: PA systems are capable of delivering sound level (SPL) harmful to human health. The sound pressure levels are apparently not critical damage your hearing if the person is exposed over a long period. Do not park in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers in operation.

The symbol lightning-shaped in an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the presence, inside the box, non-insulated parts tensions high enough to constitute a risk of electric shock.
he exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of maintenance or operations in the device documentation.
Risk of Electric shock: To prevent the risk of electric shock, do not use extension cords, making multiple of another connection system without metal parts in contact are completely out of reach.

Do not install the unit in a poorly ventilated area, or in a place subject to high humidity or direct sunlight (or strong artificial light).

Various tips

Output signal

The EQ is a device used to change the volume and structure of a sound signal. This is likely to create distortions harmful to your equipment distribution. Always make sure that the output of your EQ is clear, without distortion, and an acceptable level for downstream devices. Indeed, a simple check of the output volume is not sufficient.
A saturated signal, even at an acceptable level, can damage your equipment or create hearing problems.

General Characteristics

Stereo equalizer 2×15 band with inputs/outputs balanced and unbalanced – 19-inch rack.
The EQ is a professional tool for changing the sound level by frequency bands and thus change the look of a sound source, by reducing or increasing parts of the spectrum.

Stereo 15-band equalizer, 2/3 octave of 31.5Hz to 16KHz
Adjustable output level: +12/-12dB
20mm faders
Frequency response: 20Hz~20KHz ±1dB
Frequency-set: +/-12dB (+/-0.5dB)

Front and Rear Panels

Power button

This button to turns the unit on or off.

Power indicator

This LED lights up when the EQ is in working condition.

Key IN/OUT

This button, once pressed, bypasses the EQ section.

Faders frequency setting

These faders allow you to adjust each frequency with an effective range of +/-12dB. The value of the frequency is indicated about each fader and is expressed in Hertz (Hz).

Output gain

This potentiometer controls the gain of the total output of the EQ. This setting is particularly useful to catch the fall or rises in level due to this type of treatment. Adjustment range is -12dB/+12dB.

Output Level Bar Graph

These 4 LEDs indicate the output level. Each LED illuminates when the signal reaches the level that corresponds to it. Values are expressed in dB. When +10 and +17 LED indicators light up, the risk of saturation is high.

Low Cut

This button will activate the low-cut integrated equalizer.This is cut down from 60Hz, with a slope of -3dB.

Input RCA

This entry is formatted RCA (-10dB). It serves to receive the incoming signal.

Fuse

In case of failure, replace the original fuse by an equivalent in type and characteristics.

General Power

Power cord before connecting to the mains, always check that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage selected on the back of the unit.

Voltage selector

This switch, protected by a cover, you can use the device at mains voltage 220Vac or 110Vac. Always check that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage selected on the back of the unit.

Jack 6.35 TRS and XLR Input

These connectors are used to receive the input signal and accept balanced and unbalanced signals.
