INTRODUCTION AND CONTENTS EQ302 INTRODUCTION 3 The Australian Monitor EQ302 is a dual 30 band, 1/3 octave, constant Q graphic equaliser with excellent performance and functionality and is suitable for both installation and PA use. The equaliser has a comprehensive set of features including 45 mm faders with +/- 15 dB of adjustment and offers balanced XLR, 6.35 mm TRS and Phoenix connectors on both the input and output to provide ease of installation.
FEATURES The Australian Monitor EQ302 is a dual 30 band, 1/3 octave, constant Q graphic equaliser suitable for both permanent installation and PA use. The equaliser is housed in a 19” 3 RU rack mount format. Features include; • Dual channel graphic equaliser providing +/- 15 dB cut / boost on each of the 30 ISO frequency bands. • Centre detent bypass on 45 mm faders. When any fader is in its centre detent position, the filter is automatically bypassed.
UNPACKING Before using the product, please read this manual carefully and operate only in the manner described. If you have any questions, please ask your local dealer or visit the Australian Monitor website www.australianmonitor.com for assistance. Whilst unpacking the equaliser from its cardboard container, please check and ensure that no damage has occurred in transit. Any damage to the goods must be immediately notified to the supplier.
FRONT PANEL 6 8 1 EQ In Individual bypass / enable buttons are provided for each channel. When the button is deselected (out), the equaliser is bypassed, connecting the input directly to the output of the device. With the EQ In button depressed, the signal path of the equaliser is inserted between the input and output. A LED, (A or B) indicates that the relevant equaliser channel is activated. The bypass feature also occurs when the mains power is turned off or if power fails to the unit.
REAR PANEL 1 2 6 5 4 3 1 IEC Mains power socket and fuse. 2 Voltage Select Voltage selection switch set at either 115 V or 230 V. Please ensure that your local voltage has been selected before applying power to the unit. Refer to Power Requirements section. 3 Input Channel A A high impedance (10 kΩ) input is provided via either, XLR, 6.35 mm TRS jack or Phoenix screw terminals. All the inputs are electronically balanced and parallel connected.
MOUNTING The EQ302 is a 19” rack mounted unit and requires 3 RU (134 mm) of rack space. The equaliser is 180 mm deep and consideration should be given to rear support, particularly if the unit is to be installed into a travelling road case were vibration may be an issue. Whilst the equaliser does not radiate significant heat, care should be taken not to locate the unit directly onto other heat producing equipment such as amplifiers.
ABOUT EQUALISERS Graphic equalisers are used to modify the frequency contour of a sound system, primarily to correct problems posed by a room’s acoustics. The graphic equaliser provides the ability to alter the frequency response of a sound system to ensure that the frequency balance heard through the system loudspeakers better matches the original source. A well balanced room is essential to avoid feedback and distortion and to provide clarity of the audio source material.
