Owner’s Manual

Firstly, let us congratulate you on your purchase of the DRS-EQ/500

Equalizer designed for the API 500 series Lunchbox or

suitable compatible rack.

We know you will be as pleased with it’s sonic qualities as we are.

You are now the proud owner of an EQ that has the advantages of

more than 40 years experience in audio engineering, today’s component

and manufacturing technology, but still retaining “that sound” uniquely

achievable through Class A design.

As you can tell, Phoenix Audio is dedicated to the development of Class

A discrete technology used within high build-quality equipment.

The DRS-EQ/500 uses our well proven and loved Class A output stage

(DSOP2), but also has our latest breakthrough in transformer-less Class

A, Discrete Input Technology which gives a "valve-like" sound.

You CAN hear the difference!!!

. DRS-EQ/500 SETUP INSTRUCTIONS The DRS-EQ/500 has a vertical row of LED’s to indicate level. These LED’s are connected to the OUTPUT of the unit, NOT the input section. This makes the LED’s indication much more useful for setting up levels on the EQ, and to give you a clear view of what level is being sent to external equipment. The LED’s are marked –2,+4 and +10 (Green) and +13 (Yellow) and +18 (Red).

We have selected eleven switch-able frequencies, which we will be most used for a variety of instruments and voices. The switch-able frequencies are : HF – 15k & 10K Mid HF – 6K, 3K & 1.6K Mid LF – 800hz, 400hz & 200hz LF – 130hz, 80hz & 40hz Each of the four EQ bands has 16db cut and boost so its very powerful and each click of the detented pots will equate to around 1.5db in either cut or boost.
