QUICK START

If this is your first equalizer, please do yourself and

your speakers a favor and read at least the first five

pages. “An ounce of prevention...,” and all that.

The SEQ 30L is a stereo equalizer, so adjusting

any slider affects both channels simultaneously. Begin

by setting all sliders to their center detent (0 dB), and

the INPUT LEVEL to its center detent (0 dB). Try to

make more cuts than boosts. After equalizing, use the

EQ switch to compare equalized and non-equalized

signal. While EQ is switched to ACTIVE (out), adjust

the INPUT LEVEL to the same level as when EQ is

switched to BYPASS (in).

You may use either the XLR or ¼" connectors for

Inputs or Outputs. Connect only one INPUT type per

channel. The XLR and ¼" TRS inputs do not sum.

You may, however, use both types of OUTPUTS

simultaneously if desired.

WEAR PARTS: This product contains no wear parts.

SEQ 30L OPERATORS MANUAL STEREO GRAPHIC EQUALIZER QUICK START If this is your first equalizer, please do yourself and your speakers a favor and read at least the first five pages. “An ounce of prevention...,” and all that.

INPUT LEVEL control and indicators This controls the overall level. 0 dB gain is reached at the center detent with all sliders centered at their 0 dB detents. Set the INPUT LEVEL to give equal volumes with the EQ switched to ACTIVE or BYPASS, after setting the sliders (see EQ BYPASS switch below). Apply sufficient signal to the input to occasionally light the +4 dBu indicator. Flashing of the OL (overload) LED during peaks can be avoided by turning the INPUT LEVEL or boosted Filters down.

LEFT & RIGHT OUTPUTS Use either the Balanced XLR or the Unbalanced ¼" TS jacks. Using both types of Outputs are permissible to drive two devices, such as an amplifier and a recorder. LEFT & RIGHT INPUTS Choose between the balanced XLR or the balanced/unbalanced ¼" TRS jacks, but only use one. Inserting a ¼" TS jack will work—however—always use balanced lines especially when connecting cables over 10 feet in length. Consult SOUND SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION on page Manual-6.

SEQ 30L CONNECTION Exactly where you install your SEQ 30L into a sound system significantly affects such things as noise, system headroom, compressor/limiter performance and other factors influencing overall sound quality. Both what and why you are equalizing determines where you install it. WHAT AND WHY Tone contouring is accomplished mainly by ear. This you know how to do. Be careful though, not to introduce too much bass boost.
