Installation Recommendations
FOR RACK MOUNT USE ONLY - Install the iEQ in your rack with the provided rack screws�
When installed in a rack, the unit should be positioned with enough room (at least one 1U above the
unit and 1U below the unit) to allow proper ventilation� The iEQ should not be mounted above or
below anything that generates excessive heat� Ambient temperatures should not exceed 113
0 F (45 0 C)
when equipment is in use� Although the unit is shielded against radio frequency and electromagnetic
interference, extremely high fields of RF and EMI should be avoided where possible�
Basic Connection of the iEQ
The iEQ Series Equalizers have balanced inputs and outputs that can be used with any balanced or
unbalanced line-level device�
To connect the equalizer to your sound system refer to the following steps:
• Turn off all equipment before making connections�
• Make audio connections via XLR, 1/4” TRS jacks, or Euroblock connectors according to
application needs� All three types of connectors for the inputs and outputs can be used for
balanced or unbalanced connections� The use of more than one connector at a time for the
inputs could unbalance balanced lines, cause phase cancellation, short a conductor to ground,
or cause damage to other equipment connected to the equalizer� More than one output may be
used simultaneously as long as the combined parallel load is greater than 600Ω.
• Select the operating range with the Boost/Cut range selection switch�
NOTE: Whenever amplifiers are powered on, be sure to reduce audio levels at the power
amplifiers when changing the setting of this switch as it may generate an audible transient�
• Apply power to the equalizer� Connect the AC power cord to the AC power receptacle on
the back of the equalizer� Route the AC power cord to a convenient power outlet away from
audio lines� The unit may be turned on and off from the rear panel power switch or a master
equipment power switch� Since the iEQ Series Equalizers consume a relatively small amount
of power, the units may be left on continuously�
