Millennia NSEQ-2 Twin Topology Stereo Parametric Equalizer - Manual (Page 3)


NSEQ-2
QUICK START!
READ THIS!! The NSEQ-2 operates with lethal operat-
ing voltages -- the voltage inside the NSEQ-2 can kill you.
Never, under any circumstances, remove the top cover. Re-
fer to a qualified electronics technician any and all servic-
ing, tube replacement, and other operations which require
the top cover to be removed.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Millennia Media NSEQ-2 with Twin Topology. The
NSEQ-2 is the result of meticulous listening tests on numerous circuit, topology, and packaging
designs. Your NSEQ-2 is a finely tuned instrument intended for critical professional applica-
tions — we feel it is the world's most sonically neutral analog EQ. With the emergence of 24+
bit digital audio, recording engineers are faced with a new requirement for undistorted dynamic
range. The NSEQ-2 meets this challenge exceptionally well.
Before connecting power to the NSEQ-2, assure that the rear panel voltage selection fuse block
switch is set correctly. In the USA, the NSEQ-2 is shipped with the voltage selection block set
to 100-120 VAC. At this voltage setting, a pair of 1 amp 5 x 20 mm slow blow fuses have been
factory installed. If you change the voltage selection block to 200-240 VAC usage, be sure to
change both fuses to 500 milliamp (0.4 amp) slow blow types.
The NSEQ-2 enclosure measures 19" wide x 3.5" high x 12.5" deep and is designed for mount-
ing into a standard 2U, 19" equipment rack. If the NSEQ-2 is mounted in a road case or other
rack which is prone to strong vibration or shock, it is recommended that the rear of the NSEQ-
2 be supported or otherwise reinforced to withstand such conditions. The NSEQ-2 requires ad-
equate ventilation. To assure proper air circulation and operation, leave at least one rack space
open above and below the NSEQ-2.
The NSEQ-2 is designed on a common ground topology. For high quality operation, and for
your own safety and the safety of others, do not defeat the purpose of the earth grounding pin
on the A/C power cord!
