to the range selection switch there is a n output level control potentiometer. The level control operates
between off and +6dB. Note: If there is too much gain your equalizer has a red LED Clip indicator.
The Clip LED illuminates when signals reach 5dB prior to clipping. If this situation occurs and the
overload LED flashes occasionally, this is okay, but if the overload LED is steadily on you must
readjust the level control.
Here are some tips to help you with the initial set up:
1. Set channel levels to the center detent 0dB on the front panel.
2. Bypass the bypass equalizer (Note: The red LED is on).
3. Set the frequency slide controls to the center detent or 0dB.
4. Select the 6dB range switch (Note: The green LED is on).
5. Apply signal to the system.
6. Release the bypass switch (Note: The red LED is off).
7. If the Clip LED is on you must turn down the input level control.
8.You may now start equalizing your system.
9. If you do not have enough gain for your needs, switch the range switch to the 12dB setting.
10. If the Clip LED lights continuously, turn down the level control until the LED is off most of the time.
