DESCRIPTION
REAR PANEL
IN: 1/4" TS unbalanced and RCA jacks for connection to input signal.
This could be an instrument or the output of a signal processor.
OUT: 1/4" TS unbalanced and RCA jacks for connection to an amplifier,
or mixer.
LVL: This control adjusts the overall level of the equalizer. Note that the
center position is detented for easy location of unity gain.
32 through 16K: These controls boost or cut the indicated frequency.
When the slider is in the center (detented) position, the frequency is not
effected.
BYPASS/EQ SWITCH: Selects whether the input signal is sent through
the equalization circuitry (EQ) or is sent directly to the outputs (BY-
PASS). Note that the EQ101 has a "hard-wire" bypass meaning that if
there is no power connected to the unit, signal will still be present at the
outputs.
PWR: This LED indicates that power is applied to the EQ101.
12 - 17 VDC: For connection to the AC adapter. Please use either the
ROLLS PS27, or a proper adapter with 12 - 17 VDC, 150 mA, outside of
barrel positive.
