1. Filter level controls
Each one of these linear potentiometers will boost or attenuate (either 6dB or 12dB) the selected
frequency at a preset bandwidth.
When all the sliders are in the centre position, the output of the equalizer is flat response.
5
2. Level control
This control sets the input signal level to the equalizer. Its "0dB" position is unity gain (no boost or attenuation).
If the clip LED(5) is light continuously, turndown this control until it only flickers occasionally.
3. High pass filter
This button electronically inserts a filter into the signal path, which cuts the low frequencies at 40Hz (12dB
per octave). The LED (12) indicator lights when the button is pressed and this filter is serving in the circuit.
4. Low pass filter
This button electronically inserts a filter into the signal path, which cuts the high frequencies at 16KHz (12dB
per octave). The LED (13) indicator lights when the button is pressed and this filter is serving in the circuit.
5. Clip LED
This LED will light when any section of the equalizer is within 5 dB of clipping. Occasional flickering of
this clip LED is acceptable, but if it remains on continuously, you should turn down the level control or
reduce the output level of the preceding component to avoid audible distortion.
6. Bypass switch
This switch inserts or removes the equalizer channel path. If bypass, the bypass LED(7) will be
illuminated to indicate it is in bypass mode. When bypassed, the input signal is routed directly to the
output jacks. When power loss, the unit automatic bypassed.
7. Bypass LED
When this LED lights, it is in bypass mode.
8. Range switch
This button switches the gain range of the filter potentiometer between 6dB and 12dB.
9. Filter range indicator
When the 6dB range is selected, green LED will light. When the 12dB range is selected, red LED will
light.
10. Power switch
This is used to switch the equalizer on and off. The appliance would be turned on when the power switch
to be set to the on-position, and it would be turned off when the switch be set to the off-position.
11. VU meter
This VU meter is used to indicate the output level.
12. High pass LED
When the High pass filter(40Hz/12dB) is in active, this LED will light.
13. Low pass LED
When the Low pass filter(16KHz/12dB) is in active, this LED will light.
14. Output level meter
This output level meter is used to indicate the output level.

NOTE : While you can use any input connector with any output connector, only one set of these con-
nectors is to be used at one time, detail wiring and connection, please refer to 4.2 audio connection.
18. Ground lift switch
This switch is used to disconnect the signal ground from the mains and chassis earth. If it is determined
that the equalizer is the cause of hum or buzz in your system due to a ground loop, move this switch to the
"lift" position.
19. Fuse holder / Voltage selector
This is a dual voltage unit. Before you attempt to connect and operate the unit, please make sure that your
local voltage matches the voltage on the fuse-holder cover.
Caution: The fuse protecting the AC supplies circuits of this unit. The fuse can only be changed by
a qualified technician, in the event of a fault or changing the supply voltage. If the fuse continues to
blow after replacing, discontinue use of this unit before repaired.

AC OPERATION
The fuse-holder above the AC connector on the rear of the chassis has 3 triangular markers(please
refer to the above pictures), with two of these triangles opposing each other, your unit is set to the
operating voltage printed next to these markers.
To change, pull fuse-holder out and rotate 180 ,then push in again.
20. AC Inlet
This connector is meant for the connection of the supplied main cord.
Do not insert power cable into unit until voltage has been correctly set. Do not plug power cable into AC
power until voltage has been correctly set.
4. INSTALLATION & CONNECTION
4.1 Mains Connection
Please ensure that the EQU Series Graphic Equalizer is set to the correct supply voltage before plugging
the power cord into the wall outlet , use the same fuse as marked on the fuse holder at the AC power
connection socket.
The mains connection of the EQU Series Graphic Equalizer is made by using the enclosed mains cable and
a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all of the international safety certification requirements.
4.2 Audio Connection
The EQU Series Graphic Equalizer presents with balanced XLR & 1/4" TRS and unbalanced RCA connectors,
and it can be interfaced by several ways to support a variety of applications without any signal loss. The
EQU Series Graphic Equalizer can be used on a single instrument by connecting to a mixing console's main
inserts, or on an entire mix "in-line" between a mixing console's outputs and a power amplifier.
- Wiring Configuration
Either the 1/4" TRS phone jack or the XLR connector can be wired in balanced and unbalanced modes, which
will be determined by the actual application status, please wire your system as the following wiring examples:
1/4"TRS jack
Unbalanced Input
1/4"TRS jack
Balanced Input
XLR Unbalanced Input
XLR Balanced Input

- In Line Connection
For these applications the EQU Series Graphic Equalizer provides 1/4" TRS connectors, XLR connectors
and RCA connectors to easily interface with most any professional audio device. Follow the configuration
examples below for your particular connection.

4.3. Rack Mounting
The most secure mounting is on a universal rack shelf available from various rack manufactures or your
music dealer. The EQU Series fits into one standard 19" rack unit of space, but the EQU131 and EQU215
will be 1H height, the EQU231TWIN will be 4H height, while the other four models: EQU2215, EQU131VU,
EQU231VU and EQU231LED will be 2H height. Please allow at least an additional 4" depth for the connectors
on the rear panel. Be sure that there is enough air space around the unit for sufficient ventilation and please
do not place the EQU Series on high temperature devices such as power amplifiers etc. to avoid overheating.

5. APPLICATION
5.1 The Sound Frequency
In recording studios as well as stage or radio plays, the EQU Series Graphic Equalizer will be your
valuable sound tool to modify the frequency "contour " of a sound .but first of all , you should clearify the
typical frequency of each instrument and voice, so that can you obtain nice results in terms of sound
characterization. The tables on the following pages give you an idea of specific frequencies and their
acoustic significance.

5.2 Equalizer In Sound Reinforcement Systems
The EQU Series Graphic Equalizers can be used in the sound reinforcement systems to :
Eliminate unwanted sounds, such as the 60Hz Hum noise.
Shape the sound by changing the frequency response of the track.
Special effects like telephone sounds are done by cutting off the low end to 200Hz and the high end
to 6KHz.
Allow you to modify the sound of the instrument if put EQU Series Equalizer in line with a musical
instrument. you can brighten the sound, and body to a thin sounding instrument, or you can give the
sound a totally different character.
Fix a track that does not sound quite right, put the EQU Series Equalizer in an effects send and return
it to the mix bus.
The following connection is probably most common field of application:
- Line Instrument
The EQU Series Graphic Equalizer can be used on an entire mix "In-line" between a instrument outputs
and a power amplifier, and this is the basic application in the PA system to offer precise Equalization
control.
