The RANGE switch allows you to switch over between maximum boost/cut in each frequency band, from 12 dB to 6 dB (switch pressed).

These are the 31 SLIDE CONTROLS for each frequency band. If set to flat (“0”), there is no frequency response processing. To boost/cut a specific frequency move the corresponding slide control upwards or downwards respectively.

FUSE HOLDER / VOLTAGE SELECTOR. Please make sure that your local voltage matches the voltage indicated on the unit, before you attempt to connect and operate the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO. Blown fuses may only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating. Some models allow for inserting the fuse holder in two different positions, in order to switch over from 230 V to 115 V operation, and vice versa. Please note that for 115 V operation outside Europe, you need to use a fuse of a higher rating (see chapter 4 “INSTALLATION”).

Use the enclosed power cord to connect the unit to the mains.
