SETTING UP THE S curve 131

Setting up your S curve 131 Graphic Equalizer is a simple procedure which takes only a few minutes:

1.Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) and decide where the unit is to be physically placed—it can be used free-standing or mounted in a standard 19" rack (The S curve 131 requires only a single rack space).

2.Make sure the power to all mixers and amplifiers in your audio system is off. On the front panel of the S curve 131, place the Bypass switche to it’s out (off) position and set the Main Level slider to it’s bottom-most “OFF” setting.

3.Set all Equalizer sliders to their flat (“0”) center detented position.

4.The S curve 131 can be used either as an “in-line” device, as an insert device (in conjunction with mixer insert points), or in an effects send-return loop. The illustrations on pages 8-10 show each of these typical configurations. Choose the configuration that is best for your application and then begin by making the S curve 131 input connections, using either the XLR or 1/4" TRS connectors on the rear panel. WARNING: Both the XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs should not be connected simultaneously, or loading problems may result.

5.Next, make the S curve 131 output connections, using the XLR or 1/4" TRS connectors on the rear panel. If required, connections can be made simultaneously to both.

6.Plug in the supplied AC connector and connect it to any standard AC socket. Because of the spe- cial relay power-on circuitry built into the S curve 131, you can even plug it into the same power strip that other audio devices (such as a mixing console) are connected to. You can then turn on all devices at once with the single power strip on-off switch, without generating speaker “thumps”.
