Connecting to equipment with XLR inputs and outputs:
If you are connecting the PEQ-450 to a product with XLR balanced inputs and outputs, you will need to convert this signal to a TRS balanced connector. Make sure that Pin 2 of the XLR connector is connected to the Tip of the TRS adapter, and Pin 3 is connected to the Sleeve.
Tip: Don't use line transformers: Many XLR-to-1/4" adapters sold at electronics stores are NOT adapters, but transformers (and very low quality transformers at that). Don't use these on the output of the PEQ-450—they're unnecessary and generally sound awful because they don't have the headroom to handle the PEQ-450's output. Get a hard-wired adapter or cable from your professional audio dealer, or make one yourself from components.
Dual Channel Operation
Remember that the PEQ-450 is a dual-channel stereo equalizer. That means that channels A and B can be used as two independent stereo equalizers. It also means that audio from one channel does not affect the other. Remember to plug audio into the Left or Right input of the channel you are using.
