1.Inputs - For unbalanced inputs, the signal should be on the + connection and the - connection tied to ground. A mono 1/4” plug used as an unbalanced connection will automatically be grounded. When using a stereo plug, XLR connector, or Euroblock for an unbalanced signal, the (-) input connection MUST be tied to ground.

2.Ashly Servo-Balanced Output - This output circuit is an active output which maintains a constant output level between the (+) and (-) output terminals, regardless of either terminal being connected to ground. This servo- balanced output provides an unchanged signal

without regard to ground.

8.Power – Switches the unit power on or off.

Installation

Use four screws and washers when rack mounting the Equalizer. For mobile use, the unit should be further secured as appropriate.

General Requirements

MQX Equalizers have specific physical, electrical and signal requirements for proper operation. These requirements will vary depending on your specific application, setup, and the settings on the Equalizer. When setting up and testing your system, please take special care to double check all connections and settings. Please refer to the specifications section of this manual for specific input, output and other figures.

AC Power

Your MQX equalizer should be connected to a standard 3-wire grounded electrical outlet supplying 100-240 Volts, 50-60 Hz. To reduce the risk of ground loop hum, connect all audio equipment to the same electrical power source. Removal of the ground pin is both unlawful and dangerous, as a potential shock hazard could result.

This unit will perform normally within the AC voltage range specified above. Voltages less than this, as found in “brown-out” conditions, may reduce performance. In the event of a blown fuse, replace only with same type fuse. No user serviceable parts are inside the chassis. Overall power consumption is less than 25 watts.

NOTE: The power switch does NOT isolate the appliance from mains. Make sure the mains power socket or an alternative disconnect device is near by and easily accessible. When the product is connected to mains, the line-filter and the input of the fuse are energized.
