This procedure also results in a polarity reverse which means that the 1/4" outputs will reverse phase both in bypass and EQ. This may not be problem but you should be aware of this. It is definately better to keep PC or "polarity correct" in general. If it is a problem, you may be able to correct the polarity simply by hitting the "phase button" on the corresponding channels on the console or
Here are the DIP SWITCHES. There are two switches on each little package or pair and two packages or pairs on each card and two cards (channel one and channel two). The two switches should always be opposite - one ON and one OFF. UP is ON. When (TOP PAIRS) the switches closest to the front panel are UP and ON and (BOTTOM PAIRS) the switches closest to the front panel are DOWN and OFF the 1/4" jacks are set up for +4 dBu levels.When (TOP PAIRS) the switches closest to the front panel are DOWN and OFF and (BOTTOM PAIRS) the switches closest to the front panel are UP and ON the 1/4" jacks are set up for
5)Removing individual EQ cards: You have to remove the top perforated panel first. Each card has a short ribbon cable from the toggle switch board to the EQ card. You have to pull the ribbon connector from the EQ card before you pull out the card. Once the ribbon is free at the EQ card end, unscrew the two allen keys holding the oblong black anodized panel. Gently pull the card towards you, being sure the ribbon cable is not catching on any of the EQ card components. To return an EQ card into its slot, do the procedure in reverse. The only difference is that you need to watch the back of the card and align the 14 pins into the connector and not offset.
Considering there are no active components on these EQ cards it is unlikely they will need to be repaired or removed. There are a few minor differences between the 4 EQ cards and you should not change the order. These differences involve the "voicing" to the 22Hz, 33Hz, 16K and 27K shelves. There is a possibility (plan) for Manley to introduce optional cards for the Massive Passive at some point in the future. We have discussed,"Mastering stepped cards", "Active Constant Q cards", "Clipper Cards", "Notch Filter cards" and others. Due to the enormous interest in the "Mastering stepped cards" and they will be the first to be done, however, remember that it is not possible in this design to really have constant 1dB or 1/2dB steps because the step size is always "scaled" to the bandwidth. If we use an 11 position switch set up for 1/2 dB steps at the narrowest bandwidth, it results in only +/- 5.5 dB of available range and becomes less than
The Massive Passive has been planned as an "EQ platform" that should accomodate special functions for a variety of professional needs. There is no
