(3)EQUALIZER SECTION

These calibrated, detented controls adjust the amount of cut or boost at their respective frequencies. They are adjustable from 18 dB cut to 12 dB boost (15 dB cut to 15 dB boost on the 215B). For units equipped with FLS, the LED at the top of each band will illuminate as an indication of feedback at that frequency.

(4)LOW-CUT FILTER

This switch activates the low-cut filter that rejects frequencies below 40 Hz. Frequency roll off is 18 dB per octave with the switch engaged. This filter will operate even with the BYPASS (5) switch engaged. The adjacent red LED indicates activation.

(5)BYPASS

This switch allows the signal to bypass the unit with the exception of the LOW-CUT FILTER

(4). When this switch is engaged, the signal is routed from INPUT (10 and 11) though the low-cut filter to output (8 and 9).

(6)POWER

This 2-position rocker switch applies mains power to the unit when in the ON position. The adjacent green LED indicates mains power activation.

(7)IEC MAINS CONNECTOR

This is a standard IEC power connector. An AC mains cord having the appropriate AC plug and ratings for the intended operating voltage is included in the carton.

Never break off the ground pin on any equipment. It is provided for your safety. If the outlet used does not have a ground pin, a suitable grounding adapter should be used and the third wire should be grounded properly. To prevent the risk of shock or fire hazard, always be sure that the equalizer and all associated equipment is properly grounded.

NOTE: FOR UK ONLY

If the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: (1) The wire that is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E, the earth symbol, colored green, or colored green and yellow. (2) The wire that is colored blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or the color black. (3) The wire that is colored brown must be connected to the terminal that lis marked with the letter L or the color red.
