4. The D2500 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 illus-
trations on pages 20 - 22 show each of these typical
configurations.
Choose the configuration that is
best for your application and then begin by making
the D2500 input connections, using the XLR con-
nectors on the rear panel.
5. Next, make the D2500 output connections to your
power amp or active speakers, using the XLR con-
nectors on the rear panel.
6. Plug in the supplied AC cord and connect it to any
standard AC socket.

D2500 Quick Start
SETTING UP THE D2500 to work in MANUAL mode
The D2500 is simple to use. In fact, you can use it just
like a standard
analog graphic equalizer by simply set-
ting the unit to MANUAL mode.
Setting up your D2500
Graphic Equalizer to run in MANUAL mode 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-stand-
ing or mounted in a standard 19" rack.
2. Make sure the power to all mixers and amplifiers in
your audio system is off. On the rear panel of the
D2500, place the Power switch to it’s OFF position
and set the Main Level
slider, located
on the front
panel, to it’s bottom-most “OFF” setting.
3. Set all Equalizer sliders to their flat (“0”) center
detented position.
