MQ 302

STEREO GRAPHIC EQUALIZER

QUICK START

If this is your first equalizer, please do yourself and your speakers a favor and read at least the first five pages. “An

ounce of prevention...,” and all that.

The MQ 302 is a stereo equalizer, so adjusting any slider affects both Channels simultaneously. Begin by setting all

sliders to their center detent (0 dB), and the INPUT LEVEL to 8. Try to make more cuts than boosts. After equalizing, use

the EQ switch to compare equalized and non-equalized signal. While EQ is switched to ACTIVE (out), adjust the INPUT

LEVEL to the same level as when EQ is switched to BYPASS (in).

You may use either the XLR or ¼" connectors for Inputs or Outputs. Connect only one INPUT type per channel. The

XLR and ¼" TRS inputs do not sum. You may, however, use both types of OUTPUTS simultanesously if desired.
