Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Citronic EX-22-B enhancer/exciter. The aim of our audio processing range is to offer
cost-effective, high performance sound sculpting tools for live sound reinforcement and installation applications.
Citronic enhancer/exciter units are set out in a familiar format with a comprehensive range of controls for trouble­free use.

The EX-22-B comprises a dual multi-band enhancer/exciter with an integral surround processor for correcting and
rebuilding frequency components of the audio signal.

Connection to the EX-22-B is via balanced or unbalanced 6.3mm jack or XLR connectors allowing flexible linking
options.

This unit has been built to Citronic’s exacting standards using high grade circuit boards and components housed in a

heavy duty steel chassis casing to give long term, reliable service.

Installation

Set the EX-22-B into a 1U space in a rack, ensuring enough depth to contain the unit and any connectors attached
to it. Secure the front panel with rack screws and nuts to hold in place and stop the unit slipping. Plug the included
power cable into the rear panel IEC connector and connect to the mains. Be sure to switch the EX-22-B on before
switching on the power amplifiers to avoid loud thumping sounds through the speakers and switch the amplifiers
off before switching off the EX-22-B. The unit draws relatively little current and it is recommended to be left
powered whilst in the audio chain as switching can cause loud thumping sounds through the speakers.

This enhancer/exciter will not require special venting requirements as there is little heat generated compared to
amps etc. However, performance of this product may be impaired by exposure to continuous high temperatures
generated by adjacent equipment. Also, this unit is very well shielded against electromagnetic interference but high
levels in close proximity should be avoided. Nevertheless, spacing in between high power amplifiers is
recommended if possible.

Connection to each channel is served by either jack or XLR for both inputs and outputs. Use either jack or XLR but
never both for any input or output. For unbalanced and balanced connections, follow the diagrams below.
