502A to be operated as full-range
or bi-amped systems. The equal­ization can be turned off if desired.

Balanced inputs and ‘daisy chain’
outputs use removable barrier
block (shown in Figure 1.1) or XLR
connectors for quick solderless
connection.

Feature Summary

❏ Defeatable Bose loudspeaker

equalization for each channel.

❏ Full-range or bi-amplified equal-

ization curves provided.

❏ Separate ground lift jumper for

both input and ‘daisy chain’ out­put.

2 Facilities

A. DIP Switches

These DIP switches select the EQ
setting for the various Bose loud­speaker models with which the

P.I.P.-BEQ

can be used.

Mating solderless plugs are in­cluded for barrier block connectors.
The plugs are labelled for correct
wiring.

B. Model 802 Jumper

This jumper is used with the DIP
switches to select the model 802 re­sponse.

C. Daisy Chain Jumper

A jumper block is provided to con­trol the signal that feeds the daisy
chain outputs. When the jumpers
are moved to EQ position, the
daisy chain outputs receive the
equalized signal. If the jumpers
are moved toward the Bypass po­sition, the daisy chained outputs
receive the unaltered input signal.

D. Daisy Chain Ground
Lift Jumper

Remove this jumper to isolate the
daisy chain output ground from
the chassis ground. Isolation is
through an 82-ohm resistor and 0.1­microfarad capacitor.

E. Output Connector

Balanced 3-pin barrier block or
XLR connectors are used for daisy
chain output to other equipment.

F. Input Connector

Balanced 3-pin barrier block or
XLR connectors are used for input
to each channel. Mating solder­less plugs are also provided for
barrier block connectors. The
plugs are labelled for correct wir­ing.

G. Input Ground Lift

Jumper

Remove this jumper to isolate the
input ground from the chassis
ground. Isolation is provided with
an 82-ohm resistor and 0.1-micro­farad capacitor.

H. Equalization Jumper

The Equalization Jumper enables
or disables the loudspeaker
equalization network for each
channel. These jumpers do NOT
affect the daisy chain ouputs.

I. Model 502B Jumper

This jumper is moved to the “SUB”
position to select the 502B
(subwoofer) response curve.
