These switches determine the frequencies the gain knobs on the front panel will affect. Setting a switch on one of the 5 bands on top of the equalizer permits the corresponding control on the front panel to raise or lower the gain at that frequency.

Allows you to adjust the left and right channel input sensitivity to match the output level from your line or auxiliary source.

This switch selects the aux or line inputs.

Turning the controls clockwise increases the level of the sound at the frequency that you have set on the EQ’s top panel. Counter-clockwise reduces the level at that frequency. Choose the settings which best match your system and your prefered audio response.

Turning this control clockwise increases the subwoofer channel level.

By rotating this selector you can choose any crossover frequency from 40Hz to 400Hz. Turning the control clockwise permits more upper bass to travel through the sub channel.

The Volume adjusts the total output level. Fader adjusts the output balance between the front and rear amplifiers.

This indicator lights up when the unit is properly powered, grounded, and the remote power lead has power to it.

When the “DEF” switch is in the on position the equalizer functions are bypassed. Depressing the “DEF” switch again will restore the equalizer’s operation.

RCA cables are used to connect your car stereo head unit, CD player, or other source to either the line or aux inputs.

1. Connect the red wire to the car battery or other power source.

2. Connect the orange wire to the power antenna activating wire of the car stereo.

3. Connect the black wire to the car’s chassis for the proper ground connection.

wiring

signal processors

Connect 12V DC from a constant battery source to a +12V slip-on spade terminal and install a one (1) amp fuse in line.

Connect the signal processor’s GROUND to a good chassis ground, near where the unit is mounted, or to the case of the head unit.

Connect the signal processor’s REMOTE TURN-ON lead to the remote turnon lead out of the head unit, and install a 1/2 amp fuse in line. (A relay should be used if turning on more than one component, such as EQ’s, crossovers or amplifiers.)

Connect stereo RCA cables from the head’s left and right front outputs to the left and right inputs of the signal processor.

Connect stereo RCA cables from the left and right outputs, (and low, mid and high outputs if applicable), of the signal processor to the left and right inputs of your amplifier(s) or additional signal processor(s).

Turn the unit on, and adjust the input gain on the signal processor to match the output of the head unit (1/2, or at center position, is about 1 V). Be careful not to overdrive the input of your amplifier(s) or signal processor(s). Use clip detectors to adjust output.

Adjust each of the crossover or equalizer controls to achieve the desired sound characteristics.

troubleshooting

signal processors

If you experience....

Signal Processor does not turn on.

Level of sound is low.

Background noise is too high.

Check that:

• Remote Turn-On wire has 12V

• 12V wire has 12V

• Ground wire is properly connected

• Wiring is not loose or cables misconnected/disconnected

• RCA cables are not faulty.

• Wiring is not loose or cables misconnected/disconnected

• RCA cables are not faulty.

precautions

Enjoy your system, but use it wisely and safely!

• Never drive with the volume raised so high you cannot hear what is occuring in traffic around you.

• Be aware that repeated exposure to excessive volume levels can permanently damage

your hearing!

• Keep all electronics away from moisture, dust, extreme heat or extreme vibrations.

• Lanzar Audio products are capable of sound pressure levels in excess of 150 dB.

Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100 dB may cause permanent loss of hearing. Use common sense and PRACTICE SAFE SOUND.
