3. This product should be used only with a cart or stand that will keep it level and stable and prevent wobbling.
4. This product, in combination with headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an audiologist.
5. The product should be positioned so that proper ventilation is maintained.
6. The product should be located away from heat sources such as radiators, heat vents, or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
7. The product should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the product. Replace the fuse only with one of the specified type, size, and correct rating.
8. The power supply cord should: (1) be undamaged, (2) never share an outlet or extension cord with other devices so that the outlet’s or extension cord’s power rating is exceeded, and (3) never be left plugged into the outlet when not being used for a long period of time.
9. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall into, and liquids are not spilled through, the enclosure’s openings.
10. The product should be serviced by qualified service personnel if: A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged. B. Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the product. C. The product has been exposed to rain. D. The product does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance. E. The product has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
11. Do not attempt to service the product beyond what is described in the user-maintenance instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
ATTENTION: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE NE PAS OUVRIR
An equilateral triangle enclosing a lightning flash/arrowhead symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure which may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
An equilateral triangle enclosing an exclamation point is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and service instructions in the literature enclosed with this unit.
PEQ-5B Parametric Equalizer
With its advanced state-of-the-art features and versatile utility, the PEQ-5B five-band parametric equalizer is a rugged work­horse, designed for long-haul reliability in the studio and live sound reinforcement applications.
•15dB boost/cut per band
• Constant-Q, state-variable filter circuitry for precision control of tone coloration
• Parallel phase filters for minimal phase shifting
• Tunable high and low-cut filters for removing floor rumble, tape hiss, etc..
• Each band independently switchable and adjustable in bandwidth (.03 to 2 octaves wide), allowing a range of adjustment from tight notching to extreme boost/attenuation by band overlapping
• Constant-Q state variable filters for maximum filter stability
• Servo-balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs
• Bypass switches on each channel with LED status indicators
• Highly accurate 12-segment LED switchable Input/Output meter
• Failsafe relay with auto-bypass during power failure
• Single rack space (1U) rugged metal housing for reliability
• IEC power cord socket for AC operation with internal shielded power supply, external fuse, and ~115V (60Hz) / ~230V
