Thanks for choosing NVX...

Congratulations on purchasing your equalizer. Sound excellence is our most import­ant objective and your selection of this component tells us you desire to achieve the
same goal.

This manual has been prepared to help you maximize your enjoyment of this unit.
To fully enjoy the exceptional performance this product is capable of, it is recommended

that all signal sources, ampliers, and speakers be of the highest quality possible.

This unit is one of the rst production pre ampliers to incorporate a bandwidth

parametric equalizer with 12dB boost or cut on each of its seven bands. It can
compensate for the seven acoustic anomalies unique to the automotive environ­ment. This unit easily becomes the “Mission Control Center” of any high-end
automotive system.

Features

• Seven equalization bands (50Hz, 125Hz, 315Hz, 2.2KHz, 6kHz, and 16 kHz),

each frequency adjustable from -12 to +12dB (-15 to +15dB for subwoofer
frequencies)

• Subwoofer output uses a built-in 18dB per octave electronic crossover xed at

60Hz or 90Hz.

• Three stereo RCA outputs to drive front, rear, and subwoofer audio ampliers

• An auxiliary stereo RCA input for use with portable devices, such as an MP3

player or DVD player

• Separate controls for master volume, subwoofer volume (sub level), front/rear

fader, and selection of main or auxiliary inputs

• Extended frequency response from 20 Hz to 30 kHz with exceptional 100 dB

signal- to-noise performance

• Gold-plated RCA connectors to ensure the best audio signal output

• ISO mounting holes and removable trim ring for custom installation

Precautions

• Do not operate this product in ways other than those described in this manual.

• Do not disassemble or modify this unit.

• Do not pour liquid or poke foreign objects into the unit. Water and humidity may

video source, and may void the warranty.

Installation

Installation of mobile audio and video components requires experience with a
variety of mechanical and electrical procedures. Although this manual provides
general installation and operation instructions, it does not show the exact
installation methods for your particular vehicle.
If you do not have the required knowledge and experience to successfully complete
the installation, consult an authorized NVX dealer about professional installation
options.

Controls

Operations

Setting system volume

• Turn the master volume and subwoofer level controls to their minimum settings.

• Turn the source unit on and increase the volume until you hear distortion.

• Reduce the volume to just below the distortion point

(approximately 80% of full volume).
This is the maximum usable musical signal for the source unit. Turning the volume
beyond this point increases noise and distortion without increasing the musical
signal.

Note

Once you set the source unit volume, do not change it. Always use the volume
control on the XEQ7 as the master (main) volume control. The XEQ7 has better
electronics, a higher sound to noise ratio, and is more linear than the volume
settings on any source unit available.
