CHAPTER 1:
NOW LET’S GET STARTED!
HARDWARE CONTROLS — FRONT PANEL
Bypass Switch: Located on the bottom left hand side of the faceplate is the
bypass toggle switch. This switch engages or disengages the equalizer sec-
tion of the EQP-WA. By design, it is not a true bypass; but merely takes the EQ
circuitry out of the audio path. More on this is discussed later in the manual.
Power Switch and indicator bulb: Located on the bottom right hand side
of the faceplate is the mains power toggle switch. This turns the unit
on, and power will be indicated by the adjacent power indicator bulb.
LOW FREQUENCY CONTROL
Boost and Cut - Low Frequency selector: this rotary switch selects a fre-
quency in the low to lower midrange bands for boost, cut, or even simulta-
neous boost and cut to create a desired texture e ect to the selected band.
‘Boost’ (low frequency): this controls the amount of gain
applied to the band selected by the low frequency selector
with a range from zero (unity gain) to +12db.
‘Cut’ (low frequency): this controls the amount of attenuation
applied to the band selected by the low frequency selector,
with a range from zero (unity gain) to -18db.
The Low Frequency Control Section.

HIGH FREQUENCY CONTROL
Bandwidth: this knob varies the width of the high frequency boost from a
relatively sharp cue (aff ecting the least surrounding frequencies) to a somewhat
broader cue (aff ecting a larger area of bandwidth). A sharp cue is considered
useful for more surgical work, such as boosting or cutting a specifi c o verhead
piece or octave of an instrument; while a broader cue is more natural and
musical, for gentler tone shaping of instruments or program material.
Boost knob: This knob controls the amount of boost applied by the
high frequency boost selector, from zero (unity gain) to +18db.
Boost High Frequency Selector: This rotary switch selects
the high frequency to be boosted by the boost knob.
Cut knob: This knob controls the amount of attenuation applied by
the high frequency cut selector, from zero (unity gain) to -14db.
Cut High Frequency Selector: This rotary switch selects the
high frequency to be attenuated by the cut knob.
