You have purchased one of the finest professional parametric equalizers on the market today. This unit was developed using the expertise of professional sound engineers and working musicians. You will find your new NADY AUDIO PEQ-5B has superior performance and greater flexibility than any other parametric equalizer in its price range. Please read this manual carefully to get the most out of your new unit. [. . . ] If this happens, reduce the input level as necessary with the INPUT control. ) 3. MASTER AUDIO IN/OUT SWITCH WITH LED INDICATOR This is used to enable/disable the entire equalizer section in the audio path, allowing A/B comparisons between the processed and unprocessed signals. The switch uses a relaycontrolled hard-bypass function, so that if it is not pressed in or if the unit is switched off, the inputs are directly connected to the outputs. The switch also selects the input or output signal for display on the INPUT/OUTPUT LEVEL meter. MASTER INPUT CONTROL Use this CONTROL TO DETERMINE THE INPUT LEVEL TO THE UNIT. MASTER LOW CUT CONTROL Use this control to adjust the lower cutoff frequency of the PEQ-5B. The high pass filter can be tuned from 10 to 400 Hz. In the 10 Hz position the signal passes unchanged. MASTER HIGH CUT CONTROL Use this control to adjust the upper cutoff frequency of the unit. The low-pass filter can be tuned from 2. 5 to 30 KHz. In the 30 KHz position the signal passes unchanged. BAND LEVEL CONTROLS Use this control to determine the amount of level boost/cut for each band. BAND IN/OUT SWITCHES WITH LED INDICATORS Use these switches to enable/disable specific bands in the audio path. BANDWIDTH CONTROLS Use these controls to determine the "Q" or slope of the filter in each band. Settings range from 0. 03 (Q=43) to 2 octaves (Q=0. 67). BAND FREQUENCY CONTROLS Use these controls to select the filter's center frequency in each band. This can be any frequency within that band's frequency range. 6 15 14 12 11 115~230V FUSE T250mAL 250V OUTPUTS CAUTION: ATTENTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME TYPE AND RATING OF FUSE UTILISER UN FUSIVLE DE RECHANGE DE NENE TYPE TIP/PIN 2 RING/PIN 3 SLEEVE/PIN 1 INPUTS TIP/PIN 2 RING/PIN 3 SLEEVE/PIN 1 AC INPUT MADE IN TAIWAN NADY SYSTEMS, INC.

BALANCED SIGNAL INPUT JACKS (1/4" TRS & XLR) These 1/4" TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) and XLR jacks are wired for balanced input signals (0. 775V=0dBm, 15K Ohms) and signal polarity is Tip/Pin 2 = Cold (+), Ring/Pin 3 = Hot (-), and Sleeve/Pin 1 = Ground. BALANCED SIGNAL OUTPUT JACK (1/4" TRS & XLR) These 1/4" TRS and XLR jacks provide a balanced signal output (600 Ohms) and are wired with the same signal polarity as the Input Jacks above. POWER CONNECTOR The IEC cord connector is used to connect the AC power source to your power amplifier. CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE THE CENTER GROUNDING PIN. [. . . ] Use the IN/OUT switch for a direct A/B comparison as a guide for proper level adjustment. 9 2. Use in Sound Reinforcement In typical live sound applications, EQ's are used to increase the overall volume or "punch" of the sound (while eliminating feedback), enhance the natural "musicality" of the mix, and improve the intelligibility of speech. Understanding that there are always compromises that must be made, care must be taken so that the overall effect of the equalization is an improvement, not deterioration, of the overall sound. Sometimes, hard decisions must be made between priorities for achieving the desired result. [. . . ]
