Unpack and inspect the RPQ160 box and package. If obvious physical damage is noticed, contact the carrier immediately to make a damage claim. [. . . ] INPUT: Balanced XLR and balanced 1/4" and RCA jacks for connection to the output of a mixing board, instrument, or other device with the signal to be processed. LOW SHELF: High Pass Filter control; adjusts the amount of low frequency rolloff from 500 Hz down to 16Hz for the entire output of the RPQ160. HIGH SHELF: Low Pass Filter control; adjusts the amount of high frequency rolloff from 1 kHz up to 20 kHz for the entire output of the RPQ160. NOTE: THERE IS NO BYPASS SWITCH FOR THE LOW OR HIGH SHELF FILTERS - SIMPLY TURN THE LOW SHELF COMPLETELY COUNTERCLOCKWISE, AND THE HIGH SHELF COMPLETELY CLOCKWISE TO BYPASS THESE CIRCUITS. LEVEL: Adjusts the overall signal level of the RPQ160. CONNECTION Turn off all equipment before making any connections. Mount the RPQ160 in a properly grounded rack, and make sure the rack is properly ventilated. Ambient temperatures should not exceed 113 degrees F (45 degrees C) when the equipment is in use. Connect your RPQ160 using XLR, RCA or 1/4" connectors. Connect the AC power cord to a properly grounded AC outlet. Route the AC power cord away from audio lines. NOTE: The following three descriptions are identical for all four bands of equalization. FREQUENCY: Selects the frequency to be boost or cut. The band frequency ranges are listed below: Band 1: 70 Hz to 1. 5 kHz Band 2: 150 Hz to 3 kHz Band 3: 300 Hz to 10 kHz Band 4: 600 Hz to 20 kHz WIDTH: (Q): Varies the shape or width of the equalization being boost or cut from . 3 to 3 octaves wide. LEVEL: Boosts or cuts the signal of the indicated band from -15 to +15 dB. Power Switch: Applies power to the RPQ160 when the unit is connected to a properly grounded ac outlet. The Power LED will light when the RPQ160 is on. OPERATION The two shelving filters are designed to roll off the frequency response of the Signal; the Low Shelf cuts the frequencies 3 dB at the control's indicated setting and rolls off below, and the High Shelf cuts the frequencies 3 dB at the indicated setting and rolls of above. The Low Shelf Sweep Diagram shows the response curve of the Low Self filter at its minimum and maximum setting. OPERATION Cont. Shown below is the typical symmetrical response curve of a swept parametric band filter with the Frequency control set at 1 kHz, the Level set at +15 and -15 dB, and the Octave control set at . 3, . 5, 1, and 3. [. . . ] When coupled with a spectrum analyzer, the RPQ160 can match exactly the properties of typical acoustic resonances and reflections, and make immediate improvements to any installed system's amplitude and phase response. Live applications include equalizing trouble spots where a mix may be muddy, too harsh, flat, and even eliminate feedback precisely without affecting the flavor of the overall sound. Recording studios benefit from the RPQ160's precise equalization in notching out trouble frequencies that need to be removed, or by re-equalizing a final mix. [. . . ]
