DESCRIPTION

The OMNITRONIC Equalizer is designed for professional application. The inputs and outputs are located on
the rear panel, the gain controls on the front panel.
The OMNITRONIC PEQ-131 is equipped with ¼" input and output jacks.

INSTALLATION

RACK MOUNTING

The equalizer is built for 19" racks/483mm. The minimum mounting depth is 220 mm. The height is 44 mm
only. You can fix the equalizer with four screws M6 in the rack.
When mounting the equalizer into a rack, please make sure that there is a proper air circulation.
Please make sure that there is enough space around the device so that the heated air can be passed on.
The rack should be provided with a cooling fan.
Be careful when mounting the equalizer into the rack. Put the heaviest devices into the lower part of the rack.
Be aware that fastening the equalizer with four screws on the front panel is not enough. In order to ensure
safety, additional fastening by using ground and side bars is necessary.
If racks are to be transported or used for mobile use, additionally fasten the devices by connecting the rear
brackets with the side or ground bars of the rack. In this way, the equalizer cannot be pushed backwards.
The front panel alone is not designed to absorb acceleration forces occuring during transportation.

INPUTS

A good cable run improves the sound quality remarkably. Input cables should be short and direct, since high
frequencies will be mostly be absorbed if the cables are unnecessarily long. Besides that a longer cable may
lead to humming and noise trouble. If long cable runs are unavoidable, you should use balanced cables.
The input of your OMNITRONIC PEQ-131 is equipped with a ¼" jack-socket.

OUTPUTS

The high damping factor of your equalizer supplies a clear sound reproduction. Unnecessarily long and thin
cables will influence the damping factor and thus the low frequencies in a negative way. In order to
safeguard good sound quality, the damping factor should lie around 50. The longer a cable has to be, the
thicker it should be.
The output of your OMNITRONIC PEQ-131 is equipped with a ¼" jack-socket.

CONNECTION TO THE MAINS

Connect the OMNITRONIC PEQ-131 only after having made sure that the right voltage (115/230 V) is
available. This device features a F 0,315 A, 250 V fuse.

STARTING UP

Make sure to power-up before your power amplifier is turned in order to avoid loud transients which could
damage your speakers or annoy your audience.
