Front-panel controls

• Power/Bypass — Turns EQ on; bypasss returns signal to flat (no EQ).
• Level/Output — Master output level control (adjusts overall EQ output to match head unit).
• 4-Channel Inputs/Outputs — Left/Right for front and rear (or two stereo sources).
• Band sliders — Typically 7 bands per stereo channel (frequencies commonly: 63 Hz, 160 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 6.3 kHz, 16 kHz). Each slider adjusts В±12 dB (confirm exact range on unit).
• Frequency labels — Marked under each slider.

Basic setup and gain staging

1. Start with all band sliders at center (0 dB) and Level set to unity/mid position.
2. Turn on head unit, play familiar music at moderate volume.
3. Adjust Level so there is no clipping or distortion at the amplifier input (watch LEDs/clip indicators on downstream gear).
4. Make small boosts/cuts (±3–6 dB) rather than extreme settings; prefer cuts to reduce harshness.
5. Use bypass to compare EQ’d vs flat signal.
