Thank you for purchasing the CADENCE Model CEQ735 7 Band Graphic Equalizer. With proper installation and care the CEQ735
will provide many years of high performance and reliability.
The CEQ735 is intended for those who value the acoustic bene ts of a multi-band graphic equalizer coupled with the power of
controlling four ampli er channels and two independent sub woofer channels directly from the automobile dash board.
The CEQ735 is a passive pre-amp equalizer requiring external ampli cation to power speakers. It provides 2 channels of
front output, 2 channels of rear output, and 2 channels of subwoofer output.
GRAPHIC EQUALIZATION
Every car interior produces at least one sharp peak or dip in the frequency response that results in highly unnatural sound
reproduction. But the exact frequency and its level of intensity depend on unpredictable factors such as the size and volume of the
interior, type of material used for the interior (cloth, leather, vinyl), whether a window is open or how many passengers are onboard.
Because of these variables, a multi-band graphic equalizer is necessary to be able to control the particular frequency without unneces-
sarily a ecting others. The CEQ735 provides the adjustments and controls to get the most from your stereo system. The automotive
environment provides a challenging place to achieve good sound quality and the equalizer and sub-woofer crossover controls with fader
and master volume level controls work together to overcome these common problems. The controls are easy to use with backlighting and
rubber covered knobs. The adjustable input sensitivity allows you to match the level of bothmain and auxiliary inputs.
When increasing the boost of any frequency you are actually increasing the output voltage of the equalizer to the ampli er. Please
be sure that your ampli er has enough "head room" and is capable of handling the source increase without clipping. It is also
important that your speakers are capable of reproducing the frequency range which you have chosen to boost without being over
driven. For example, do not attempt to boost a 60Hz signal to a small midrange driver, this will only cause the midrange to burn
out. The proper procedure for a successful installation is to incorporate either an electronic crossover or passive crossovers to help
control which frequencies will actually reach the proper speakers.
For basic installations in a vehicle with larger speakers in the rear and smaller speakers in the front, utilize the fader control to
adjust the amount of power reaching the speakers. By turning the fader more to the rear position, more power will be distributed
to the rear speakers, thereby protecting the smaller speakers in the front of the vehicle.
