  • Page 4: Overview

    OVERVIEW The ART EQ300 Series of graphic equalizers have been designed and engineered to extremely high standards for audio performance and functionality. These innovative, high-quality equalizers are perfect for virtually any audio application where precision frequency tailoring, reliable performance, rugged design and extremely silent processing is important.
  • Page 5: General Information

    INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS The EQ300 series graphic equalizers have three sets of input and output connectors wired in parallel: 1/4" phone, XLR, and RCA connectors. Only one of the three inputs should be used per channel. Any combination of output connectors may be used.
  • Page 6: Chassis Grounding

    If the EQ300 series equalizer is mounted in a grounded rack of equipment, the ground to the ground- ing screw of the equalizer may be lifted to prevent multiple ground paths, which may cause a ground loop to occur.

  • Page 8: Hi Pass Filter (Low-Cut Frequency Control) (Eq351 And Eq355 Only)

    HI PASS FILTER (LOW-CUT FREQUENCY CONTROL) (EQ351 and EQ355 only) To cut down on unwanted low frequency signals, this control determines the roll-off frequency of the Hi-Pass Filter (HPF). The roll-off frequency can be adjusted from 10Hz to 250Hz by turning this knob. Because of its high roll-off slope, the HPF can be efficiently used to cut down hum and low frequency noise from preceding instruments, or to reduce low frequency resonances, when speakers are installed in an enclosed acoustic environment.
