    LCPQ 4040 1.1 Overview The LCPQ 4040 is a transformer balanced, high performance all-discrete equalizer with four passive RLC sections in cascade configuration. Each band has a variable level control ranging from -12dB to +12dB (or -6dB to +6dB). The four bands of equalization offer selectable Shelving/ Bell on the first and fourth band and selectable HiQ/ LowQ on the second and third band.

    1.3 Front Panel SHELVING/ BELL SWITCH – This switch toggles between Shelving and Bell shape. When the switch is pressed, the Bell shape is active. OFF – When the FREQ. rotary switch is in the OFF position, the band is not engaged (i.e. the filter circuit and the LEVEL control are inactive). However, the audio signal still travels through the discrete circuit and the audio transformers.

    1.4 Rear Panel 6-PIN DC POWER SUPPLY INPUT – This input allows interconnection of the external supply (PS 230) required for the unit to operate. A 2-meter power supply cable is supplied with every unit. Pin out is as follows: Pin 1= Chassis Ground Pin 2= -28V (audio circuit) Pin 3= +28V (audio circuit) Pin 4= +24V (relay bypass system and bypass indicator)

    PS 230 2.1 Overview The PS 230 is a 3-rail linear power supply capable of powering two LCPQ 4040 units, housed in a robust enclosure. The unit provides ±28V DC for the audio circuit and +24V DC for the relay bypass system and the bypass indicator (LED). In order to cut the cost (and for the shake of simplicity), a lot of audio euquipment use a common power rail for the audio circuit and for other functions such as relays, LEDs, lamps, etc.

    2.3 Front Panel AC POWER SWITCH – This switch turns the unit ON and OFF. Make sure you do not plug (or unplug) the 6-pin DC cable between the power supply and the EQ unit while the unit (PS 230) is ON. Hot-plugging (i.e connecting the DC cable while the unit is powered on) may damage your equipment.

    2.4 Rear Panel 6-PIN DC POWER SUPPLY OUTPUTS – This output allows interconnection of the LCPQ 4040 unit. Up to two EQs can be connected to the power supply. Pin out is as follows: Pin 1= Chassis Ground Pin 2= -28V (audio circuit) Pin 3= +28V (audio circuit) Pin 4= +24V (relay bypass system and bypass indicator) Pin 5= 0V (reference for +24V)
