- Page 3 THANK YOU FOR USING THIS KLARK TEKNIK PRODUCT To obtain maximum performance from this precision electronic product, please study these instructions carefully. Installation and operating the equaliser is not complicated, but the flexibility provided by its operating features merits familiarisation with its controls and connections. This unit has been prepared to comply with the power supply requirements that exist in your location.
- Page 4 If, however, the unit shows any signs of damage, notify the transportation company without delay. Only you, the consignee, may institute a claim against the carrier for damage during transportation. If necessary, contact your supplier or as a last resort, your Klark Teknik importing agent, who will fully co-operate under such circumstances.
- Page 5 For many years Klark Teknik has been at the forefront of equaliser design, and have carried our detailed research into optimum filter response characteristics, including their sonic performance.

- Page 17 The Use of Graphic Equalisers Equalisers may be used for corrective or creative purposes and the Klark Teknik DN360 is applicable in both live sound and studio applications. For studio use, a pair of 1/3 octave equalisers might typically be used to compensate for deficiencies in the control room acoustics and in this instance, the precision allowed by 30 bands is a great advantage.
- Page 18 In live sound applications, graphic equalisation is almost always applied separately to the stage monitor of foldback system to reduce the level of those frequencies that would otherwise cause feedback problems. These problems came about due to peaks in the frequency response curves of the monitor speaker systems, monitor positioning, and sound reflected from the stage walls.

- Page 20 Equalising a Sound System When equalising a sound system you should always remember just what it is you are trying to achieve. Two fundamental reasons for equalization are:- 1. To increase the potential gain or power output of the system before feedback. 2.
- Page 21 If the Real Time Analyser you are using is the Klark Teknik DN6000 you have a powerful averaging capability which means that averaging the response throughout the coverage area becomes very much easier. The response displayed by the analyser should also become smoother as local fluctuations are averaged out whilst persistent peaks and dips clearly stand out and show where adjustment is truly required.
- Page 22 Inserting the Equaliser in the Signal Chain The exact point of insertion of an equaliser into the signal chain will very much depend on the task in hand e.g. mixer channel / line input, group insert point, group output, auxiliary send or between another signal processing device and the mixer or power amplifier, etc.
