    This switch engages or disengages the equalizer sec- tion of the eqp-WA. by design, it is not a true bypass; but merely takes the eq circuitry out of the audio path. more on this is discussed later in the manual.

  • Page 8 chapTer 3: a BiT of hiSTory in the beginning... most early recording consoles had very primitive equalization capabilities, often consisting of only two knobs. These consisted of either a simple ‘tone control’ type shelving equalizer, or a ‘low’ and ‘hi’ control knob with a fixed frequency center.
  • Page 9 enGLiSh warraNty Now Let’s get started techNicaL specs What followed next was the innovation that brought the use of eq into the a Bit of history mainstream, known as active equalization. ‘Active equalization’ allowed an eq waxiNg phiLosophicaL to be patched into a mixing desk for the first time without the fear of ‘insertion hookup diagrams loss’, added noise, or loss of fidelity.
  • Page 10 Your eqP-wa The eqp-WA is a program equalizer by design, which means, though quite capable on individual instruments, it especially shines on complex, full bandwidth material; i.e. complete mixes or instrument groups. it is especially good with providing a final tone balance and adjusting the relationship of the midrange to the low and high frequency bands in finished material.
  • Page 11 When in bypass mode, the audio signal is still routed through the Cinemag input transformer, dual vacuum tube stage line amplifier, and Cinemag output transformer; and the eqp-WA will output at approximately unity gain relative to the input level (or within close margin, due to small variations in output gain from individual vacuum tubes).

    Recording interface in this example, a microphone is feeding into a preampflier, which feeds in to the eqp-WA via a balanced Xlr patch cable, which feeds in the liNe leVel input of your recording interface/recorder. Note: it is important to use a line level input on your recording...
