OPERATING / SERVICE MANUAL MQ 15/30 GRAPHIC EQUALIZERS QUICK START Reading this section is a lot like eating spinach. Once you're through, you can have dessert. So read this spinach, then devour your MQ dessert. Hook-up is intuitive. Just follow the silkscreened instructions on the rear of the unit. All three inputs are wired in parallel (they do not sum); and all three outputs are wired in parallel. Use any ONE input and any or all outputs. Using the MQ 15/MQ 30 in an Insert Loop of a mixer is extremely easy. Simply connect them together using a single stereo cable (1/4" TRS) between the mixer's Insert Loop and the PATCH I/O jack. This jack is wired for the tip=send, ring=return convention used by many mixer manufacturers. CAUTION: USE EITHER THE PATCH I/O OR ANY OF THE INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTORS -- DO NOT USE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. Anyone familiar with other graphic equalizers finds the MQ 15/MQ 30 just as familiar. One word of caution: the boost/cut RANGE switch drastically changes the impact of a given filter. BE CAREFUL. Setting the IN and OUT GAIN controls to the same physical positions gives unity gain through the equalizer. That is, moving both slider handles together (keeping them aligned) always maintains overall unity gain from input to output. Many strange gain structure conditions may be handled with these controls. FOR BEST NOISE PERFORMANCE ALWAYS POSITION BOTH CONTROLS AS FAR TOWARD THE TOP OF. THE UNIT AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT LIGHTING THE OL INDICATORS. See the Operating Instructions on the back page for more information, Most applications require only a few dB of boost or cut. Start with the RANGE switch in the 6dB position and increase to 12dB only if necessary. Setting curves is as easy as it is on all Rane graphics thanks to our unique interpolating constantQ circuitry. For more information on setting up your curves correctly, again, see the back page. NEVER CONNECT ANYTHING EXCEPT AN APPROVED RANE POWER SUPPLY TO THE RED THING THAT LOOKS LIKE A TELEPHONE JACK ON THE REAR OF THE UNIT. This is an AC input and requires special attention if you do not have a power supply EXACTLY like the one originally packed with your unit. See the full explanation of the power supply requirements elsewhere in this manual. SYSTEM CONNECTION When first connecting the MQ 15 to other components, LEAVE THE POWER SUPPLY FOR LAST. This gives you a chance to make mistakes and correct them without damaging your fragile speakers, ears and nerves. INPUTS. All three inputs are wired in parallel and are actively balanced (true instrumentation amplifiers). Each works equally well. Choose strictly from a favorite hardware point-of-view, there will be no performance trade-offs. The wiring convention adheres to American, British and International standards of pin 2 "+", or tip being hot, pin 3 "­", or ring being return, and pin 1, COMMON GND, or sleeve being signal ground. Unbalanced operation involves using only pin 2 "+", or tip as signal and pin 1 COMMON G
