OPERATORS MANUAL PE 1 7 PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER QUICK START Those who choose not to read this modest informational snippet (intended to ward off one of life's embarrassing moments) are those who wish to hasten the point at which their entire sound system locks up, screams unmercifully, shatters windows, causes dogs to howl, babies to cry, and melts all the compression drives, dripping molten titanium all over the hand-polished walnut decor. Pity. There are only a few things to check when using a PE 17. Always set both GAIN controls as close to the top of the panel as possible without causing the OL LED to light constantly. Use the CUT FILTERS to tailor the bandwidth for each application. Always double check that each FREQx multiplier switch (located beneath each FREQ control) is set to the correct position. Great surprises result from false settings. For extra-deep notching applications, use Bands 3 and 4 and set them exactly the same. Notches as deep as 30 dB are possible, since Bands 3 and 4 are in series while most other bands are in parallel (see the Block Diagram in the Specifications Section). Hook-up is simple. The PE 17 accepts all combinations of balanced or unbalanced, XLR or ј" connectors. However, the INPUT connectors are wired in parallel and may not be used together. Use only one at a time. They will not function as a summing type of input for two different sources, but they may be used in a daisy chain fashion to feed other units. On the other hand (to randomly pick a hackneyed expression), you may use the paralleled Outputs to drive two destinations. Never connect anything except a Rane approved AC power supply to the thing that looks like a red telephone jack on the rear of the PE 17. WEAR PARTS: This product contains no wear parts. Manual-1 FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION OVERLOAD indicator: This red LED illuminates whenever the signal level at any of five critical nodes comes within 3-4 dB of clipping. Overall BYPASS switch & indicator: Engaging this pushbutton energizes the Bypass relay. This provides a complete hard-wire Bypass of the PE 17 with no active electronics in the signal path. A red LED indicates the unit is in the BYPASS mode. In the out (LED off) position, the Input is routed through the active electronics. The Bypass relay is wired such that upon power failure it reverts to the BYPASS condition, thus providing a "fail-safe" feature. IN & OUT GAIN controls: set the relative IN and OUT gain structures. The range of each is ±12 dB; however, note that the labeling is opposite to each other, e.g., the top of the IN control reads +12 dB while the top of the OUT control reads -12 dB. Configured this way, whenever they are held and moved together the overall gain through the PE 17 stays at unity. Positioning these controls (together) as far toward the top of the panel as possible (without lighting the OL indicator) yields the best signal-to-noise performance. LOW & HIGH CUT FILTER controls: set the corner frequencies of the b

OPERATORS MANUAL SAC 22 STEREO 2-WAY ACTIVE CROSSOVER QUICK START Whoa, hold on there. Even if you don't read manuals as a matter of principle, at least read this section to avoid hurting yourself or your equipment. Connect the SAC 22 with the power off. Balanced XLR cables are recommended, but if you must convert to ј" connectors, buy or make a cable like the ones on page Manual-11 and keep them as short as possible. This device uses low impedance balanced line drivers. Do not connect the "+" or "­" output pins to ground, as this may cause the power supply to shut down. For unbalanced use, leave the unused output pin ("+" or "­") unterminated. Consult the speaker manufacturer for the correct crossover FREQUENCY setting. As rugged as some drivers are, many (especially compression drivers) will not accept frequencies outside of their normal range without producing distortion and possibly self-destruction. With all equipment turned off and LEVEL controls down, begin making connections to the system as shown on page Manual-4 or 5. When turning on the system, switch on the power amplifiers last. Now, feed the SAC 22 some program material. Start by turning up the LOW LEVEL and HIGH LEVEL to the 0 dB marks. Slowly increase the INPUT LEVEL, even if it goes all the way to 10, so the +4 dBu (green) light blinks occasionally and the OL (red) light stays out. This delivers the best signal-to-noise performance. The MONO SUB OUTPUT is a sum of the Left and Right Low Outputs. The MONO SUB LEVEL adjusts only this Output and is not affected by the LOW LEVEL control.. When using a single subwoofer along with full-range cabinets that have internal crossovers, set the 100 Hz FILTER to OUT, allowing the front panel FREQUENCY to control the subwoofer crossover point. When used with biamp cabinets and a subwoofer, set the 100 Hz FILTER switch to IN to allow only frequencies below 100 Hz at this output jack. This way, the SAC 22 almost does the job of a Stereo 3-Way crossover, but without removing that awesome bass from the Left and Right Low Outputs. WEAR PARTS: This product contains no wear parts. Manual-1 INPUT LEVEL control and indicators This controls the overall level without altering the relative settings of the Low and High frequency Outputs. Input gain is +6 dB at "10". With signal applied, set this control so the +4 dBu LED lights occasionally, indicating sufficient signal. Flashing of the OL (overload) LED during peaks can be avoided by turning the INPUT LEVEL down. MONO SUB OUTPUT LEVEL control This controls the level of the summed signals of the LEFT and RIGHT LOW OUTPUTS. It may be used instead of, or along with the LOW OUTPUTS. The output may be adjusted with the LEVEL trim from +0 dB to OFF. Unity gain is reached at the "0 dB" mark with the INPUT LEVEL set to "10". LOW LEVEL control This controls the level of signal going to the LOW OUTPUT jacks. Unity gain is reached at the "0 dB" mark with the INPUT LEVEL set to "10". This control does not aff
