WHAT IS EQUALIZATION?

An equalizer boosts or cuts a frequency range. The Alto Professional AEQ231 is a graphic equalizer. Graphic

equalizers have fixed frequency bands that can be boosted or cut. The term “graphic” is appropriate because the

combined settings of the bands often resemble a curve or “graph.”

The most basic level of control on a graphic equalizer is the gain setting for a given band. Each of the bands

represent a predetermined frequency range; its gain setting controls the amount of boost or cut for that frequency

range. A setting of 0 dB means that the signal will not be affected in the area of those audio frequencies.

Depending on the program material, boosting or cutting just one frequency can have a significant impact on the

sound. When all of the frequency bands are taken together, the impact can be huge.

Equalization can be used for:

• Adjusting the character of an instrument, voice, mix, or effect

• Cutting or boosting frequencies to make a source easier to mix with other tracks

• Compensating for a less-than-ideal recording

• Compensating for less-than-ideal room acoustics

• Creating a filter effect

• Eliminating buzz, noise, or hum

APPLICATIONS

AEQ231 uses balanced XLR, balanced 1/4" TRS and unbalanced RCA connectors. They can be interfaced in several

ways to support a variety of applications. Three common configurations are:

• Main Mix Insert: EQ the entire mix.

• Aux (Monitor) Out “In-Line” EQ the auxiliary outputs that feed stage monitors.

• Channel Insert: EQ a single instrument (requires a TRS Insert cable)

For best performance, and to avoid unwanted noise or signal loss, use only high quality shielded audio cables.

For further details, please refer to the INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION section.

Connecting the AEQ231 to the Left and Right Main Mix Inserts

2 TRS insert cables (1 TRS 1/4” Male to 2 Mono 1/4” Male) will be required for both left and right mixer channels.

1. Connect the TRS end of the Insert cable to the mixer’s left Main Insert.

2. Connect the Tip end of the Insert cable to the balanced 1/4” Channel 1 input on AEQ231.

3. Connect the Ring end of the Insert cable to the balanced 1/4” Channel 1 output on AEQ231.

4. For the connection between the mixer’s right output and Channel 2 on AEQ231, follow the same pattern as

seen in Steps 1-3.
