HM2 EQ HAMMER Owner’s Manual ™
WARNING! Before you start your new HAMMER-EQ please read the following: ANY real tube product is sensitive to a high SPL environment. This may cause microphonics in a recording situation. Make sure you are able to shock mount and or place the unit in isolation if need be. Direct light will also affect tubes as well. PLEASE be sure to have at least one rack space between any tube products from the product above and below the unit. This will ensure your tube unit will not over heat.

Tubes are a component that have specialized and unique features. If you are a “pre” or baby boomer, born before 1957, you may recall using tubes in various products, such as radios, amplifiers, and televisions. So, this is just to refresh your memory.
