User guide

• Do not exceed the limits of MultEQ Pro and the Sound Equalizer as given in the

specifications and other warnings provided in this manual.

• Do not cascade other devices into the calibrated microphone-to-calibrated preamplifier-to-

Sound Equalizer path. Serious damage could occur to each piece of equipment.

• Do not connect the calibrated microphone to the 1/Mic input of the Sound Equalizer until

instructed to do so.

Doing so before completing the Product Selection screen as part of the MultEQ Pro application (see

Product Selection, page 19) will cause microphone feedback at levels that could damage the

speakers.

• Do not connect a source, such as a DVD player, directly to the Sound Equalizer.

There are several reasons for this, but the primary reason is the difference in voltage levels. Most

sources provide 2 V RMS line-level output, and the Sound Equalizer has a maximum allowable input

level of 1.5 V RMS as is typical for high quality preamplifiers and processors. Connecting a source

directly may cause some material to clip the input of the Sound Equalizer. Additionally, you will not

have volume control, bass management, delay correction, or level correction. Therefore, to have

these features and achieve the correct input levels you should always use a pre-amp/processor

between the source and the Sound Equalizer.

The Audyssey Installer Kit
