REGULAR JOHN RECORDING RJR BAX USER MANUAL
THE BORING STUFF: DO NOT under any circumstance open the chassis of your RJR BAX. There is nothing inside the chassis that interests you. Opening the chassis will cause humanity’s existence to come to an end. Let’s not have that happen! When you receive your RJR BAX, carefully open the boxes and packaging and inspect the unit. It’s a good idea to take care that the boxes aren’t ripped open. Make sure there is no damage to your RJR BAX.
USING YOUR RJR BAX POWERING ON Plug the included AC power adaptor into the 2.1mm power jack on the rear of the EQ. Plug the other end of the AC power adaptor into a 110-120 VAC outlet (you know which end goes where!). Your EQ should now have power and the power indicator LED on the front panel should be glowing. If it isn’t, first make sure that the outlet the AC adaptor is plugged into is live. Once that is confirmed, if your BAX still isn’t powering on, contact dustin@regularjohnrecording.com.
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS The rear panel of your RJR BAX is pretty straightforward. We’ve covered the 2.1mm power jack located in the center of the rear panel. The remaining jacks are for audio (obviously!). You may have noticed that the in/outs aren’t labeled. That’s because if you are using professional audio equipment, it’s assumed that you know what you’re doing.
LOW CUT: The Low Cut filter is a cut-only filter that allows you to remove unwanted subsonic frequencies from your music. It can also be used to offset or tame a large boost on the low shelf band. The numbered settings are in Hz. When set to “OFF” there is no filtering taking place. LOW BAND: There are six available knee frequencies for the low baxandall shelf that can be seen in the picture above. The numbered settings are in Hz.
BYPASS: The bypass function is located just above the low cut filter, and is engaged with a toggle switch which activates an electronic relay. When “IN” is selected, the EQ is active. When “OUT” is selected the XLR input jack is routed directly to the XLR output jack for a direct hard bypass, and the EQ circuit is removed from the audio path completely. It’s not unusual to hear a click or pop when engaging or disengaging the bypass function.
CONCLUSION At this point you should have a good understanding of the front panel controls and rear panel connections on your RJR BAX. So rather than ramble on about how great your new EQ is like most user manuals would, let’s instead end it here. Go forth and do some EQ-ing! Use your ears and see where the RJR BAX takes your music. And as always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact dustin@regularjohnrecording.com.
