SA270 EQ2 User Guide

MIDI THRU

This is a standard 5-pin DIN connector that echoes MIDI messages from the MIDI IN jack and sends

them to other devices. The EQ2 does not generate any of its own MIDI data.

Power and Control Connections

DC 9V (Power)

Connect to the included 9 Volt DC power supply. If you would like to use a 3rd-party supply, the

power supply must be regulated at 9 Volts DC (direct current), able to source at least 180 mA

(milliamps) of current, and the plug should have a tip-negative, barrel-positive polarity.

USB

Connect to your computer or mobile device (Windows or Mac) to the EQ2’s USB port (denoted by

the icon) using a standard USB mini B cable. The EQ2 is a class compliant USB device, meaning that it

does not require any custom drivers. For more information about the EQ2’s USB capabilities, refer to

the USB Section of the User’s Guide.

CONTROL INPUT

The 3.5 mm CONTROL INPUT port connects to external control devices such as the Source Audio Tap

Tempo Switch, Source Audio Dual Expression Pedal, Neuro Hub, and Hot Hand Motion Controller. For

more information, refer to the Expression Pedal Input and Neuro Hub sections of the User’s Guide.
