PEQ-450 Reference Manual 15
Quick Start Guide
If you can't wait to get started:
The Alesis PEQ-450™ is a unique product, but its basic hookup and
operation is similar to other equalizers in most respects. If you're
experienced with signal processors, this chapter is a "shorthand"
guide for those who want to start using the PEQ-450 right away. If
you have questions about any of the features, don’t worry – later
chapters will unveil the mysteries of the PEQ-450's special features.
✪ If you're new to signal processing, start with the more detailed
instructions for hookup and operation starting in the next
chapter.
Step 1: Hook it up to a mixer
1. Pull the PEQ-450 out of the package.
2. Plug the
POWER jack on the back of the PEQ-450 into a grounded
AC power source with the supplied power cable. Since the PEQ-
450’s power turns on automatically, press the
POWER switch to
turn it off during connections.
3. Using a pair of insert cables, plug the insert sends of the mixer to
the
CHAN A INPUTS on the back of the PEQ-450.
4. Connect the insert cable return plugs to the
CHAN A OUTPUTS of
the PEQ-450.
5. Press the
POWER switch on the front of the PEQ-450 to power up
