a. Standard Use
The CONTROL60 may be placed almost anywhere: on a table, on top of an amp, next to a mixing console. If it will
be on furniture, check the rubber feet provided to the bottom of the unit. Make sure to place the CONTROL60 away
from other audio equipment that may induce fields, and away from the signal wiring.
It is possible that CONTROL60 may pick up noise fields generated by other equipment such as large power amplifiers;
in this case, move the CONTROL60 until the noise goes away.

When connecting audio cables and/or turning power on and off, make sure that all devices in your system have
their volume controls turned down.
CONTROL60 has two XLR balanced inputs and two XLR balanced outputs allowing the CONTROL60 to be
used in a classical Stereo in and Stereo Out connection or in Mono configuration as described below.
MONO. Select the mono way in EQ TYPE. Connect one audio cable to the of the CONTROL60 fromInput1
a mono source, and one or two other audio cables from the Output1 and Output2 of the CONTROL60 to a mono/
stereo amplification system or one/two mixer inputs.
STEREO. Select the stereo way in EQ TYPE. Connect two audio cables to the Input1 and Input2 of the CON-
TROL60 from a stereo source, and two other audio cables from the Output1 and Output2 of the CONTROL60
to a stereo amplification system or two mixer inputs.
This connection scheme is suitable also for processing Hi-Fi stereo sources like CD players or recording decks.
To process the signal coming from low signal voltage devices such as Hi-Fi turntable cartridges or microphones,
please insert before CONTROL60 a suitable pre-amplifier (i.e. a RIAA stage for turntables, our MicTube for
microphones).
The CONTROL60 can accept mono or stereo sends at all system levels. The input circuitry of the CONTROL60
can easily accept professional levels while having enough input and output gain to interface with the low signal
levels of home recording systems.
The CONTROL60 may be connected to a mixing console connecting the unit directly to the channel insert
socket of a single channel that is to be processed. Another way of interfacing the CONTROL60 to a mixer or
recording console would be in-line between the output of your mixing console and the input of a tape deck or
power amplifier. This last setup would be used only if you wanted to process the entire mix.
In the above figure it is described the situation in which you want to apply the CONTROL60 to a couple of
channels arriving to a mixing console, in order to apply the desired equalization to single 'instruments' signals;
in this case you will have to use a mixer which features individual channel inserts. Insert jacks on the back of
a mixer provide a way of 'inserting' external processing equipment into the signal path. The insert occurs after
the input amplifier, and before the channel fader; essentially it is the same as connecting the
