Power Acoustik PEQ-72 Stereo Equalizer User Manual


 
The PEQ-72 is designed for in-dash installation directly
above or below a standard DIN size
radioltape player.
Installation Kits for the purpose are available from a
varie
ty
of suppliers. Consult with a professional Auto-sound
installer for assistance.
The Red wire with in-line fuse is the main power input
to the PEQ-72. It should be connected to a source of
Switched
+
12 volts (Cut off by the Ignition switch). This
is normally the same fuse-panel terminal that powers
your radio.
Each wire is individually labeled to reduce any chance
of error. Phono cable pairs with plugs on both ends are
required to connect the PEQ-72 outputs to the remote
amplifiers and also for the phono inputs if used. See
Figure
5.
These can be purchased from a local audio
dealer in the correct lengths for your particular
installation.
The Black wire labeled Power Ground is connected
directly to the vehicle chassis. A second Black wire with
White stripe labeled Source Ground is connected to the
chassis of the in-dash radio. This dual-ground system
is helpful in reducing common sources of noise
generated by your vehicle.
The Orange wire is used on turn the PEQ-72 On. It
should be connected to the in-dash radio's Power Anten-
na Output Lead.
The final step in the electrical installation is to connect
the Left
&
Righr Output signals from your radio to the
PEQ-72. Inputs in one of two ways, depending on how
your radio is equipped. If it has Phono-style Line Out-
puts, then they are connected to the matching Line In-
puts using a purchased cable pair as discussed above
and shown in Figure
