Setting Up and Using
the E62i /E31i / E30i
9. Experiment by moving each of the Equalizer sliders up and down, carefully listening to
the audible result on the audio signal. Bear in mind that the very lowest and highest
frequency areas may have little or no effect on some signals. If there is significant low
frequency noise (rumble) in the signal, engage the HPF switch(es) as necessary. If you
are using an E62i or E31i, experiment further by pressing in the ±12 dB switch(es) to
deepen the effect of the Equalizer sliders, cutting and boosting by as much as 12 dB
instead of 6 dB. Also try pressing in the Cut Only switch(es) to use the Equalizer sliders
to cut frequencies only without any boost (bear in mind that, when the Cut Only switch is
engaged, the blue labels on the front panel indicate settings, with the maximum +12 dB
position for each Equalizer slider representing flat and the center detented (0) position
of each Equalizer slider representing a cut of -6 or -12 dB, depending upon the setting of
the ±12 dB switch). As you work with the various front panel controls, press the front
panel Bypass switch(es) in and out from time to time in order to compare the effect of the
equalization curve you are creating with the original input signal.
10. Once youve created the frequency curve required for your particular application (see
the About Equalization section on the following pages for more information), an optional
locking security cover (available from your local Samson dealer) can be placed over the
front panel to make sure that your settings are not inadvertantly altered.
If you have followed all the steps above and are experiencing difficulties with any aspect
of setting up or using your E62i / E31i / E30i, you can call Samson Technical Support
(1-800-372-6766) between 9 AM and 5 PM EST, or contact your local distributor.
