Connecting the DFR11EQ in a Sound System
The
DFR1
1EQ should be placed where an equalizer would be in a signal path — it should
be the final piece of equipment a sound signal passes through before going to a power
amplifier.
Other signal processors (for example, delay or reverb ef
fects devices) should be
placed
before the DFR1
1EQ along the signal path.
The following four diagrams show typical connections. Because of its utility and
flexibility,
the DFR1
1EQ can be connected in a large
variety of dif
ferent setups to benefit a
sound system.
NOTE
: See Appendix C. for descriptions of all cable and connection wiring.
Between the Mixer Main Output and the Power Amplifier
The DFR11EQ is most commonly placed between the main output of a mixer and the
input
of a power amplifier
, after any dynamics control processors. At the main output, the
unit
will affect all input channels. This setup is ideal for using the DFR11EQ as a feedback
reducer
and as a graphic equalizer
.

At a Subgroup Insert
When
using a multiple bus mixer
,
the DFR1
1EQ can be connected to a single subgroup
insert. The unit will affect only the channels associated with that subgroup: the other
channels
will remain unaf
fected.
