Many audio enthusiasts like having a graphic equalizer as part of their stereo system. A graphic equalizer lets you boost or attenuate specific frequency ranges within your audio system, allowing you to fine-tune your audio output to match your taste or the exact acoustics of your room. Audiosource sells a range of graphic equalizers for the home audio consumer. They all are installed using the same basic method.
Instructions
1. Make sure your receiver will support an AudioSource graphic equalizer. To use an AudioSource graphic equalizer, your receiver must have a tape monitor function. Look for a button marked "Tape Monitor" on the front of the receiver and for two sets of RCA inputs on the rear of the receiver, one set marked "Tape In" and the other marked "Tape Out."
2. Connect the first set of patch cables to the "Tape In" connections on the back of your receiver, then the other end to the "Audio Out" RCA connections on the back of the AudioSource graphic equalizer. Always connect the red cable to the "R," or right, input on both devices.
3. Connect the second set of patch cables to the "Tape Out" connections on the back of your receiver, then the other end to the "Audio In" RCA connections on the back of the AudioSource graphic equalizer. Always connect the red cable to the "R" input on both devices.
4. Plug your AudioSource graphic equalizer into a 120-volt power outlet and turn it on.
5. Turn on your receiver and make sure the "Tape Monitor" switch is set to "On." Adjust the graphic equalizer to your listening taste.
