Omnitronic GEQ-215 Mode D'emploi page 16

Be careful when mounting the equalizer into the rack. Put the heaviest devices into the lower part of the rack.
Be aware that fastening the equalizer with four screws on the front panel is not enough. In order to ensure
safety, additional fastening by using ground and side bars is necessary.
If racks are to be transported or used for mobile use, additionally fasten the devices by connecting the rear
brackets with the side or ground bars of the rack. In this way, the equalizer cannot be pushed backwards.
The front panel alone is not designed to absorb acceleration forces occuring during transportation.
INPUTS
A good cable run improves the sound quality remarkably. Input cables should be short and direct, since high
frequencies will be mostly be absorbed if the cables are unnecessarily long. Besides that a longer cable may
lead to humming and noise trouble. If long cable runs are unavoidable, you should use balanced cables.
The inputs of your OMNITRONIC GEQ-215 are equipped with XLR and ¼" jack-sockets.
OUTPUTS
The high damping factor of your equalizer supplies a clear sound reproduction. Unnecessarily long and thin
cables will influence the damping factor and thus the low frequencies in a negative way. In order to
safeguard good sound quality, the damping factor should lie around 50.
The outputs of your OMNITRONIC GEQ-215 are equipped with 6.35 jacks and XLR-connectors.
