7. The RQ ª 200 offers two options for power. If AC power is readily available, it is recommended
to use a 16 VAC external supply. However, the RQ
Use only alkaline in the RQ
8. As is common practice, turn down all gain controls that are not being used to lessen noise.
For instance, if you are using only the left and right inputs of a stereo channel (and not the
Mic Input), turn the Mic Gain down completely to eliminate any gain noise from the unused
Mic Input.
9. To adjust input levels properly, begin with setting the channelÕs fader to Ò0Ó. Place the Master
Fader to Ò0Ó as well. With no other activity from adjacent channels, adjust the proper gain
control for the particular input you are working with. On the stereo channels (3-6) you will
want to make sure you are adjusting the Mic Gain for the Mic Input and the Line Gain for the
Line Input. Use the LED Meters to set your level just below clipping when your audio reaches
its peak points. Follow this practice for each channel.
10. When using the RQ
tions required for optimum benefit. First, connect the Main Output (3.5mm stereo jack) of the
RQ ª 200 to the input of your sound card using the 3.5mm jack. Second, connect the output of
your sound card to the 3.5mm stereo input jack of Channel 6. Finally, connect the cable from
your powered speakers to the 3.5mm headphone output jack.
Using the 3.5mm headphone jack gives you an obscure function that is really convenient.
Just as a typical studio would offer the option of headphone or reference speaker monitoring,
you now have that same choice. While listening to your audio activity via your powered
speakers, you have the option at any time to plug a set of headphones into the other head-
phone jack. This jack, unlike the 3.5 mm, is a 1/4" stereo switching jack. By plugging into the
1/4" jack, you automatically disconnect the powered speakers and you can now listen to your
audio through headphones. ItÕs a great feature that youÕre sure to find very convenient.
Of course, both headphone output levels are controlled by the Headphone Master control at
the bottom, right-hand corner of the RQ
