5. Setup

Setup xieraq jiżgura prestazzjoni ottimali u jipprevjeni ħsara lit-tagħmir tiegħek.

5.1 Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija

1. Ensure the FBQ3102's power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the supplied AC power cable to the IEC input on the rear panel of the unit.
3. Ipplaggja t-tarf l-ieħor tal-kejbil tal-enerġija f'sokit tal-enerġija AC adattat.

5.2 Konnessjonijiet tal-Awdjo

The FBQ3102 features servo-balanced inputs and outputs, supporting both balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS connections. Unbalanced connections can also be used, with the unit automatically adjusting the signal level.

1. Connect the output of your mixing console or audio source to the Dħul (Channel 1 and 2) on the rear panel of the FBQ3102 using XLR or 1/4" TRS cables.
2. Qabbad il- ĦRUĠIET (Channel 1 and 2) of the FBQ3102 to the inputs of your power amplifier or next device in the signal chain using XLR or 1/4" TRS cables.
3. For subwoofer integration, connect the SUB OUT (XLR) to the input of your active subwoofer or subwoofer ampaktar ħaj.

Nota: Always make sure all audio connections are secure before powering on the unit.

6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

6.1 Ekwalizzazzjoni Bażika

1. Power on your audio system, ensuring the FBQ3102 is the last device to be turned on and the first to be turned off.
2. Set all frequency faders to the 0 dB (center) position.
3. Aġġusta l- QLIGĦ TAL-INPUT controls so that the input/output level meters show a healthy signal without clipping (red LEDs).
4. Uża l- GANJA switch to select either ±6 dB or ±12 dB adjustment range for the frequency faders. Start with ±6 dB for finer control.
5. Aġġusta l-individwu FREQUENCY FADERS to shape your sound. Boost frequencies to emphasize them or cut frequencies to reduce unwanted elements.
6. Uża l- BYPASS switch to compare the equalized sound with the original signal.

6.2 Sistema ta' Sejbien ta' Feedback FBQ

The FBQ system helps identify and eliminate feedback frequencies quickly.

1. Agħfas il- FBQ switch to activate the feedback detection system.
2. When feedback occurs, the LEDs on the corresponding frequency faders will illuminate brightly, indicating the problematic frequencies.
3. Gently lower the faders of the illuminated frequencies until the feedback is eliminated.
4. In normal operation (FBQ active), the fader LEDs can also indicate frequency ranges with the highest energy levels, functioning as an audio analyzer.

6.3 High and Low Cut Filters

These filters help remove undesirable frequencies outside the main audio range.

• Dawwar il- LOW CUT knob clockwise to gradually remove low-end rumble or unwanted bass frequencies.
• Dawwar il- QATGĦA GĦOLJA knob counter-clockwise to remove hiss or harsh high frequencies.

6.4 Subwoofer Output Control

The dedicated subwoofer output allows for precise bass management.

• Aġġusta l- LIVELL SUBWOOFER control to set the desired volume for your subwoofer.
• Uża l- SUBWOOFER CROSSOVER FREQUENCY control to define the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer signal. This ensures that only low frequencies are sent to the subwoofer, optimizing system performance.

6.5 Hard Bypass Function

The relay-controlled hard bypass ensures signal integrity and safety.

• In the event of power loss or faulty power delivery, the equalizer automatically switches to bypass mode, allowing the audio signal to pass through unaffected.
• During power-up, a slight delay prevents dangerous switch-on thumps, protecting connected equipment.

7. Manutenzjoni

• Tindif: Naddaf l-unità b'ċarruta ratba u niexfa. Tużax prodotti tat-tindif likwidi jew solventi.
• Ventilazzjoni: Aċċerta ruħek li jkun hemm ventilazzjoni adegwata madwar l-unità biex tevita li tissaħħan iżżejjed. Timblokkax il-fetħiet tal-ventilazzjoni.
• Ħażna: Jekk se taħżen l-unità għal perjodu estiż, skonnettjaha mill-elettriku u aħżenha f'ambjent niexef u ħieles mit-trab.
• Servizzi: Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Do not attempt to service the unit yourself.
