GETTING STARTED
It is not necessary to read all the manual before being able to use the MEA-2 Precision
Stereo Equalizer. This section contains all the information required for you to get going
straight away.
3.1.
Unpacking your MEA-2
Check that you have the following items and that they are undamaged:
"
MEA-2 Precision Stereo Equalizer unit
"
MEA-2 Precision Stereo Equalizer operation manual (this book)
"
IEC320 type mains lead with appropriate plug for your supply
Check that the slide switch mounted on the rear panel is set to the correct mains voltage
range (‘120' setting : 90V-130Vac 50-60Hz; ‘240' setting : 180-260Vac 50-60Hz) and that
the plug fitted to the mains lead is of the correct type. If not, DO NOT CONNECT THE
MAINS SUPPLY, but contact your distributor.
Please keep the packaging for re-use in the event that the unit should be shipped to
another location or in the event that it should ever need to be returned to the manufacturer
for repair or upgrade.
3.2.
Using the MEA-2 for the first time
Connect a source of balanced audio to the input connectors on the MEA-2. Refer to
section 10 for details of how to wire up interconnecting cables for the MEA-2.
Connect the output of the MEA-2 to a monitoring system or to a tape recorder input.
Connect the mains supply to the MEA-2 unit. There is a main power switch on the rear of
the unit and an auxiliary switch on the front which is more convenient to use if the
equipment is rack mounted and the rear panel is inaccessible. It is necessary for the rear-
mounted mains switch to be in the ‘ON’ position before the front panel switch will operate.
The front panel switch operates a relay within the unit.
The indicator lamp integral in the rear-mounted mains switch should illuminate when
switched on. If it fails to light the power may be absent or the unit may be faulty. Check the
mains supply, and try again. If the problem is still evident contact your distributor.
