QUICK START

Great video is easy; great audio is hard, but a SSE 22 makes it a lot easier. Read at least this boxed section and you’ll be

on your way toward great audio.

Hook-up is intuitive: In from the controller, out to the amplifiers. Just follow the silkscreened legends near the gold-

plated RCA jacks on the rear of the unit.

Familiarity with other graphic and parametric equalizers makes the SSE 22 just as familiar. If this is your first equalizer,

be gentle; it can overwhelm you.

Use the 

BYPASS

 switch as an aid in comparing equalized results with unequalized results. Pushbutton 

in

 and locked

(LED 

on

) is the bypassed (unequalized) mode; pushbutton 

out

 (LED 

off

) is the normal equalized mode. See the Operating

Instructions on the page Manual-4 for alignment information.

Install the supplied security cover after completing all settings. Be sure the 

POWER 

light fits snugly into the hole in the

security cover.

Never connect anything except an approved Rane power supply to the thing that looks like a red telephone jack on

the rear of the unit.

 This is an AC input and requires special attention if you do not have a power supply 

exactly 

like the

one originally packed with your unit. See the full explanation of the power supply requirements on page Manual-3.
