NSEQ-2 Front Panel
1. Band In/Out Switch "IN" — places its associated EQ
band in circuit or out of circuit
2. Frequency Select Switch — selects fixed high and low
band frequencies
3. Peak/Shelf Select — When LED is on, EQ is shelving at
6 dB per octave. When LED is off, EQ is peaking with a
fixed "Q" of 1.0.
4. Boost/Cut Control — +18 dB of boost and -18 dB of
cut. Boost/Cut potentiometer has 21 detented positions
for accurate repeatability and session logging.
5. Parametric Frequency Control – selects EQ center
frequency.
6. Parametric Frequency Range Select Switch "10X"
—When LED is on, frequencies as shown on front panel
legend are multiplied by 10X. When LED is off,
frequencies are as shown on front panel legend.
7. Parametric Q Control – EQ bandwidth.
8. Master Equalizer In/Out Select Switch — "EQ IN"
places EQ in the signal path. Hardwired relay bypass
when out.
9. Twin Topology — Select J-FET (LED illuminated) or
Vacuum Tube circuitry.
10. Gain Range — +/- 18dB or +/- 9dB
11. Power Indicator — when illuminated shows the NSEQ-
4 is powered up and active.
12. Power Switch — turns power on and off.

1. Inputs — In 1 (Left), In 2 (Right) Conventional 3-pin female
XLR input jacks for all balanced or unbalanced line level signals..
2. Outputs — Out 1 (Left), Out 2 (Right) Conventional 3-pin
male XLR output jacks.
3. Earth/Audio Ground Jumper — A barrier terminal which ties
earth ground to audio ground. If ground "hum" loops are
experienced when using the NSEQ-4, removing this jumper may
help. Using this jumper, the integrity of the chassis/earth ground
connection is never compromised. Do not defeat the earth
grounding pin on the AC plug.
4. AC Voltage Mains Selection — The fuse block contains two
fuses; one fuse is in series with the hot power line while the other
fuse is in series with the neutral power line. Both fuses must be
installed.
To change the mains voltage selection, remove IEC power
connector and assure that the NSEQ-4 is not connected to mains
power. With a non-conductive tool, gently pry the fuse block away
from the power entry module. Slide out the internal PC Board,
turn it over, and reinsert the PCB so that the desired AC mains
voltage appears in the viewing window. Double check that the
fuses installed correspond to the AC mains voltage range which
appears in the viewing window. Gently push the fuse block back
until flush and snug.
Fuses: For 100-120 VAC mains, use two 5 x 20 mm, 1A, slow
blow, 250 V, Littelfuse 218 or equiv. For 200-240 VAC mains, use
two 5 x 20 mm, 1A, slow blow, 250 V, Littelfuse 218 or equiv.
5. Power Entry — IEC Power Receptacle for use with removable
cords. Use only the power cord provided. (Export units’ cords are
provided by the distributor.)

Summary

NSEQ-2 Front Panel Features

Band In/Out Switch

Places the associated EQ band in or out of the circuit.

Frequency Select Switch

Selects fixed high and low band frequencies for EQ.

Peak/Shelf Select Switch

Determines if EQ is shelving (6 dB/octave) or peaking (fixed Q=1.0).

Boost/Cut Control

Provides +/-18 dB of boost/cut with 21 detented positions for accuracy.

Parametric Frequency Control

Selects the center frequency for parametric EQ bands.

Parametric Frequency Range Select

Multiplies parametric frequencies by 10X when LED is on.

Parametric Q Control

Adjusts the bandwidth (Q) of the parametric EQ.

Master Equalizer In/Out Switch

Engages or bypasses the EQ section via hardwired relay.

Twin Topology Selection

Allows selection between J-FET or Vacuum Tube circuitry.

Gain Range Selector

Sets the overall gain range to +/-18dB or +/-9dB.
