system before the final stage of amplification. The connection method described in this section can be used with virtually all integrated amplifiers, preamplifiers, and receivers. This method usually results in the best signal to noise ratio. For the sake of simplicity, we will call these various components the "control amplifier." The 901 Equalizer is normally connected to your control amplifier as if it were a tape recorder. It utilizes the TAPE MONITOR function and connections of your control amplifier.

the
Equalizer
according
to
the
instructions
in
Steps
a

n:
a.
Turn
off
all
power
to
your
equipment.
b.
If
you
have

disconnect
it
from

will
show
you
how
to
reconnect
your

CAREFULLY.
c.
Using
one
of
the

supplied
with
the
Equalizer,
connect
the
RIGHT
channel
OUTPUT
terminal
of
the
Equalizer
to
the
RIGHT
or

terminal
of
your
control
amplifier.

OUTPUT
terminal
of
the
Equalizer
to
the
LEFT
or

terminal
of

e.
Connect
the
RIGHT

terminal
of
the
Equalizer
to
the
RIGHT
or
"El"
channel

terminal
of
your

f.
Connect
the
LEFT
channel
INPUT

to
the
LEFT

g.
Connect
the
