LOW SHELF: High Pass Filter control; adjusts the amount of low frequency rolloff  
from 500 Hz down to 16Hz for the entire output of the RPQ160.  
HIGH SHELF: Low Pass Filter control; adjusts the amount of high frequency rolloff  
from 1 kHz up to 20 kHz for the entire output of the RPQ160.  
NOTE: THERE IS NO BYPASS SWITCH FOR THE LOW OR HIGH SHELF  
FILTERS - SIMPLY TURN THE LOW SHELF COMPLETELY COUNTERCLOCK-  
WISE, AND THE HIGH SHELF COMPLETELY CLOCKWISE TO BYPASS THESE  
CIRCUITS.  
OUTPUT: Balanced XLR and balanced 1/4” and RCA jacks for connection to a  
mixing board, power amplifier or recording device.  
INPUT: Balanced XLR and balanced 1/4” and RCA jacks for connection to the  
output of a mixing board, instrument, or other device with the signal to be pro-  
cessed.  
LEVEL: Adjusts the overall signal level of the RPQ160.  
NOTE:The following three descriptions are identical for all four bands of equaliza-  
tion.  
FREQUENCY: Selects the frequency to be boost or cut. The band frequency  
ranges are listed below:  
CONNECTION  
Band 1:  
Band 2:  
Band 3:  
Band 4:  
70 Hz to 1.5 kHz  
150 Hz to 3 kHz  
300 Hz to 10 kHz  
600 Hz to 20 kHz  
Turn off all equipment before making any connections. Mount the RPQ160 in a  
properly grounded rack, and make sure the rack is properly ventilated. Ambient  
temperatures should not exceed 113 degrees F (45 degrees C) when the equip-  
ment is in use. Connect your RPQ160 using XLR, RCA or 1/4” connectors.  
Connect the AC power cord to a properly grounded AC outlet. Route the AC  
power cord away from audio lines.  
WIDTH: (Q):Varies the shape or width of the equalization being boost or cut from  
.3 to 3 octaves wide.  
LEVEL: Boosts or cuts the signal of the indicated band from -15 to +15 dB.  
Power Switch: Applies power to the RPQ160 when the unit is connected to a  
properly grounded ac outlet.The Power LED will light when the RPQ160 is on.

OPERATION  
OPERATION Cont.  
Shown below is the typical symmetrical response curve of a swept parametric  
band filter with the Frequency control set at 1 kHz, the Level set at +15 and -15  
dB, and the Octave control set at .3, .5, 1, and 3.These curves remain consistent  
over the frequency spectrum, they simply shift to whatever frequency setting is  
indicated by the Frequency control.  
The two shelving filters are designed to roll off the frequency response of the  
Signal; the Low Shelf cuts the frequencies 3 dB at the controls indicated setting  
and rolls off below, and the High Shelf cuts the frequencies 3 dB at the indicated  
setting and rolls of above.The Low Shelf Sweep Diagram shows the response  
curve of the Low Self filter at its minimum and maximum setting.  
The shape is most narrow when the OCT control is set at .3, and is widest at the  
3 setting.

APPLICATIONS  
HIGH SHELF SWEEP DIAGRAM  
The RPQ160’s precise equalization has many applications including school or  
church gymnasiums, home or professional recording studios, live sound, or  
musical instruments.  
Please note that when the Low Shelf is set fully counterclockwise (16 Hz), the  
filter is essentially bypassed. Similarly, when the High Self control is set fully  
clockwise (30 kHz), that filter is essentially bypassed.  
When coupled with a spectrum analyzer, the RPQ160 can match exactly the  
properties of typical acoustic resonances and reflections, and make immediate  
improvements to any installed system’s amplitude and phase response.  
The Level control has a detente at the center (0 dB) position. if the Clip LED is  
lighting, the Level control may be turned counterclockwise to reduce the gain of  
the RPQ160, thereby reducing the clipping. If a weak signal is present, the Level  
control may be turned up (clockwise) to increase the gain. To achieve the  
maximum signal to noise ratio, the Level should be set 3 dB below the clipping  
level.This is done by adjusting the Level control with a normal signal present until  
the Clip LED lights, then turning the Level down to just below the point when the  
LED goes out.  
Live applications include equalizing trouble spots where a mix may be muddy, too  
harsh, flat, and even eliminate feedback precisely without affecting the flavor of  
the overall sound.  
Recording studios benefit from the RPQ160’s precise equalization in notching out  
trouble frequencies that need to beremoved, or by re-equalizing a final mix.
