WARNING: High Voltage • Risk of electric shock. • Do not open chassis. • Refer service to qualified service staff only. • Before connecting the device to the main power supply, check if the right voltage is selected. • Replace fuse with the same type and value only. • This device must be connected to ground. • Do not use a damaged power cord. • Never place containers with liquid, e.g. beverages or a vase, on the unit. • Do not expose this device to rain or moisture. • Do not use this device near water, e.g.
Dear friend of audio culture, Only a dream? A truly musical equalizer which enhances any sound by providing a new dimension of depth, width, brilliance and openness? Which replaces the tedious search for an adequate change with finding the right setting intuitively in no time at all? And which offers a truly universal concept, covering recording, mixing, mastering and creative tasks without cutting back? You have just woken up. The museq has been designed with exactly these requirements in mind.

BASICS Controls Both channels of the museq are absolutely identical regarding their electronic design. Therefore both sides of the front panel have exactly the same controls and switches. Every potentiometer offers 23 steps for a comfortable recall with an ample choice of values. Low Bottom Middle Top High Low Left Warm Warm Bottom Middle Top High Right Gain (Low Band): boosts frequencies in the Low Band up to 15 dB or – if the Cut Gain switch is activated – cuts them up to 15 dB.
Low Cut (Low Band): switches the filter characteristics from Low Shelf to Low Cut with additional resonance peak (p. 11) Cut Gain (Low Band): switches the corresponding gain controller from boost to cut mode. This is only relevant for Low Shelf, but not for Low Cut mode. (p. 10) Narrow Q (Bottom Band): switches the quality factor (Q) of the corresponding frequency band from low (wide curve) to high (narrow curve). (p.
BASICS Connectors Please pay attention to operate the museq with the correct voltage setting for your country and the proper pin assignments on the XLR connectors.
Level Issues Low Level This problem can eventually be caused by balanced wiring. If the level becomes low when the museq is activated, a pin of the XLR connector at the input is probably not connected. To ensure proper operation, make sure to have both pins connected. The classic example for this problem is a balanced XLR cable that is connected to an unbalanced output which only uses ground and pin 2 – connecting pin 3 to ground should solve the trouble.
