Samson E31I - Manual (Page 3)

Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Samson E62i 1/3 Octave Stereo 31 Band, E31i 1/3
Octave Mono 31 Band Equalizer or E30i 2/3 Octave Stereo 15 Band Constant Q Graphic
Equalizer! Although these products are designed for easy operation, we suggest you take
some time out first to go through these pages so you can fully understand how we’ve
implemented a number of unique features.
The E62i, E31i and E30i are all professional quality signal processors that give you precise
tonal control over one or two channels of audio. Center detented sliders allow you to
selectively cut or boost selected frequency areas by as much as 12 dB. Front panel
controls include output level sliders and bypass switches and LEDs, while the rear panel
provides electronically balanced inputs and outputs. All three models can be used in a
wide variety of applications, including live performance (in conjunction with either Front Of
House or monitor mixers), in broadcast environments, or for recording.
In this manual, you’ll find a more detailed description of the features of the E62i, E31i and
E30i, as well as a guided tour through their front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions
for using the units, suggested applications for use with a patch bay, a Real Time Analyzer
(RTA) or for ringing out monitor systems, reference appendices, and full specifications.
You’ll also find a warranty card enclosed—please don’t forget to fill it out and mail it so that
you can receive online technical support and so we can send you updated information
about other Samson products in the future. Also, be sure to check out our website

(RA) is necessary. Without this number, the unit will not be accepted. If purchased in the
