QUICK INSTALLATION
INFORMATION
For those of you short on time, but high on ambi-
tion, we offer the following section to speed up
your installation of the DQS:
1. The DQS needs to be installed in the signal path
between your source unit and your external
amplifier(s). If this is not obvious to you, quickly
pack up your DQS and run to your nearest autho-
rized AudioControl dealer to have them perform
the installation. You will thank us later.
2. Physically mount the DQS in a location that
keeps it away from soda spills, food crumbs, and
curious fingers. However, you will want to select a
location that allows you to see the display and
access the equalization controls during setup.
3. Hook up +12 volt power, ground, and remote
turn-on. If you need to know more, then read on.
Heck, if you don’t think you need to know more,
you should still read on, because you can never
know too much.
4. Adjust the “Input Level” control on your DQS to
match the source unit’s output and then adjust
the “Output Level” controls to match your ampli-
fier inputs.
Note: You will want to turn the gains on your
amplifiers DOWN to maximize your systems perfor-
mance.
5. Now comes the fun part. Set your equalization
controls to where your system sounds the most
balanced yet dynamic. More about this in the
section titled “Adjusting Your Equalizer”... and you
thought you would not have to read the rest of
the manual. Hah!
6. Last but not least, you will want to save your
system settings in one of the eight memory
locations.
