SSE 35 CONNECTION
When first connecting the SSE 35, leave the power supply
for last. This gives you a chance to correct mistakes before
damaging fragile speakers, ears and nerves.
INPUTS
Inputs are unbalanced and fitted with standard RCA
phono jacks.
OUTPUTS
The Outputs mimic the Inputs. Only use high-quality RCA
cables for hook-up.
SIGNAL LEVELS
The SSE 35 is designed for Home Theater Audio refer-
ence levels, and provides a minimum headroom of 26 dB
above reference, making it virtually unclippable.
With all slide controls located in their 0 dB detented
positions, the SSE 35 operates with unity gain from input to
output. No additional level controls are necessary. Use the
SSE 35 only for specific equalization, not as a gain control.
The average of all sliders should be 0 dB or less—volume
should be relatively the same when activating the BYPASS
switch. Try to cut rather than boost. Lowering the mountains
makes less filling in the valleys.

ALIGNMENT
(See Operating Instructions).
Once the room is aligned, purists will install the security
cover and never adjust again until the room is re-arranged.
Some of you will be impressed with all those little sliders and
want to play. The choice is yours.
The SSE 35 comes ready for 19" rack mounting. The rack
ears may be moved forward to allow the security cover to be
mounted flush with the rack face. Simply remove the two
philips screws on each rack ear and relocate them to the
forward holes. If the unit is not to be rack mounted, attach the
supplied rubber feet to four corners of the bottom of the unit
to prevent scratching other components or shelving, and
remove the ears if you like.
