SYSTEM SET-UP
Setting System Volume
After completing the system wiring, follow the steps below to properly adjust
the EQS560.

1. Turn the master volume control on the EQS560 and the amplifier gain

controls to their minimum setting.

2. Turn the source unit on and increase the volume until distortion is heard,

then reduce volume just below this point.* Once the source unit volume has
been set, it will no longer be used. Always use the volume control on the
EQS560 as the master (main) volume control. It has better electronics,

higher S/N ratio and is more linear than any source unit volume available.

*This is the maximum usable musical signal forthis source unit. turning the volume beyond this point
will increase noise and distortion without an increase in musical signal.

Setting Equalizer Controls
The EQS560 provides a graphic adjustment band for each of five frequency
ranges: sub, low, mid, mid-high and high frequency. The center frequency of

each band is adjustable to allow fine tuning of the acoustical response of the
vehicle.

1. Begin by setting the SUB/LO/MID/MID-HIGH/HIGH frequencies at the

center position.

2. Play a favorite music track and adjust individual EQ controls to a desired

taste. Avoid extreme settings which can distort musical peaks.

3. Increase or decrease the Equalizer Gain Controls as necessary.

4. If your system includes a subwoofer, slowly increase the Subwoofer

control until you hear solid bass.

5. If your system includes rear speakers. adjust the Fader control to add rear

sound. Set it so most of the music comes from the front and only fills in the
rear.

Setting the Low Pass Frequency

of the unit. Set at 60Hz or 90Hz depending upon the type and size of your
subwoofer system.
