TIONS STEP BY STEP.
In order to provide proper equalization of the frequency spec­
trum, the 901 Active Equalizer must be connected between the signal
sources (AM-FM tuners, tape recorder or phonograph) and the power
amplifier section of your system. The connections described in this
section can be used with virtually all amplifiers, preamplifiers and
receivers. (If your system contains a separate preamplifier and power
amplifier, an alternate method of connection may be preferred and is
described in Section VI. Read both Sections V and VI and if you choose
the procedure described in Section VI, do not follow any of the steps in
this section.)
The 901 Active Equalizer is normally connected to your am­
plifying equipment as if it were a tape recorder, utilizing the tape mon­
itor function on your preamplifier or receiver. (A new tape monitor
switch is supplied on the Equalizer. Instructions for connecting your
tape recorder to the Equalizer are also given in this section.) Refer
to Figure 2 and connect the Equalizer as follows:
