2)  If you want to:
emphasize the sound, do one of the following:
Slide the relevant fader up. The FBQ800 boosts 
the signal level in the relevant frequency band.
Slide the faders for the surrounding frequency 
bands down. The FBQ800 cuts the signal level 
in the surrounding frequency bands.
de-emphasize a sound, do one of the following:
Slide the relevant fader down. The FBQ800 cuts 
the signal level in the relevant frequency band.
Slide the faders for the surrounding frequency 
bands up. The FBQ800 boosts the signal level in 
the surrounding frequency bands.
◊ 
When you choose to cut rather than boost the signal level, 
you protect audio equipment from high signal levels 
(clipping) and preserve valuable headroom.

Before you plug the power supply unit in the FBQ800, 
turn off the 
 (power) button.
(10) 
POWER connector: To power the FBQ800, plug the power supply 
unit in this connector. The power supply unit is delivered with 
the FBQ800.
To send the input signal to the FBQ800, use one of the 
following inputs:
(11) 
RCA INPUTL (left) and R (right): for RCA plugs
(12) 
¼" TRS INPUTL (left) and R (right): for TRS (balanced) or, 
alternatively TS (unbalanced) plugs
If you simultaneously use both RCA and TRS INPUTs,  
the FBQ800 receives the input signal only via the TRS INPUT  
(12)
To work with:
a stereo signal, use both the L and R connectors
a mono signal, use only the L or, alternatively the 
R connector
To send the output signal from the FBQ800, you can use the 
following types of outputs:
(13) 
¼" TS OUTPUTL (left) and R (right): for TS (unbalanced) plugs
(14) 
RCA OUTPUTL (left) and R (right): for RCA plugs
You can simultaneously use both TS and RCA OUTPUTs. 
Whether or not you use both the L and the R connectors 
depends on the type of input signal the FBQ800 receives. 
When the FBQ800 receives:
a stereo signal, use both L and R OUTPUT connectors. 
The output signal is also a stereo signal.
a mono signal via an L INPUT connector, use only 
L OUTPUT
 connectors. The output signal is also a 
mono signal.
a mono signal via an R INPUT connector, use only 
R OUTPUT
 connectors. The output signal is also a 
mono signal.

SERIAL NUMBER: To register your FBQ800, use this unique 
serial number.
