Earthquake products are capable of generating high sound pressure 
 
levels. You 
should exercise caution when operating these products. Long term exposures to 
high  levels  of  sound  pressure  will  cause  permanent  damage  to  your  hearing.   
Sound pressure levels exceeding 85dB can be dangerous with constant exposure. Set your audio 
system to a comfortable loudness level. Earthquake Sound Corporation does not assume liability  
for damages resulting from the direct use of Earthquake amplifiers or other Earthquake products , 
and urges users to play their music at moderate listening levels.

Care and Maintenance
Your Earthquake Stereo 7-Band Graphic Equalizer is an example of superior design and 
craftsmanship. The following advisories will  help you care for your equalizer so you can 
enjoy it for years to come. 
Keep the graphic equalizer dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. 
Liquids contain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits. Additionally 
liquids can cause severe electrical shock.
Use and store the graphic equalizer only in normal temperature 
environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic 
devices and warp or melt plastic parts. 
Handle the graphic equalizer gently and carefully. Dropping it can 
damage the circuits or cause components to break or become loose. 
These kind of actions can cause the units to work poorly or improperly.
Keep the graphic equalizer away from dust and dirt, which can cause 
premature wear of parts.

Input Gain setting:
Designed to set the maximum upper volume level, the Input Gain is a tool for installer to protect the system from excessive 
high volume. Setting the Input Gain level depends on the sources' maximum signal strength (expressed in V
oltage). Installer 
needs to know the output voltage of the source units and set the Input gain accordingly
.
