Quick Start Guide
 If you can't wait to get started:
The Alesis PEQ-450™ is a unique product, but its basic hookup and
operation is similar to other equalizers in most respects.  If you're
experienced with signal processors, this chapter is a "shorthand"
guide for those who want to start using the PEQ-450 right away.  If
you have questions about any of the features, don’t worry – later
chapters will unveil the mysteries of the PEQ-450's special features.
If you're new to signal processing, start with the more detailed
instructions for hookup and operation starting in the next
