Instructions
1
Connect the outputs of your audio equipment such as CD player, record player or mp3 player to the inputs of the stereo equalizer.

2
Connect the outputs of the stereo equalizer to an input on your main amplifier that powers the speakers. Some stereo equalizers will only have one main output. If that is the case, you must choose which input to connect your audio sources to and keep it on that setting no matter which source you are listening to.

3
Purchase RCA adapter cables or 1/4-inch adapter cables if needed. Some equalizers have only RCA inputs and outputs. If you have only 1/4-inch outputs on your other equipment, you need RCA adapters. If your equalizer accepts only 1/4-inch jacks and your other equipment has only RCA outputs, use 1/4-inch adapters. These can be purchased at most stores that sell electronics accessories for less than $10.00.

4
Using powered speakers, connect the input sources to the equalizer and connect the main output of the equalizer directly to the speakers. For use with powered speakers, you may need the adapters mentioned above.

5
Connect the outputs of your preamplifier to the inputs of your stereo equalizer if you are using one for a record player or device that requires a preamplifier, and amplifier for the speakers.

6
Connect your stereo equalizer to the dedicated input on your amplifier if it has one. Though most amplifiers do not have dedicated inputs for external equalizers, some do. Connect all other devices to the marked inputs on the amplifier normally.
