Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE The PE 15 is compatible with all line-level (-10 dBV and +4 dBu) interfaces and products. However, guitars, microphones and other low level products must be preamplified before connecting to the PE 15. The proper connection of this unit to a system is a relatively simple matter, the specifics of which may vary greatly depending on the application. Use a PE 15 anywhere line-level frequency contouring is required. This includes live sound reinforcement systems, recording studios, clubs, etc. The most common location to insert a parametric equalizer is immediately preceding the active crossover or power amplifier. This provides the means to correct loudspeaker deficiencies and other acoustic corrections required in any system for high quality reproduction. Many systems employ both a graphic and parametric equalizer connected in series. The graphic being used to correct for acoustic anomalies, while the parametric helps source correction, loudspeaker compensation and feedback control. In these situations, the order of placement is not critical, however the PE 15 does feature true actively balanced differential outputs which may be a consideration in installations requiring very long cable runs between the equalizers and the power amplifiers or crossovers. The ¼" TRS and XLR INPUT connectors are wired in parallel and are actively balanced. These Inputs are provided primarily to give the user a choice between two types of connectors. They will not sum from two different sources. For further information on this subject, please consult the RaneNote titled, “WHY NOT WYE?” (available from the factory or the Rane web site). The two Inputs may be used in a daisy chain application where the Input to the PE 15 also must feed another piece of equipment. The outputs of the PE 15 also provide the choice between ¼" TRS connectors and XLR variety. They also are wired in parallel and are actively balanced. Both Outputs may be used simultaneously. All XLR connectors used by Rane are wired per the IEC/ ANSI/AES standard as follows: pin 2 positive, pin 3 negative and pin 1 chassis ground. Unbalanced use of a PE 15 requires you to take some particular steps in wiring. On the Input, use either a mono ¼" connector (no ring), or short pin 3 to pin 1 and drive pin 2 for XLR connectors. On the Output leave pin 3 open and take the signal from pin 2 (hot) and pin 1 (chassis ground). When using ¼" plugs, the preferred arrangement is to use a tip-ring-sleeve version and leave the ring open. Alternatively, a mono plug may be used
