Author Topic: CP50 surround EQ Tom Wienholt Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: Towson, MD, USA Registered: Dec 2002 posted 04-13-2003 02:13 AM                     I wanted to know how to hook up an external equalizer for the surround channel of a CP50. Would you use the output to surround adaptor and input from surround adaptor? Any help would be appreciated.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-13-2003 09:29 AM                     To keep things simple I'd just run the output through a 1/3 octave EQ, then into the power amp. Since most EQ's operate at unity gain, or have a unity gain setting they have tremendous overload capability and I doubt that you'd overdrive it.
