If hum persists try disconnecting the shield on one or more of the cables in the system, preferably at the input of a device, not at the output. OPERATION AND APPLICATION NOTES The dbx 2-Series Graphic Equalizers are useful audio signal processing tools in situations where precise frequency control is required across the audible frequency spectrum. When used with an audio spectrum analyzer the EQs can tune any acoustical environment -- from the studio to the concert hall -- to stop ringing, increase clarity, and flatten the overall frequency response of the environment. A real-time spectrum analyzer or other types of audio environment analyzers are very useful in determining the amount of equalization needed. 9 User Manual 2-Series Insert the graphic equalizer between the signal source (usually a mixer) and the power amplifiers (or the crossover if there is one).
