Xtant shall not be liable for the incidental, consequential, or commercial damages resulting from the breach of this written warranty. Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts; so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. 7.

The PQM-1 is a one band, parametric equalizer. Adjustments are made using the three, circuit board mounted, potentiometers. These controls are simple to operate and provide a wide range of adjustment. FREQUENCY CONTROLis used to select the center frequency for equalization. A clockwise rotation increases frequency while a counterclockwise rotation decreases frequency. FREQUENCY MODULE:The supplied frequency modules divide the audible frequency range into three bands. The range of the modules are: 20 Hz to 200 Hz, 200 Hz to 2 kHz, and 2 kHz to 20 kHz. Simply install one of the modules and its frequencies are selectable via the FREQUENCY CONTROL . Q ADJUSTMENT:Q is the property of an equalizer that determines the range of fre- quencies affected on either side of the center frequency. Q is equal to the center frequency divided by the bandwidth. As Q goes up, bandwidth decreases. The PQM-1s Q adjustment ranges from a narrow bandwidth of 10 to a very broad bandwidth of 1. Aclockwise rotation increases Q while a counterclockwise rotation decreases Q. BOOST/CUT:This control is used to boost or cut the level of the center frequency. Its adjustment ranges from 18 dB of cutat full counterclock- wise rotation to 18 dB of boostat full clockwise rotation. Flat response (0 dB – no cut or boost) occurs at mid rotation when the slot on the control is in the horizontal position. Xtant Technologies - 7676 South 46th Street - Phoenix, Arizona 85040
