NEW YORK Tbe iecevezt2 MODEL 550 EQUALIZER Features: + Three range - eleven frequenc: boost or attenuation in steps to 12dB + Shelving or peaking curves independently Selectable for upper and Lower ranges. + Switchable audio band-pass filter + Transformer coupled output to +28dBn + Low noise and distortion + Panel mounting 14" x 5k" + Utilizes Automated Processes’ 2520 Op Amps. The Autémated Processes Model 550 Equalizer is designed as a highly versatile channel nodule Glen ‘vectprocel equalisation et eleven frequency points in five'stepe of boost or attenuation Cova naximan of ids at each points ‘The eleven frequency points are divided into three ranges with the upper and lover ranges Individual ly selectable as either peaking or shelving. This combination of possibilities makes the 350 ideally sulted for all types of music or voice enhancement and effects equalization, A'band-pass filter (S0He to 15kHz) may be inserted independent of all other selected equalization settings. Ten controls are provided to accomplish the various functions, Three dual concentric rotary switches perform Frequency selection and degree of equalization for the three ranges; the Taner knob selects the desired frequency while the outer kod sets the degree of boost cr cur from fa'nid position (reciprocal equalization) in steps of 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12d, Two push buttons select either the bell-shaped peaking curves or shelving curves for the upper and Youer: frequency ranges. The five center” frequencies in the mid-range are reciprocal belle shaped peaking fanilies- A small toggle switch is used to insert the band-pass filter into the equalizer.

The "High Level” connection is recommended for input Levels between OdBm and +12d8m and provides output capability to +28dBn. The "Low Level" connection permits operation at levels between “15din and Odim without encountering the usual. increase in relative noise level. The maximin output capability in this connection is equivalently reduced to +20din. ‘The Model 550 Equalizer makes use of Automated Processes 2520 operational amplifiers and therefore exhibits the reliability, long life and uniformity which are characteristic of this device. The Model 550 operates from a bipolar power supply of fron #15 to 118 volts permitting Lattitude in system design and assurance of, stability under” normal operating conditions. It ts reverse polarity protected and will withstand 1507 transients reducing the Liitheod of dinage #08 power Ine surges and power supply nalsunctions. Power Gecoupling ts also provided to minimize signal coupling in the power supply lines.‘SHELVING FAMILY Output Impedance: Nominal operating Progran Level?

The "High Level” connection 1s recommended for input Levels between Odi and. ‘12d3n and provides output capability to =28dia, The "Low Level” connection permits operation at levels between “15dBm and Odiim without encountering the usual Gncrease in relative noise Level. The maximum output capability in this connection is equivalently reduced to +20dbn. ‘The Model 550A may be mounted in a suitably machined panel. A cutout of 4 11/16" by 1 15/32", and two 44-40 tapped holes will be required (see dimensional drawing). The panel of the Model "350A will overlap the panel cutout and holes Connections are made to the 80 contact female connector supplied and are shown below.

Gain Adjustment ‘The Model 550A is factory adjusted to provide unity voltage gain in both High Level and Low Level configurations. However, gain may be increased by the use of a gain trim resistor between terminals 8 and 11; The value of this resistor for various gain settings is given in the table below. An additional gain increase or reduction of approximately B48 may be obtained by means of the input and output terminals provided. Connecting to High Level In and Low Level Out reduces gain, while Low Level In and High Level Out increases gain.
