You have purchased one of the most exciting and innovative audio products available for your car stereo system – the AudioControl EQX Equalizer/Crossover/Level Matcher. The EQX can make any system sound better. Even if you have followed the true path of enlightenment and are having your new EQX professionally installed, it doesn’t hurt to read this manual. There’s nothing but reruns on the tube anyway! The EQX carries on a great tradition started back in 1985, when we introduced the original EQX. It was the first serious stereo component for mobile audio. Since then, AudioControl has gone on to win numerous awards and collect many glowing reviews for its innovative autosound products. We have learned a great deal about cars, stereos, and acoustics over the years. All of this has been poured into the new EQX to give you the tools to make your car stereo the envy of all your pals. We design, test, and build each EQX Equalizer/ Crossover right here in the misty rain forests1 of the Pacific Northwest. When you look inside the rugged two-piece steel chassis, you’ll find we use only premium electronic parts and gold- plated RCA jacks. It all adds up to a product that will provide you with many years of listening enjoyment and will literally outlast your vehicle. 1At last count, we see the sun only 129 days each year, so we use the abundant indoor hours doing what we do best – improving and inventing audio products – besides, it keeps us from going insane. 1 Introduction
