4. セットアップとインストール

最適なパフォーマンスを得るには、適切な設置が不可欠です。設置は資格を持った専門家に依頼することをお勧めします。

4.1 取り付け

• Choose a secure, dry location for mounting the EQ4, typically in-dash or under the dashboard.
• ユニットの周囲に十分な換気を確保してください。
• Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the equalizer.

4.2配線接続

Refer to the labels on the rear panel for correct connections.

• 電源（BATT+）： Connect to a constant +12V power source from the vehicle's battery. Use an inline fuse (not supplied) for protection.
• グラウンド (GND): Connect to a solid chassis ground point in the vehicle. Ensure a clean, metal-to-metal connection.
• リモート（REM IN）： Connect to the remote turn-on lead from your head unit or ignition switch. This will turn the EQ4 on/off with your audio system.
• Main Input (MAIN-IN): Connect RCA cables from your head unit's main audio outputs to these inputs.
• 補助入力（AUX-IN）： Connect RCA cables from an auxiliary audio source (e.g., portable media player) to these inputs.
• Outputs (FRONT OUT, REAR OUT, SUB OUT): Connect RCA cables from these outputs to the corresponding inputs on your amplifiers。

Caution: Incorrect wiring can damage the unit or your vehicle's electrical system. Always disconnect the vehicle's battery before making any electrical connections.

7。 トラブルシューティング

If you experience issues with your EQ4, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• 電源なし: Check the power, ground, and remote connections. Ensure the inline fuse (if used) is not blown. Verify the remote turn-on signal from your head unit.
• 音が出ない: Verify all RCA input and output connections. Ensure the input selector is set correctly (AUX/MAIN). Check the volume and fader settings. Confirm that connected ampライフファイアは電源が入っており、機能しています。
• ねじれ： Reduce the input gain on the EQ4 or the output level from your head unit. Ensure amplifier gains are set appropriately. Check for damaged or loose wiring.
• Noise (Hissing, Whining): Check all ground connections for cleanliness and security. Ensure RCA cables are routed away from power cables to prevent interference. Consider using a ground loop isolator if noise persists.
