INTRODUCTION PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS Part A: Installation and Operation The Orban &22A/B ore parametric equalizers of high professional quality. The 622A is a single-channel equalizer; the 6228 is @ dual-channel equalizer. Each channel contains four parametric equalization bands. Isolation of the two chonnels in the 628 is extremely high (greater than -90d8, 20-20,000H2). Therefore, ecch channel may be used independently without donger of audible crosstalk. The 622 is equipped with rotary-type EG controls providing up to I6d8 of boost and better than 40d of cut. The controls are non-reciprocaly, providing musically useful "constant-Q" choracteristics, ond permitting the equalizer to be used os @ notch filter. The center frequency ond bandwidth of each band are continuously variable to enable precise control of the audio spectrum. Each channel of the 622 has an electronically-bolenced bridging input end an unbalanced eutput which can be balanced by the addition of on optional output transformer. Input, output, and power line connections all contain effective RF filtering. 1248 of gain is avoilable. All potential overload points in the equalizer fare monitored by on extremely fast "peak-stretching” overload detector, so that peak clipping can be detected ond corrected before it becomes audible. The flexibility offered by the 622 makes it @ particularly powerful tool in nearly all creas of audio: sound reinforcement, public address, recording studio, broadcasting, motion picture sound, dence bars (discos), theater. The 622 easily meets the quality, performance, and reliability requirements of the demanding professional, and is also well-suited for use in semi-pro or audiophile opplicetions. The controls and features of the 622 are fully described in this manual. It will fomiliarize you with the unit's potentiol and enable you to imaginatively use the 622 for your specific installation and application.

The OVERLOAD indicator monitors oll critical points to warn of excessive signal ‘omplitude due to excessive input amplitude or to large amounts of peck boost equalization. It indicetes peak clipping substenticlly before ony audible effects are perceived. Overloads are eliminated by turning down the INPUT control. The CHANNEL EQ IN/OUT switch defeats the entire E@ section, but retains the input buffer and output amplifier so that no gain changes (other than those associcted with large amounts of equalization) occur. In the OUT position, the OVERLOAD LAMP will still operate os if full equolization were occurring. Input/output polarity is constant regardless of the position of this switch. The BAND EQ IN/OUT switches defeat the equalization action of @ given equalizer bond by disconnecting the output of the bondpass resonator from its summing amplifier. Putting unused bands in the OUT position will eliminate ary noise contribution from the resonators and will assure occurate flat response. The EQ controls adjust the maximum peck or dip in each band over o range of +168, -infinity 4B. The TUNING controls adjust the center frequency of each of the four bonds, and have a typical calibration accuracy of +1/3 octave. The BANDWIDTH controls adjust the "Q" (sharpness) of each band. The "a" becomes brooder when turned clockwises sharper when turned counterclockwise. Calibration tolerance is typically +10% of the nominal "@" value. The FUSE used in the 622 is © 3AG slo-blo type: 1/8 amp for either 115 or 230¥ operation. Replace with the same type only. The INPUT ond OUTPUT connectors provided allow connection via barrier strip (IS screw). AC POWER MECHANICAL INSTALLATION The power transformer can be strapped for 115 volt or 230 volt 50 or 60Mz AC ‘operation. If the unit was ordered for 230 volts, a tag on the power cord wars of the modification. The two primary windings of the power transformer are connected in porallel for L15 volt operation, ond in series for 230 volt operation. (See the Schematic Diagram at the back of this manual. To strop the power transformer for a different voltage, remove the top cover of the 622. Strapping instructions are found on the insulating fishpoper cround the power tranformer. It is not necessary to rearrange the heavy insulated wiriags all strapping can be performed with bare jumper wire. Toke care not to burn the insulation. The power cord is terminated in @ "U-Grouna" plug to USA standards. The green (or greeniyellow) wire (which is connected to the long prong) is connected directly to the 622 chassis. If it becomes necessary to lift this ground to suppress ground loops, this should be done with a three-prong to two-prong adapter plug, rather thon by damaging the power plug. It is not recommended that this ground be defected unless absolutely necessary because it eliminates the intrinsic safety feature of the three-wire system. WARNING! IF THE GROUND 15 DEFEATED, CERTAIN FAULT CONDITIONS IN THE UNIT OR THE SYSTEM TO WHICH IT IS CONNECTED CAN RESULT IN APPEARANCE OF FULL LINE VOLTAGE BETWEEN CHASSIS AND EARTH GROUND. SUCH VOLTAGE IS CAPABLE OF CAUSING SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH! Vertical space of two standard rack units (3 1/2%/8.9em) is required. Mounting the unit directly over large heat-producing devices like a vacuum-tube power amplifier may shorten component life and is not recommended. Ambient temperature shavld net exceed 113 degrees F (45 degrees C) when equipment is powered. Balanced Output Transformer Installation: If transformers were not installed ot the factory, refer to the installation instructions furnished with the transformer retrofit kit, available directly from Orban. The transformers supplied with this kit have been designed to have 2 negligible effect on published specificotions. Should you wish to use some other transformers, it would be wise to make coreful performance measurements with special attention to LF distortion and HF response at high output levels, thus determining the output level achievable with performance acceptable for your application. A tronsformer meeting Orban standards should produce approximately +20d8m (limited by clipping ia the output amplifier) without significantly compromising performance. The Electrical Installation section describes grounding procedures inthe event tronsformers are used. ELECTRICAL Connecting the 622 Equalizer to other equipment is quite straightforward. INSTALLATION Pelstively uncomplicated systems (such os home playback systems, "semi-pro" recording studios, electronic music studios, dance bars, etc.) tend te come together without serious grounding problems even if the wiring practices ore somewhat casvcl provided that high RF fields are not present. Unusual situations con be analyzed if you ore familiar with the standard ules governing grounding and interfacing between balanced ond unbalanced systems. The instructions below will apply to the mojority of cases. A comprehensive discussion of interconnections and grounding can be found in the Appendi Input The electronicclly-balanced input of each channel of the 622 equalizer is compatible with most professional end semi-professional sound equipment, balanced for unbalanced, whose source impedance is 600 ohms or less. If it is greater (as in some vacuum-tube audiophile preamps), @ minor modification may be mode to the input to accomodate the situation. Please refer to the Appendix for further details. Nominal input level is between -I0 and +4dBm. The absolute overload point is +26d8m. Output The two outputs of each channel of the 622 are unbalanced (unless fitted with the ‘otionel transformers), and the source impedance is 47 ohms in parallel with 1000F to the chassis (for RFI suppression). Wiring the 622 With Two-Conductor Shielded Cable We recommend wiring with two-conductor shielded cable (such os Belden 8451 or equivalent) because signal current flows through the two conductors only. The shield does not carry signal, is used only for shielding, ond is ordinarily connected to ‘ground at one end only. The following toble ond diagram are applicable to a great majority of installations. 3 Py ee Toe OPWvING KauIPMENT i . i on Sti t Goon, 4 1 i ' i endl) ihre i] fas Gn | yy oer 1 orvvins EQUIPMENT i Govan | Fig, 3: GROUNDING. 4 TABLE |: TYPICAL INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTION RULES: inpur Always use "+" ond "=" as the two input terminals to the 622. When the 622 is driven from on unbalanced source, connect shield both to circuit ground of source, and to chassis ground of 622. When the 622 is driven from o balanced source, connect shield at source end to chassis ground. Do not connect shield ot 622 end. output On the 622 output, comect shield ot 622 end to chassis ground (whether driving belanced or unbelanced). Do not connect shield ot other end. When driving 9 balanced load, jumper circuit ground to chassis ground on 622 (on reer panel). When driving on unbalanced load, do not attach jumper. 622 chassis should always be earth-grounded (i.e. through third wire in power cord or through rack.) For maximum protection from shock, float this ground only as last resort. If optional output transformer(s) are installed on 622, jumper the circuit {ground to chessis ground on the 622. Because it is not always possible to determine if the pieces of equipment driving or being driven by the 622 have their circuit grounds internally connected to thelr chassis grounds (which are always connected to the ground prong of the AC line cord), and because the use of the AC power line ground often introduces problems because it con be noisy or otherwise imperfect, the wiring techniques in the diagram ore not universally applicable. If you follow the diagram and hum or noise appears, don't be afraid to experiment. If the noise sounds like a low-level crackling buzz, then probably there isn't enough grounding. Try connecting the "=" input of the 622 to a chassis ground terminal on the 622's barrier strip and see if the buzz goes away. You con also try stropping the 622's chassis and circuit grounds together, and see if this helps. A ground loop usually sounds like a smooth, steady hum rather than a crackly buzz. If you hove a ground loop, you can often breck it by disconnecting the jumper between circuit and chassis grounds on the 622's rear-ponel barrier strip. In either case, think carefully about what is going on, ond keep in mind the general principle: one and only one circuit ground peth should exist between each piece of equipment! (Bear in mind that the circuit grounds of the two channels of 0 6228 fare connected together internally, and could conceivably introduce a ground loop if you do not take this connection into account in planning your wiring.)
