Dear friend of audio culture,
Only a dream?
A truly musical equalizer which enhances any sound by providing a new dimension of depth,
width, brilliance and openness? Which replaces the tedious search for an adequate change with
finding the right setting intuitively in no time at all? And which offers a truly universal concept,
covering recording, mixing, mastering and creative tasks without cutting back?
You have just woken up. The museq has been designed with exactly these requirements in mind.
You can compliment yourself on your new EQ! A similar combination of flexibility and high grade
audio paths without the slightest compromise is rare to find, and – as far as our experience goes –
the special elysia features like high and low pass filters with additional resonance peak as well as
the integrated warm circuit are unique in the market.
Please take a little time to read this manual thoroughly, as it will help you to entirely understand
the enormous potentials and to really push the envelope. We have paid great attention to practical experience and fast comprehension, which is also the reason for reserving the explanation of
the technological excesses of the museq to our website.
Finally, we would like to thank you sincerely for your confidence in our products. If you have further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us – we enjoy being of your service.
But for now, it’s time to wish you lots of fun and musical experiences with your museq.
Use the Force…

BASICS
Controls
Both channels of the museq are absolutely identical regarding their electronic design. Therefore
both sides of the front panel have exactly the same controls and switches. Every potentiometer
offers 23 steps for a comfortable recall with an ample choice of values.

Mains module
This module combines the line cord connector, the on/off switch, the fuse holder with integrated 230/115 VAC voltage selector and a line filter for providing the transformer with
clean current.
WARNING: High voltage
Make sure to disconnect the line cord before replacing eventually blown fuses or changing
the operating voltage of the unit! In order to change the operating voltage, the fuse holder
has to be taken out and re-inserted so that the desired voltage can be read correctly (and is
not standing upside down). Note: Some export versions have a fixed voltage of e.g. 100 or
115 VAC and cannot operate at 230 VAC.
WARNING: Fuses
Always make sure to use the correct fuses for the chosen voltage: 230 VAC 0.8 A Slo-Blo or
115 VAC 1.6 A Slo-Blo. Incorrect or missing fuses are dangerous safety hazards for both the
unit and yourself!

Note: If a device that is placed in the signal chain before the museq has an unbalanced
output stage, a complete mute can eventually occur when the equalizer is activated. If this
happens, please follow the advice on the next page.
Level Issues
Low Level
This problem can eventually be caused by balanced wiring. If the level becomes low when the
museq is activated, a pin of the XLR connector at the input is probably not connected. To ensure
proper operation, make sure to have both pins connected.
The classic example for this problem is a balanced XLR cable that is connected to an unbalanced
output which only uses ground and pin 2 – connecting pin 3 to ground should solve the trouble.
Level Jump
In some audio processors the output stage is designed in a way that the level will always stay the
same – no matter if it is connected with a balanced or an unbalanced cable. If pin 3 is connected
to ground, for example, the level at pin 2 will automatically become twice as loud as before. This
kind of output stage is usually unproblematic.
But there are also stages which cannot compensate that. Then the level at pin 2 stays as it is, even
if pin 3 is connected to ground. If the museq is placed between a device with this kind of output
stage and a device with unbalanced inputs with pin 3 connected to ground, it is possible that the
level will jump up by 6 dB when the equalizer is activated.
As a general rule, balanced input stages are always the best choice. In case they are not available,
the first attempt to solve this problem should be to disconnect pin 3 at the XLR inputs of the
museq and then connect it to ground. This generates an unbalanced signal that should not shift
levels anymore.
Symbols
In order to maintain a clearly arranged front panel, the museq uses the following symbols:
Low Cut
LED on: filter is in Low Cut mode | LED off: filter is in Low Shelf mode
Cut Gain
LED on: frequency band is attenuated | LED off: frequency band is boosted
Narrow Q
LED on: high quality factor (Q) | LED off: low quality factor (Q)
BASICS – Level Issues & Symbols
High Cut
LED on: filter is in High Cut mode | LED off: filter is in High Shelf mode
