OPERATING / SERVICE MANUAL FPE 13

PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER

QUICK START

No one likes to read manuals. Everyone likes to plug in and turn on. That’s usually OK, and

with a very few exceptions, damage is unlikely to result from such procedures with the FPE 13.

If you are using the FPE 13 in an insert loop of a mixer, hook-up is extremely easy. Simply

connect them together using a single stereo cable (¼" TRS) between the mixer’s insert loop and

the FPE 13’s PATCH I/O jack. This jack is wired for the tip=send, ring=return convention used

by mixer manufacturers.

Anyone familiar with other parametric equalizers will find this one very similar. One word

of caution: the FREQ range switches can drastically change the center frequency of a given

filter. A range of 10Hz to 20kHz may be achieved with the proper operation of the switches and

the FREQ sweep control. If full boost is applied with a filter LEVEL control and a change is

made in the setting of the FREQ range switch, disastrous results may occur. BE CAREFUL.

To operate the filters, set the range switch for the desired mulitple frequency band, set the

BW (bandwidth) control for the desired bandwidth and then boost or cut the desired amount

using the filter LEVEL control.

Never connect anything except AN ANE APPROVED R POWER SUPPLY TO THE THING THAT LOOKS

LIKE A FPE 13.TELEPHONE JACK ON THE REAR OF THE This is an AC input and requires special

attention if you do not have an operational power supply exactly like the one that was originally

packed with your unit. See the full explanation of the power supply requirements elsewhere in

this manual.

SYSTEM CONNECTION

When connecting the FPE 13 to other components in your

system for the first time, leave the power supply for last. This

will give you a chance to make mistakes and correct them

before any damage is done to your fragile speakers, ears and

nerves.

INPUTS on the FPE 13 are balanced. This means that

standard 3-pin (XLR) connectors on the ends of any good

quality cable will work well between your other signal

processing and amplification gear. As with all Rane products,

pin 2 is used for “hot” or “+” signal polarity, pin 3 is “return”

or “–” and pin 1 is signal ground. If unbalanced operation is

required, wire your connector so that pins 1 and 3 are shorted

together and drive your unbalanced signal into pin 2. Then

use the combination of 1 and 3 for signal ground/return. You

may use either pin 1 or case for shield ground. (See Rane

Note 110 for further information on this subject).

OUTPUTS. The FPE 13’s Outputs are balanced as well.

Again, pin 2 is hot and pin 3 is not. Pin 1 is signal ground.

True balanced operation requires only the use of pins 2 and 3

for signal and either case ground (chassis) or pin 1 signal

ground for shielding. If unbalanced output is your preference,

use pin 2 as signal and pin 1 as return. Use case ground for

shield. Again, have a look at Rane Note 110 for more detail.

EXPANDING the Inputs and

Outputs has been accommodated

with ¼" jacks whose tip is connected

to pin 2 of the 3-pin connectors, ring

is connected to pin 3 and sleeve is

connected to pin 1. These ¼" jacks

may be used for primary Inputs and

Outputs should you wish to do so.

These connectors may also be used

for daisychaining the Inputs so more

than one processor can be driven from a single source, but

only one is an Input; they do not sum. The second Output

connector may be used to drive a second processor or

amplifier without special cabling.

PATCH I/O to channel inserts on most mixers has been

made very simple. Connecting a shielded stereo tip-ring-

sleeve (TRS) cable between the FPE 13’s PATCH I/O and a

TRS insert on your console implements this feature.

SIGNAL LEVELS applied to the FPE 13 may cover a

broad dynamic range. This device has been optimized to

operate perfectly with all signal processing and amplification

gear. The only signal level problems encountered will be with

very low level sources, such as microphones. Do not directly

connect mic levels into the FPE 13. Use a mic preamp first.

FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION

1. OVERALL BYPASS SWITCH & INDICATOR. This pushbutton switch activates

the “hard-wire” bypass function. When in its in position, all three pins of the Input

connector(s) are directly connected to the same pins on the Output connector(s) and

the red LED lights. Engaging this switch converts the FPE 13 to a relatively expen-

sive patch cord with pretty lights.

2. MASTER OVERLOAD INDICATOR. This red LED illuminates whenever the

input, output, or any of the three parametric filters exceeds a level of 4dB below

clipping. Occasional flickering is normal; however, it should not be allowed to light

steadily.

3. INPUT GAIN CONTROL. This rotary control increases INPUT gain as it is rotated

clockwise. Its range is from OFF at full CCW rotation to +20dB at full CW.

4. FREQUENCY RANGE SWITCH. The calibrations on this three position switch

indicate the factor by which the frequency calibrations of the Frequency sweep

control (5) should be multiplied. For instance, if the range switch is in the “x0.1”

position and the sweep knob is at 460, then the actual center frequency of the filter is

46Hz. The proper operation of this switch in conjunction with the sweep control

yields a range of 10Hz to 20kHz.

5. FREQUENCY SWEEP CONTROL. This rotary control increases the center

frequency of its filter as it is rotated clockwise. It is calibrated from 100 to 2k, and its

exact frequency is determined by the range switch described in (4), above.

6. FILTER LEVEL CONTROL. This rotary control determines the amount of boost

or cut applied to the FPE’s passband by its filters. The center detent, cleverly placed

at the center of rotation of this control, provides a ground for the filter which com-

pletely eliminates the filter’s influence over FPE 13 operation. Rotating this knob

clockwise increases the gain at the center frequency of the filter, CCW from center

decreases the gain at said center frequency.

7. FILTER BANDWIDTH CONTROL. Calibrated from .03 octaves to 2.0 octaves,

this rotary control adjusts the “width” of coverage of each filter. .03 octave (1/30

octave) will yield the narrowest coverage. Bandwidths this narrow are normally

reserved for notch feedback control. Higher settings yield smoother curves and are

convenient for program sweetening and acoustic compensation.

8. POWER LIGHT. This yellow LED illuminates any time power is supplied to the

FPE 13 from a Rane RS 1 or VC 18 single power supply, RAP 10 or FRS 8 multiple

power supply. Other power sources could conceivably cause illumination of the LED

and several ICs and resistors inside.
