Congratulations on purchasing the Samson S curve 231 dual channel,1/3 Octave, 31 Band Constant Q
Graphic Equalizer! Although this product is designed for easy operation, we suggest you take some
time out first to go through these pages so you can fully understand how we’ve implemented a number
of unique features.
The S curve 231 is a professional quality signal processor that gives you precise tonal control over a
stereo, or two mono audio signals. Center detented sliders with LED illumination allow you to selec-
tively cut or boost selected frequency areas by as much as 24 dB. Front panel controls include output
level sliders, a variable Lowcut filter, as well as Cut Only, Range and Bypass switches. The rear panel
provides electronically balanced inputs and outputs on 1/4-inch and XLR connectors. Thanks to low
noise circuitry, the S curve 231 can be used in a wide variety of applications, including live performance
(in conjunction with either Front Of House or monitor mixers), in broadcast environments, or for record-
ing.
In this manual, you’ll find a more detailed description of the features of the S curve 231, as well as a
guided tour through the front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for using the unit, suggested
applications for use with a patch bay, a Real Time Analyzer (RTA) or for ringing out monitor systems.
You’ll also find a warranty card enclosed—please don’t forget to fill it out and mail it so that you can
receive online technical support and so we can send you updated information about other Samson
