The SE162 is an impedance matching device
with a unique and usefull addition - sonic
excitment. It was designed by sound engineers
who desired a way to take signals that may
need some frequency loss compensation, and
send the purified signals down long lines.

Thank you for your purchase of the Rolls SE162 DI/Sonic Exciter.This
product has been designed for years of useful service.We take pride in
our products and appreciate any comments you may have regarding
them.The SE162 takes your program material and adds new life, clarity,
and three dimensionality to your sounds, as well as converting a high
impedance signal to low impedance.
Please read the following manual carefully to ensure proper operation,
and enjoy your new SE162.
INSPECTON
1.Unpack and Inspect the SE162 package
Your SE162 was carefully packed at the factory in a protective carton.
Nonetheless, be sure to examine the unit and the carton for any signs of
damage that may have occurred during shipping. If obvious physical
damage is noticed, contact the carrier immediately to make a damage
claim.We suggest saving the shipping carton and packing materials for
safely transporting the unit in the future.
2.Please complete the Warranty Registration Card and return it to the
factory.
DESCRIPTION
ACTIVE SWITCH:Engages and disengages the SE162 process. When
out, the unit is bypassed.
INPUT: Controls the level of input signal.
BOTTOM: Controls the low frequency cut/boost (flat or no cut/boost is at
about 11’clock). There is a 0 to 1/2 turn spectrum spread from mid-range
to bass with this control as well as amplitude control.
DEFINITION: Controls the amount of sonic clarity and sound spread.
Setting it on 0 is flat response and minimal spread, on 10 is maximum
spread and definition.
PWR LED: Indicates that the RP262 is connected to an AC outlet, and
the power is turned on.

WHAT IS A SONIC EXCITER?
The human ear can detect a frequency range of roughly 20Hz to 20kHz.
However, the frequency response that a normal speaker can effectively
reproduce is much, much less.Additionally, speakers add distortion and
phase changes that make the sound quite different from that of the
original material.
A sonic exciter restores clarity and presence to the processed signal by
correcting phase changes and harmonic structure differences.In other
words, it puts the components of the sound back where they belong.
All of this magic is done by the use of all-pass filtering,
frequency compensated gain adjustment, and compensated frequency
domain delay.What this means to you is the elements of your sound are
fanned out like a deck of cards, making each sound more audible and
distinct, reducing the need for high volume and radical equalizer adjust-
ment.
