Is there anyone out there that is familiar with a Western Electric KS-20159-L2 Equalizer Amplifier and knows how to connect it, or at least can give me some general information on putting audio down dry pairs? We are a college radio station and use dry pairs sometimes to send audio back to our studio for remote broadcasts. Unfortunately, our setup had very muddy-sounding audio (almost no high end) and after testing, its frequency response was anything but flat. I've been assured by our telecom people that the dry pair itself is unconditioned. The equalizing amplifier installed was a Western Electric KS-20159-L2. My first question is should this unit be installed at the transmitting or receiving end. When I found it, it was installed at the transmitting end, but I've been told that's incorrect.
Unfortunately, during troubleshooting, I made the mistake of disconnecting the Equalizer Amp to substitute another one in (that ended up not working at all!) and when I went to reconnect the Western Electric one, discovered that none of the ~20 screw terminals on it are labeled! Can anyone provide a manual/tell me what wires go to what terminals? Any other dry pair advice?
Thank you, Eric Kotz Engineering Director WITR Radio
