Connecting the PEQ 3000-DT
Desktop Controller (optional)
Getting the Desktop Controller up and running couldn't get any easier. Plug the included
USB cable into the unit's rear micro-USB port, and connect the other end to a free USB
port on your computer. The Desktop Controller is bus powered so no other power cables
are necessary, and no additional drivers need to be manually installed.

The Desktop Controller will light up upon successful connection. You can now apply the
plug-in to a channel in your DAW to begin using the effect. This process may vary slightly
depending on your software, but generally should require these steps:
• Select a channel or bus in your DAW to which you would like to add the effect Access
the mixer page where you should see a section dedicated to effect slots
• Open the menu where you can select from a list of effect types, which probably
includes many stock plugins that are included with the DAW. There should be
submenu to view general VST/AU/AAX options.
• The plug-in will likely be found in a dedicated TC Electronic folder. Select the
PEQ 3000 and it will now be added to the signal chain.
Double click on the effect slot that contains the PEQ 3000-DT to view the plug-in UI.
There should be a green link icon at the bottom, and text that indicates successful
connection between the plug-in and the Desktop Controller.
Operating the PEQ 3000
After you have installed the plug-in, activated the iLok license and optionally connected

or via the physical Desktop Controller.
