its a hardware equilizer and am wanting to run audio from it but the connections on the back are weird. its a crappy pic but can anybody tell me how to hook this up? there are no XLR or 1/4 audio jacks, just those weird connectors that ive never seen...

Ummm, yeah. That thing has some weird connections on it. I've never seen that before. Something tells me that it isn't made for studio use, but there are those on this board who know a lot more than I do. Maybe someone can tell you what those things are.

This is vintage gear... made before all the nerdy connection types you guys mentioned were ever conceived.

Lets break this down:

Cables carry voltage, regardless of their connector on the end. So take a shitty RCA cable or whatever, hack the end off, and hook it up.

Where you probably will run into an issue will be input sensitivity. The level you're likely running into it will be -10db. Who knows what kind of input signal this EQ is anticipating (or outputting for that matter).

Take a better picture of the back where we can read all that detailed stuff.
