EQ215

DUAL CHANNEL 'CONSTANT Q' 15 BAND GRAPHIC EQUALIZER

Building on 20

years of EQ design

and manufacture,

ARX once again

redefines the

standard for

Graphic Equalizers!

There are times when a 10 band Graphic Equalizer isn't enough, but a 30 band EQ is too much. For times like these, we've designed the ARX EQ215. It's a dual channel 15 band Graphic Equalizer built to the same exacting standards as our EQ260, but designed especially for non-critical applications where the program material is predominantly pre-recorded and pre-processed.

Typical installation applications are, for example, in AV installs, Karaoke bars, home theatre, project studio control rooms or DJ systems.

Delivering flawless professional performance, it is neatly housed in a compact 2 RU all steel chassis.

Quality you can feel

On the EQ215's satin grey front panel, each channel has 15 of our new

olution

ers, switchable to either ±15dB or ±6dB, for the ideal combination of high fader resolution and maximum cut and boost.

As well, there is a Gain recovery control with up to +10 dB of gain; a Clip LED to indicate circuit overload, a switchable, sweepable 20200Hz High Pass filter, and a hardwire bypass switch which removes the EQ15 completely from the signal path.

Accurate Constant Q Circuitry

Internally, the EQ215 features innovative Constant Q circuitry . The primary visualbenefit of this is that the graphical representation of the sliders on the front panel more

long throw, centre grounding slid-

Extended Res-

accurately reflects the changes you are making to the sound - in other words,

'what you see is what you get.'

Combine this with the EQ215's ultra low noise circuitry , and you have an equalizer that is unsurpassed for total accuracy .

Additionally, at the 0dB slider position each filter is, in effect, removed from the circuit to further enhance the EQ215's low noise figures.

Balanced Inputs and Outputs

On the rear panel, each channel of the EQ215 has true differential Balanced Inputs and Servo Balanced Outputs, with both XLR as well as convenient TRS balanced jack connectors.

There is also an audio ground lift switch to isolate the audio ground from the chassis ground.

Universal AC Power

AC power range is a universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V AC, and is connected to the unit via a removable power lead and standard 3 pin IEC connector , with builtin fuse and voltage switch.

When you need superlative, uncompromising audio quality but can't justify the use of a dual 30 band EQ, we believe the EQ215 is the only graphic equalizer to choose.

With its compact High Density design and precision electronics, the ARX EQ215 will truly enhance any pro audio application.

The Graphic Equalizer shall be a dual channel unit in a steel chassis eight inches deep and two rack units high, with an all steel front panel.

Each channel shall have 15 x 60mm (45mm travel) long throw centre grounding sliders on standard ISO frequencies, from 25 Hz to 16KHz.

At the 0 point each slider shall effectively be off, and removed from the circuit.

Each channel shall also have a hardwire Bypass switch on the front panel, a High Pass filter sweepable between 20 and 200 Hz, and a range switch to change the maximum cut or boost between ±15dB and ±6dB.

There shall also be an LED to indicate the onset of clipping. In addition, each channel shall have a rotary Gain control, from infinity through 0dB to +10dB gain.

The equalizer shall have electronically Balanced inputs and outputs, on both TRS jack and XLR type connectors, with passive RFI filters and an Input impedance of 40 Kohms (20 Kohms unbalanced).
