26 Parametric Equalizers 
offer complete equaliza

trol that can tune over a 5.5 octave 
range, with variable bandwidth from 
3.3 to 1/20 octave. 
Some applications include: shaping 
the overall response of a sound sys
tem to improve response, feedback 
control, instrument tone control, 
speaker or room resonance prob 
lems, vocal and dialogue equaliza 
tion, broadcast announcer voice 
enhancement, special effects, or any 
application where complete equaliza 
tion control is necessary.
At the heart of the Ashly PQ-Series 
is our unique bandpass filter circuit. 
Basically a "state variable" type, this 
filter is trimmed and optimized to pro 
vide excellent transient response and 
a wide range bandwidth adjustment.

-------------------
Each filter can be tuned over a 50:1 
frequency range (about 5.5 octaves) 
and a 70:1 bandwidth range with no 
more than a 2dB amplitude error at 
center frequency. At its sharpest set 
ting, the filter has a "Q" of about 35 
and generates a response curve with 
3dB points only 1/20 octave apart, 
making feedback control possible 
with no audible side effects.
Tunable low and high frequency 
shelving filters are also provided to 
trim frequency extremes. Each filter is 
placed in the feedback loop of a sum 
ming amplifier to produce the desired 
frequency response. Since a sepa 
rate summing amplifier is used for 
each band, no interaction between 
bands occurs. A hefty output stage is 
provided so that low impedance loads 
and long cable runs may be driven 
with optimal results.
The single channel PQ-16 and the 
stereo PQ-26 (also usable as 12band mono) Parametric Equalizers 
are covered by Ashly's exclusive fiveyear worry-free warranty.
