Dual 31-Band Constant Q Equalizer
The DOD SR231Q is a powerful 2 rack space
stereo/dual mono 31-band graphic equalizer of
uncompromising quality, performance, and features.
It allows the user to see a graphic representation of
equalization applied to the audio spectrum of a
sound source, and offers the flexibility to provide
solutions to many EQ problems. The SR231Q offers
up to 12 dB of cut or boost per band, and switchable low cut filters for each channel. Electronic filter switching minimizes transients (loud pops or
clicks when the switch is depressed), and up to
±12 dB of level control is available to compensate
for gain changes due to equalization boost or cut.
Constant Q constant bandwidth from each filter
throughout the full audio spectrum. The SR231Q
can be used as a stereo equalizer or as two independent channels of equalization, providing maximum flexibility for all sound systems. Connections
to the SR231Q may be either impedance balanced
(1/4" tip-ring-sleeve phone plug) or unbalanced
(mono 1/4" phone plug) with XLR connectors available as a factory option.
Low Cut Filter: 12 dB/octave rolloff, 3 dB down @ 50 Hz,
switchable in or out.
Frequency Response: 20 Hz-20 kHz, ±0/-0.5 dB.
Frequency Center Tolerance: 5%.
Slider Control Range: 12 dB cut/boost.
Input Impedance: 40kΩ balanced, 20kΩ unbalanced.
Maximum Input Level: +21 dBu.
Output Impedance: 102Ω balanced, 51Ω unbalanced.
Maximum Output Level:+21 dBu.
Input Gain Control: ±12 dB.
Harmonic Distortion: 0.004% at 1 kHz typical.
Signal-To-Noise Ratio: Greater than 90 dB.
Note: 0 dBu = 0.775 Vrms.
Input Common Mode Rejection: >75 dB@60Hz

The graphic equalizer
shall be a two-channel 31band type with frequency
centers on standard ISO
one-third octave frequencies with 12 dB of boost
and cut for each slider.
Equalization sliders shall
have a center detent at 0
dB with a protective dust
cover behind the front
panel. Low-noise sliders
shall be utilized having a
travel of 20 mm. Each
channel shall have a slider
input gain control with +/12 dB range with center
detent at 0 dB. Bypassing
each EQ channel shall be
accomplished by a frontpanel switch utilizing electronic FET switching to
avoid transients and shall
have an LED to indicate
that the EQ is in. A frontpanel low-cut filter per
channel at 50 Hz with 12 dB/
octave slope shall incorporate electronic FET switching and shall have an LED to
indicate that the filter is
engaged. Output level shall
be monitored on each channel by a four-LED peak-reading bar graph
calibrated to read -10, 0 +10, and +17 dBu.
The input section shall have one input per channel—electronically balanced/unbalanced 1/4" TRS jacks (optional electronically balanced/unbalanced 1/4" TRS and XLR jacks) The output section shall
have one output per channel—impedance balanced/unbalanced 1/4"
TRS jacks (optional impedance balanced/unbalanced 1/4" TRS and balanced XLR jacks).
A front-panel rocker-type power switch shall provide visual indication with red marking. The power supply shall be internal with two
thermally-fused transformers mounted in low hum orientations. The
transformers and primary side of the power supply shall be isolated
from the secondary and electronics by means of a steel hum isolation
shield. The power cord shall be detachable from an international standard IEC 320 power inlet receptacle. Unit shall be constructed to
meet or exceed all applicable international safety and regulatory agencies. Unit shall be powered from 120 VAC 60 Hz (or 100 VAC 50/60
Hz, 230 VAC 50 Hz, 240 VAC 50 Hz). Unit housing shall be of all steel
construction and shall be rack-mountable in an IEC standard 19" rack
and shall occupy a 2U (3.5") rack space. An optional security cover
must be available.
The unit shall be a DOD SR231Q (or SR231QXLR) Graphic
Equalizer.
