Night Illumination Design

There are basically three types of equalizers: graphic, parametric, and a hybrid
of these two, often referred to as para-graphic. Additionally, there are passive
equalizers, which have no gain, active gain pre-amps, which have a again
stage usually with a volume control, and booster equalizers which we won't
consider here since they are inferior passive equalizers with inexpensive IC
amplifier built-in.

As in state-of-the-art home audio systems the optimum system requires a
dedicated pre-amp with enormous gain to drive the various power amplifiers.
Since home audio amplifiers do not have adjustable sensitivity, the require a
high output pre amplifier to drive them to maximum levels.

This unit is the first production pre amplifier to incorporate a specific
bandwidth parametric equalizer with 12dB boost or cut on its seven bands, it
can compensate for the seven acoustic anomalies unique to the automotive
environment. This unit easily becomes the "Mission control Center" of any high
end automotive sound system.
