Owner’s Manual
Firstly, let us congratulate you on your purchase of the DRS-EQ/500
Equalizer designed for the API 500 series Lunchbox or
suitable compatible rack.
We know you will be as pleased with it’s sonic qualities as we are.
You are now the proud owner of an EQ that has the advantages of
more than 40 years experience in audio engineering, today’s component
and manufacturing technology, but still retaining “that sound” uniquely
achievable through Class A design.
As you can tell, Phoenix Audio is dedicated to the development of Class
A discrete technology used within high build-quality equipment.
The DRS-EQ/500 uses our well proven and loved Class A output stage
(DSOP2), but also has our latest breakthrough in transformer-less Class
A, Discrete Input Technology which gives a "valve-like" sound.
You CAN hear the difference!!!
