BSS Opal FCS-966 Constant Q Graphic Eq
Graphic equalisers are found in just about every sound application, from room contouring to feedback control and general audio sweetening.
Traditionally, much general eq'ing takes place on the faders alone, but this restricts the use of the faders at each end of the scale for further precision eq work. So we provided the Opal FCS-966 with separate LF and HF contour filters which can change an overall sound balance without disturbing a detailed room or loudspeaker response.
These filters are very musical gentle boost and cut shelving filters which can be used to add (or remove) room effects that change with temperature, audience numbers or humidity.
All these effects can be easily made without disturbing the critical fader settings already made.
Constant Q Filters
The modern generation of graphic eq's
uses the Constant Q topology, pioneered by BSS Audio, which means that the filter width is constant whatever the fader gain setting.
Compared to the earlier 'gyrator' style of filters, Constant Q filters provide a smoother and more predictable interaction between adjacent faders and the resulting eq curve more closely resembles the actual fader positions.
More Gain Control Per Filter
Each eq fader has +/-15dB of adjustable gain, more than many competitive graphic eq's. The faders are long-throw 45mm types for precision control.
High Pass Filter
Also provided on the FCS-966 is a sweepable high-pass filter which can be used very effectively to restrict the low-energy output for better amplifier and loudspeaker performance. Stage monitors also benefit from the application of a high-pass filter to remove bass signals e.g. from vocal-only wedges.
Metering
BSS Audio believes in providing engineers with information, and the FCS-966's 8-segment led meter shows output level and warns of signal clipping within the eq. When the unit is switched to bypass, the meter will read the input level, allowing accurate matching of the 'dry' and equalised signals using the gain control.
Centre Bypass
When any eq fader is in its centre detent position, the filter is automatically bypassed, for optimum performance.
Input/Outputs
All the inputs and outputs of the FCS-966 are electronically balanced, with optional transformer balancing. To make installation of the FCS-966 easier, we've provided three differerent interface connectors: XLR-type, 1/4" TRS jack and Phoenix/Combicon screw terminals.
Relay Bypass
The EQ IN buttons switch the EQ path
into circuit. When switched out, or power fails, a high-quality relay switches the input signal directly to the output connectors.

| 1231 Dual 31-Band Graphic Equalizer
The dbx? 12 Series were designed to meet the needs of the most demanding sound reinforcement environments, while offering the simplicity of straightforward controls. The 1231 provides standard features like dual-channels, 31 1/3 octave bands, ISO frequency centers, +/- 12 dB input gain range, and switchable 40Hz/18 dB per octave low-cut filters, but also includes other insightful features. These include 45 mm faders; selectable +/-6dB or +/-15dB boost/cut range for precise gain adjustments; XLR, barrier strip, and 1/4'' TRS connectors for installation ease; balanced inputs and outputs for quiet operation; and chassis/signal ground lift capabilities for quick hum isolation. The visionary design of the dbx 12 Series makes your job easier.
The dbx 12 Series Equalizers were precision engineered to provide years of maintenance-free operation in any application. The magnetically isolated transformer, electronically balanced/unbalanced inputs and servo balanced/unbalanced outputs, RF-filtered inputs and outputs, and power-off hard-wire relay bypass with 2 second power up delay were steps our engineers took to ensure compatibility for all installations. Only the best components were utilized, yielding a 10Hz to 50kHz frequency response, greater than 90dB SNR (ref +4dBu), less than 0.005% THD +Noise (1kHz at +4dBu), and interchannel crosstalk of less than -80dB from 20Hz to 20kHz. All this attention to detail is contained in a 3U steel/aluminum chassis.

Art + Science = Magic
The Engineering Group at TC Electronic were given carte blanche to create the optimal studio
signal processor. Being musicians and studio engineers themselves, they know what is important
and have a feel for what you are looking for. Working on the borderline between art and science,
they created the M2000.
Designed for the artist within you, you will create magic when using the M2000.
Main features
Magic
The M2000 provides you with a broad palette of high quality effects enabling you to
create magical effects. The true dual engine configuration allows you to run two full-
blown effects simultaneously, i.e. on two individual effects sends. The effects have
been developed for optimal sonic quality with no compromises made. This has only
been possible because our engineers succeeded in combining the latest technology
with TC's powerful DARC? chip.
Ultimate User-Interface
The user-friendly TC feature, the Recall Wizard, instantly finds the preset that suits
your need in any situation. You simply enter your preferences, such as gentle reverb
for vocal, or extra pitch for guitar and the Wizard serves you a short list of presets ready
to compare and use.
Uncompromising Effects
The M2000 gives you access to a stunning array of Reverb, Pitch-shifting, Delays, Chorus,
Dynamics etc. Among the included reverbs you?ll find the unique Co-efficient Optimized
Room Emulator or C.O.R.E. Reverb? based upon TC?s famous reverberation Technology.
Another unique feature in the M2000 is the Dynamic Morphing. This function enables you to
apply e.g. Chorus to a vocal at low volume levels, while the same effect is being morphed into
flanging at high levels giving the signal a totally new dynamic dimension.
The Sensation
The M2000 is fully prepared for the digital age with Digital I/O connectors, S/PDIF and the
professional format AES/EBU. However, specifications never tell the whole story. What really
matters is how your final mix sounds. This is where TC?s long experience and know-how in high-end
studio signal processing becomes important.
More Features
250 factory presets, including Delay, Reverb, Ambience, Pitch, Dynamics, EQ + more.
True stereo Twin Engine processing with six different routings available.
Dynamic Morphing? and Patch Glide with adjustable glide times.
20bit Analog Conversion (105dB Dynamic Range A to D): 10Hz-20Khz bandwidth
AES/EBU (24bit) and SPDIF (24bit) digital I/O. + 16bit dithering tool for DAT output.
Wizard Help menus assist user in preset choices on an easy to read scrolling bit-mapped display.
Tap tempo and MIDI tempo Delay presets. Tap tempo button and footswitch jack.
Both 128 user and 128 Combi-user presets + 4 snapshot memories.
