Recent developments in sound measurement techniques have revealed the limitations
of existing graphic equalisers. The wealth of data that such equipment can provide for
the users requirements – feedback suppression, increased headroom, room equalisation/
compensation can no longer be adequately provided for with a simple graphic equaliser.
The Apex PE MKII is the solution, providing a tool which both enables maximum correction
whilst shaping the response to your specific requirements, combining a full graphic equaliser
with a complementary parametric equaliser/notch filter.

FEATURES:
Electronically balanced input with a balanced floating output stage.
All potential overload points are continuously monitored by an extremely fast “peak-peak”
overload detecter circuit, followed by a “peak-stretching” circuit for clear indication of overload
conditions.
Reliablilty is the hallmark of any product, and the mechanical integrity of the components housing
is the vital prerequisite. Sophistical CAD programmes and advanced engineering concepts have
been applied to the chassis design to eliminate the stress and torsional movements which can
damage the electronics.Special attention has been given to the purity of the signal path.The musicality
of previous designs of Apex equalisers has been well appreciated by users, and the PE continues this
tradition, noise and distortion are significantly better than 16-bit digital.
Fine-tuning your system is essential. The “vernier control” provides adjustment refinement on an
unprecedented scale.
In the event of power failure to the unit, a failsafe relay links the input to the output ensuring that signal
continuity is maintained.

The class-A circuit used in the EQ-73 is similar to the eq section in the classical 1073 module, without the high pass filter. Additional frequencies have been added and the mid frequency band uses two inductors, the higher value of the second one is used for the two lowest frequencies, 160 Hz and 240 Hz, to achieve a suitable response.

The sound character is warm, punchy, sweet and musical. These classic characteristics have been heard on countless recordings through the years and it is a versatile sound that works very well on most sound sources and in most genres. The essence of this sound is now available at a surprisingly low cost, making it available to nearly everyone.

The EQ-73 has stepped frequency controls that offers a wide selection of frequencies from 20 Hz to 24 kHz.

The Low and High frequency bands are shelving and the mid frequency band is of the bell type.

The control range is +/-15 dB for the two lower bands and +/- 18dB for the high frequency band.

There are separate bypass switches for all three bands.

The EQ-73 is made to be used together with one of our PRE-73 models that has an Insert jack. It can also be used with many other units that has a low level insert jack.

Combining a PRE-73 and an EQ-73, and using a UNITE rack kit to mount them together, one will get a 19-inch 1073-style unit at a low cost and with a great sound!

FEATURES

- Vintage Style electronics. No intergrated circuits in the signal path

- 3-band with a dual inductor based mid frequency band

- Stepped frequency selection

- A wide selection of frequencies from 20 Hz to 24 kHz

- Control range up to +/- 18 dB

- Separate Bypass switches for each band

- Tantalum capacitors in the signal path

- Made to be used together with one of our PRE-73 models with an Insert jack or any other unit with a low level Insert jack

- TRS jack for in-and output connection, the nominal working level is around 18 dBu

- Selectable ground lift switch

- External power supply to avoid interaction with the audio circuits

- Great sound that suits most sound sources and genres

- A solid build quality that will last many years of normal use

The Rane ME 15S microGraphic Equalizer is a two-channel, 2/3-octave design with 20 mm sliders in a single rack space unit. It features a Range switch for high slider resolution in the ±6 dB mode, equivalent resolution to 45 mm sliders found on the DEQ 60L. The ±12 dB mode provides a wide range of control over system audio.

The active filter sections feature Raneʼs innovative constant-Q (constant bandwidth) design. Constant-Q means the bandwidth of each individual filter is guaranteed to be narrow enough to prevent unwarranted interaction between filters, yet wide enough to produce exactly the type of correction curve demanded by even the most unusual acoustic surroundings. This differs dramatically from conventional designs of the past, encumbered with the unfortunate characteristic of changing bandwidth when changing boost/cut amounts.

Front panel controls and indicators include an overall rotary Level control for each channel as well as Overload indicators. Passive pushbutton Bypass switches feature LED indicators, avoiding ambiguity by being on when the unit is Bypassed. (A passive Bypass switch requires no power to operate. This allows completion of the audio path should power fail in the ME 15S.)

Inputs and Outputs are electronically balanced designs, capable of unbalanced operation when required. They accept and drive all possible signal levels into normal load impedances. Balanced applications choose between the XLR or 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve connectors. Unbalanced sources also may tie to the ME 15S through mono 1/4" connectors (no ring connection).
