ART EQ341 DUAL 15 BAND EQUALIZER

ART?s 341 Dual Channel 15 band 2/3 octave graphic equalizer features: constant Q circuitry
with a 3% center frequency accuracy, 20mm center detent sliders, selectable boost/cut range
of 6dB or 12dB, active balanced and unbalanced input and output connect-ions, variable input
level control, clip level indicators, ground lift switch, internal power supply and selectable line
voltage switch. A range control switch is provided allowing you to set the maximum boost or
cut for each band of equalization to either 6dB or 12dB. Each channel has its own bypass switch
with LED indicator. The rugged, all-steel constructed chassis occupies 1U rack space and is
intended for installation in standard 19" equipment racks.
Multiple input and output configurations are provided for ease of use and incorporate paralleled
connections. The XLR and 1/4" TRS connectors use active balanced, low noise circuitry. XLR
connections are: Pin 1 = ground, Pin 2 = Hot (+), and Pin 3 = Cold (-). The 1/4" TRS connections
are: Tip = Hot (+), Ring =Cold (-), and Sleeve = ground. Both the XLR and 1/4" connectors may
be used in an unbalanced configuration. The RCA jacks are unbalanced. The 341 is designed to
work with a variety of signal levels. The input level control covers a wide range and can easily
accommodate -10 and +4 signal levels. A clip LED will light when a signal level of 5dB before
clipping occurs.
The 341 may be used in a variety of applications such as live sound, recording studios, instrument
racks as well as any conventional fixed installation environment. Use the 341 equalizer wherever
modification of the frequency contour of a sound is needed. The 341 graphic equalizer is a powerful
tool for solving a number of audio problems and creating interesting sound textures. Patch the EQ
between your mixing console and power amps to allow you to alter the overall mix to better match
your environment. Use the 341 between your monitor mixer and monitor power amps to aid in the
removal of feedback inducing frequencies. Patch into a channel insert to EQ one channel or track
individually. Run your instrument directly into the equalizer to enhance its sound before reaching a
power amplifier or instrument amplifier. Patch the 341 into the effects loop of an instrument amplifier
or between a preamp and power amp to have precise control over the complete sound.
The 341 Dual 15 Band Eq has the features and performance you need for any of your audio applications
requiring equalization. For the latest in equalizer technology today, check out the 341 at your favorite

parametric equalizer available today. Designed to optimize absolute signal integrity
and musical performance, the AD2055 combines the best of active and passive filter
topologies with sonic excellence unequaled by lesser designs. The AD2055 is the
perfect solution for two buss music-program equalization, special instrument EQ and
FX applications and ultra high performance mastering studio's.

Features include state-of-the-art, balanced 100% discrete, Pure Class A signal amplifiers,
practical user features and rugged hardware designed to deliver true high performance
audio for many years. 

PASSIVE-ACTIVE FILTER DESIGN
Avalon equalizers feature the unique combination of both active and passive filter EQ designs.
This special combination enables the AD2055 to deliver high speed transient detail at the
operational extremes of real-world equalization demands. The passive high and low bands offer
alternate musical tone range to the full function active parametric mid bands. Passive equalizers
have long been a favorite with music lovers around the world.  Full bodied, powerful (up to +/-32dB,
64dB range !) and sweet frequency selections are the benefits of the passive high-low EQ bands.
The full bandwidth twin mid bands provide variable frequency selection (X10 frequency multipliers
for very wide range), variable Q (width) and amplitude control.

MINIMUM SIGNAL PATH DESIGN
Avalon's advanced true symmetry design offers high-voltage, large headroom, extended bandwidth
and very low noise. The use of 100% discrete, Pure Class A signal amplifiers give the serious music
professional unlimited sonic character and a natural harmonic detail that enhances the program
material and becomes one with the music itself. The Avalon AD2055 breathes life!
