ART HQ-31 SINGLE 31 BANDS EQ w-FDC

HQ31 - Pro Single 31 Band EQ w/ FDC? Overview

The HQ SERIES HQ-31 features ART?s FDC Feedback Detection Circuitry. The A R T proprietary
FDC differs from similar systems in that it is extremely fast. Although it illuminates the band with
the greatest energy with the brightest LED, it doesn't fully discriminate between bands and will not
get "stuck" on one band when there is no signal.
The HQ-31 utilizes a set of indicators that show which of the many EQ bands has the greatest energy.
The LED indicators can immediately show which band corresponds to the feedback frequency, allowing
the sound engineer to reduce gain in that band to quickly kill the feedback while having a minimal impact
on the sound of the live program material.
FDC also acts as a simple spectrum viewer while the concert proceeds showing where the ?hot? areas
are. During system setup and sound check, the FDC may be used to help identify room and sound system
resonances. By increasing the gain until feedback, it is easy to identify those frequencies that are likely
to be problems. Reducing the gain in these bands helps tune the sound system, and, remove problem
areas before the show begins. It also helps increase the gain margin before feedback.
The HQ31 also features Constant-Q circuitry, 45mm center detent sliders with selectable boost or cut
range of 6dB or 12dB, balanced XLR, Ό? and unbalanced RCA input and output connections, high and
low pass filters, analog level metering, variable input controls, signal clip level indicators, ground lift switch,
internal power supply and selectable line voltage. The rugged, all-steel chassis occupies 2U rack spaces
and is intended for installation into standard 19? equipment racks.
Applications for the HQ-31 include: Live Sound Systems/PA, Permanent or Fixed Installations, Church,
Club and Practice PA Systems, DJ Sound Systems, Home and Project Recording Systems, and Monitor
Systems.

lives up to the dbx legacy of uncompromised sonic integrity. In
addition to unsurpassed equalization specs, the iEQ-15 also offers
the built-in necessities which include AFS? feedback Suppression,
Type V? noise reduction and PeakStopPlus? limiting. Besides
including two 15-band channels of 2/3-octave equalization, the iEQ-15
also offers +12 dB input gain range; switchable +6 or +15 dB boost/cut
range, 40mm faders, XLR, 1/4'' and Euroblock inputs and outputs,
nonconductive nylon sliders; and an intuitive user interface with comprehensive
output and gain reduction metering. As always, the inevitable result of our
meticulous attention to detail and top-quality componentry is exceptional
sound, performance, and reliability.

The iEQ series represents a major step forward in the performance of EQs.
The iEQ series is now able to offer state-of-the-art digital EQ performance
and specs with an analog look and feel. From its amazing 10Hz to 22kHz
frequency response, to its 113dB dynamic range and Advanced Feedback
Suppression (AFS?), dbx proprietary Type V? noise reduction
and PeakStopPlus? limiting, the iEQ-15 offers out of this world specifications
with a downto- earth price point. Sure to find a home in the studio, on tour and
with installed sound venues, the iEQ-15 is destined to take its rightful place in
the lineage of great dbx? signal processors that are the professional?s choice
in signal processing. With such pristine design and quality, the iEQ-15 offers
the maximum sonic flexibility in a straight forward interface and rock-solid construction.

1215 Dual 15-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 1215 provides standard
features like dual channels, 15 2/3 octave bands, ISO frequency
centers, +/-12 dB input gain range, and switchable 40Hz/18 dB per
octave low-cut filters, but also includes other thoughtful 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 2U steel/aluminum chassis.
