Features New (Extended Resolution) long-throw faders for maximum control and resolution, with integrated protective dust cover New Sweepable High Pass filter 20-200Hz Ultra low noise and accurate 'Constant Q' circuitry Balanced Inputs and Outputs on XLR and Jack connectors Switchable 6dB or 15dB cut and boost Audio Ground lift switch on rear Intuitive controls User friendly layout ...and most of all, flawless performance in any audio environment Sometimes a 10 band Graphic Equalizer isn't enough, but a 30 band EQ is overkill. Well, for times like these, we've designed the ARX EQ215. It's a dual channel 15 band Graphic Equalizer built to the same exacting standards as our EQ260, but designed especially for applications where the program material is predominantly pre-recorded and pre-processed. Typical applications are, for example, in DJ systems, Karaoke bars, home theatre, project and budget studio control rooms, and home stereo systems Delivering flawless professional performance, it takes up minimal rack space being neatly housed in a compact 2 RU all steel chassis. Quality you can feel as well as hear On the EQ215 's front panel, each channel has 15 of our new Extended Resolution long throw, centre grounding faders, switchable to either ±15dB or ±6dB, for the ideal combination of high fader resolution and maximum cut and boost. A protective dust cover is also fitted to each fader. As well, there is a Gain recovery control with up to +10 dB of gain; a Clip LED to indicate circuit overload, a sweepable 20-200Hz High Pass filter, and an IN/OUT hardwire bypass switch which removes the EQ215 completely from the signal path. Accurate Constant Q Circuitry Internally, the EQ215 features innovative Constant Q circuitry. What makes this so good? Well, it means that the graphical representation of the sliders on the front panel more accurately reflects the changes you are making to the sound, as compared to the very rough approximation you get with many traditional graphic EQ designs. In other words, 'what you see is what you get.' Combine this with the EQ215 's ultra low noise circuitry, and you have an equalizer that is unsurpassed for total accuracy.Additionally, at the 0dB slider position each filter is, in effect, removed from the circuit to further enhance the EQ215 's low noise figures. Balanced Inputs and Outputs On the rear panel, each channel of the EQ215 has true differential Balanced Inputs and Servo Balanced Outputs, with both XLR as well as convenient TRS balanced jack connectors. There is also an audio ground lift switch to isolate the audio ground from the chassis ground. Universal AC Power AC power range is a universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V AC, and is connected to the unit via a removable power lead and standard 3 pin IEC connector, with built-in fuse and voltage switch. When you need superlative, uncompromising audio quality but can't justify the use of a dual 30 band EQ such as the EQ260, we belive the EQ215 is the only graphic equalizer to choose. With its compact High Density design, clean good looks and precision electronics, the ARX EQ215 will truly enhance any pro audio application. You'll never compromise on Quality when you choose ARX

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.

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!

DBX 2215 Dual 15-Band Graphic Equalizer with Noise Reduction
It's amazing. One little button. So much effect. dbx? Type III? Noise Reduction is an entirely new concept... virtually instantaneous encode/decode within the circuitry of the box. We started out to build the finest EQs possible, boxes with the heritage and performance to rival our famous 30 Series EQs. And to no one's surprise they came out awfully darn good. (Ask to see the Audio Precision plots compared to the competition.) But then, Roger (our chief engineer, a nice guy, as far as engineers go) got the crazy idea of putting this new noise reduction stuff in the box. We listened to it and were amazed. The EQs sounded great without it but with it the performance was nothing short of incredible. Check it out yourself and see.
But hey, Roger wasn't about to stop there. PeakPlus? Limiter. Who knows more about limiting than the folks at dbx; nobody... that's who. So when the guys were developing this new series of EQs they wanted something that would be unique to these EQs. That's when Roger got another one of his bright ideas and said "I bet they'll work a lot better if there's a cool limiter built in." Next thing you know, all the guys are in the studio amazed at the new limiter Roger had designed specially for the 20 Series. Once again, hearing is believing... With a threshold range of 0dbu to plus 20dbu, the patent-pending PeakPlus limiter is designed to tame your program material from the subtlest nuances to the rowdiest hits. Also, the four stage LED ladder gives you a great visual indication as to what the limiter is doing.
20 Series EQs. You used to have to settle for second best in a reasonably priced EQ but not any more. With the new 20 Series from dbx Professional Products you get a great EQ circuit, a graceful yet powerful limiter and the revolutionary new design of the Type III Noise Reduction. Check out the dbx 20 Series graphic EQs at your pro audio outfitter. You'll see, with the 20 Series EQs you get MORE!!!
