EC-2
The ARX EQ260 is a Dual Channel 30 band Graphic Equalizer designed to give you
the flawless professional performance you demand, yet take up minimal rack space.
It is neatly housed in a compact 3 RU all steel chassis.
Quality you can feel as well as hear
Each channel on the silver grey front panel features 30 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 EQ260 completely from the signal
path.
Accurate Constant Q Circuitry
Internally, the EQ260 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 make to the sound, as compared to traditional EQ
designs.In other words, 'what you see is what you get.' Combine this circuitry with the 60
individual filters in the EQ260, 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 EQ260's low noise figures.
Balanced Inputs and Outputs
On the rear panel, the EQ260 has true differential Balanced Inputs and Servo Balanced Outputs,
on both XLR as well as convenient TRS 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.
At ARX, we know that there's no shortage of other Equalizers out there! But we believe the ARX EQ260
delivers superlative, uncompromising audio quality that will truly enhance any pro audio application. Its
accuracy, compact High Density design, cool good looks, and most of all its superb sound will make it
the dual channel graphic equalizer of choice for demanding engineers around the world.
You'll never compromise on Quality when you choose ARX

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.
- Switchable boost/cut ranges of ±6 or ±15 dB
- Electronically balanced/unbalanced inputs
- Servo balanced/unbalanced inputs
- RF filtered inputs and outputs
- XLR, Barrier Strip, and 1/4" TRS connectors
- -12dB/+12dB input gain range
- 18dB/octave 40Hz Bessel low-cut filter

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).
Features - Constant-Q Bandwidth Design
- Overall Level Controls and Passive Bypass Switches
- 20 mm Filter Slide Controls with ±6 dB or ±12 dB Slider Range
- Infrasonic, Ultrasonic, & RFI Filters
- Balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS Inputs and Outputs
- Universal internal switching power supply (100-240 VAC)

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!
