The Avalon VT-737SP features a combination of TUBE preamplifiers, opto-compressor,sweep equalizer, output level and VU metering in a 2U space. PREAMPLIFIER The VT-737SP has three input selections: 1. The VT-737SP features a higher-performance microphone input transformer with +48v phantom selection. 2. Instrument DI high source input with jack located on front panel. 3. Balanced line input, discrete high-level Class A. The Class A preamplifier utilizes two cascaded, dual vacuum tube triodes configured with minimum negative feedback. A high gain switch boosts the overall gain of the preamplifier. The four high quality tubes are configured as singled ended anode coupled followers. A passive-variable high pass filter and hard-wire relay bypass completes the input signal conditioning. The phase reverse relay is available on all three inputs. OPTO-COMPRESSOR The opto-compressor features a minimum signal path design with twin Class A vacuum tube triodes for gain matching. The optical attenuator acts as a simple passive level controller. Full dynamic control from soft compression to hard- knee limiting can be achieved with threshold, ratio-compression, attack and release controls plus gain reduction selection on the large VU meter. Special spectral control including de-ess is available with the dual sweep mid EQ to side- chain switch. The EQ section can be flipped pre or post the opto-compressor via a front panel switch for alternate effects and tone shaping. Two VT-737SPs can be linked via a rear panel link cable for stereo tracking. The compressor bypass is a sealed silver relay for the most direct signal path. SWEEP-EQUALIZER AND OUTPUT LEVEL The VT-737SP equalizer utilizes 100% discrete, Class A-high-voltage transistors for optimum sonic performance. The high and low frequency bands provide the smooth characteristics of an all passive design, while the dual mid bands include variable frequency and switched Q-width selection. The enhanced range of the mid bands is extended into the high and low bands by the use of X10 frequency multipliers. The bypass switch incorporates a sealed silver relay for the most direct signal path. When the EQ to sidechain is engaged, the high-low EQ remains in the audio path for "tone enhancement“. The output level control provides a variable control of the overall signal path. The output amplifier utilizes another dual triode vacuum tube driving a 100% discrete, Class A, high-current, balanced and DC coupled low noise output amplifier. AVALON VT-737SP FEATURES Vacuum tube triode signal path, transformer balanced microphone input, high-voltage circuits for maximum headroom to +30dB, low noise -92dB, internal discrete power supply with toroidal transformer, soft-start tube life extender, stereo link for compressors, all discrete Class A equalizer with musical passive filter design, sealed silver relays for signal routing, large control knobs with professional conductive plastic potentiometers, VU meter for output level monitoring and compressor gain reduction.

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.

Innovation
The ARX AFTERBURNER? is a unique Multi Mode compressor/limiter designed for use in any professional audio dynamics control application. Multiple Modes The Afterburner can be set up and used in three different ways: In Two channel mode, it performs as two independent compressor/limiters, with 'industry standard' variable Threshold, Ratio and Output gain. In stereo mode, our New Adaptive Stereo Link circuitry provides increased stereo imaging accuracy when linking both channels as a stereo pair. A single front panel switch puts the Afterburner into its alternative Mono mode, setting it up as a Single channel, Dual Band compressor/limiter, with separate dynamics control of both Low and High frequencies, opening up a whole new range of gain control techniques. Enhance Switch In any mode, the Afterburner features an 'Enhance' switch, which provides frequency restoration to preserve the spectral balance of the audio signal, compensating for the sagging Low and High frequency response of compressed program material. Think of it as a 'smart' loudness control. Features Switchable Modes - Stereo; Dual Channel Single band; or Single Channel Dual Band (Low and High) Low and High frequency compression in Single Channel mode 'Enhance' switch restores spectral balance of compressed signal New Hard/Soft knee compression switch New Adaptive Stereo Link circuit for accurate stereo imaging New Above/Below Threshold LEDs enable at-a-glance compression confirmation Balanced XLR and Jack Inputs and Outputs Sidechain Insert points Intuitive user-friendly layout Flawless performance New Above/Below Threshold LEDs enable at-a-glance compression confirmation New Hard or Soft knee compression option New LED metering provides accurate Level status, with separate Gain Reduction metering in easy to read 'wide scale' meters. There is also comprehensive LED indication of all operating functions and status in any mode. Balanced Inputs and Outputs On the rear panel, each channel has true differential Balanced inputs and outputs, on both XLR and TRS jack connectors. As well, each channel has a TRS jack Sidechain access insert point, for applications such as De-essing (when used with an external equalizer such as the ARX Multi Q or EQ 260).Other features include a true Hardwire bypass switch for each channel, and passive RFI filters on the inputs. 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 change switch. With its smooth compression, intuitive user friendly layout, high density precision circuitry, and extensive user-variable operating parameters, the unique ARX Afterburner is equally at home in Studio, Installation, Broadcast and Sound Reinforcement environments.

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!!!
