The dual para eq is a compact, parametric 2-band-equalizer, which you can apply to a signal chain to lift
or lower certain frequencies. Parametric means not only lifting or lowering, but also adjusting separately
position and width of frequency bands.
So it does not only enable you to equalize frequency response errors (hence the name
equalizer) and to
suppress feedbacks or resonance peaks, but it may also be used as a flexible tone control for purposeful
sound manipulations.
According to its application in a signal chain, the input stage of the
dual para eq has been laid out unlike
an instrument preamp (e.g. for pickups or microphones) as pure level adjustment stage. With the phase
switch the phasing of the processed signal can be reversed if necessary. Finally the entire
dual para eq
device can be bypassed by pressing the bypass switch, allowing for a comfortable A/B comparison.
All pocket tools need energy for their high-grade circuits and are powered by 24V-power-supplies . An
appropriate supply is included in delivery.
Read on and have fun using your
dual para eq !
