The EQU215-MKII V2 Graphic Stereo15-Band Equalizer is an extremely musical and 

flexible Graphic Equalizer, based on many years of experience and designed to provide a 

permanent precise equalization to musician, performer, and studio engineer. It can be used 

wherever is requested to modify the frequency “contour” of a sound and can offer a solution 

to many common sound problems and allows the user to use the creativity to obtain nice 

results in terms of sound characterization.   

The EQU215-MKII V2 Graphic Equalizer Features: 

Constant Q circuitry with a 3% center frequency accuracy 

Control range +/-6dB/+/-12dB selectable 

Active balanced and unbalanced input and output connectors 

Variable input level control 

Signal clop pilot 

Ground “LIFT” switch to disconnect signal ground from chassis ground 

Power off automatic bypass function 

Line voltage selectable robust and compact design 

Mountable in a 19’’ rack unit (1U) 

Manufactured under QS9000, VDA6.1 certified management system
