Introduction 

The  GQ600  combines  innovative  features  with  impressive  specification,  to  produce  a  new 
level of performance in professional equalisation. 

The  GQ600  is  a  precision  dual  channel  1/3  octave  graphic  equaliser,  which  provides  up  to 
10dB  of  boost  or  cut  at  30  centre  frequencies  between  25Hz  and  20kHz.    Filter  design  has 
been  carefully  optimised  for  good  interpolation  and  improved  narrow  band  performance,  
whilst  high  quality long-throw 45mm sliders are used for better resolution.  The GQ600 also 
provides  excellent  noise  and  distortion  performance,  with  a  flat  noise  figure  of  better  than  
-98dBm. 

A  shelving  H.F.  Trim  section  is  provided,  with  adjustable  gain  and  frequency  allowing  fast 
adjustments  to  be  made  to  overall  high  frequency  response.    This  obviates  the  need  for 
system re-voicing when, for example, changes in humidity or audience size occur. 

A  sweepable  high-pass  filter  offers  turnover  frequencies  of  10Hz  to  150Hz  and  a  fixed 
frequency  low-pass  filter  is  also  provided  for  increased  H.F.  driver  protection.    This  filter  is 
selectable in or out of circuit via jumper links on the main circuit board. 

Audio inputs and outputs are provided on lockable XLR 's and 'quick-wire' Klippon connectors 
and  are  fully  electronically  balanced  as  standard.    Optional  transformer  balancing  is  also 
available for both inputs and outputs. 

Additional features include:  relay fail-safe bypass, peak level indicators and optional Perspex 
security cover. 

The  GQ600  is  sturdily  constructed  from  high  quality  components  and  undergoes  extensive 
testing  and  quality  control  procedures  including  a  minimum  48  hours  burn-in  period  prior  to 
despatch.

and low-pass filters.
