PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Equinox is an audiophile quality 3 band parametric equalizer preamp with low noise components and circuit design making it ideal for studio and live use. The frequency sweep control, bandwidth control, and boost/cut control allows musicians to correct or enhance very specific tonal problem areas. Dual notch filters can be used to control or eliminate acoustic feedback.
Equinox is the ideal solution for musicians who require precise control of their EQ in any environment.
Features
3 Band Parametric Equalizer Preamp -- Allows precise EQ control to correct or enhance very specific tonal problem areas with frequency sweep control, bandwidth control, and boost/cut control
Two independent notch filters -- Eliminate acoustic feedback
20 dB gain switch -- Provides instant gain
True bypass switching of non-activated functions -- Bypass switch removes entire EQ and notch filter sections from signal chain leaving only high impedance, low noise input and buffered output
High quality components -- Extremely low noise and distortion, audiophile quality sound
1/4 in. stereo input jack -- Allows connecting input and output to Solstice on a single, stereo cable
Compact, portable design -- Can be used as a stand-alone preamp for
ultra portable instrument amplification systems
