LINE CORD-120V PRODUCTS ONLY (10)

We have incorporated a 2-wire line (mains) cable for power on the Q231 FX.

Power requirements:

Domestic: 120 V AC / 60 Hz / 20 W.

Export: 230 V AC / 50/60 Hz / 20 W.

NOTE: CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

NOTE: FOR UK ONLY

As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: (1) The wire which is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal which is marked by the letter E or by the earth symbol or colored green or green and yellow. (2) The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or the color black. (3) The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or color red.

XLR OUTPUTS (11)

This XLR jack provides an electronically balanced output that is electrically the same as the 1/4" TRS Output (11). Using this balanced output will provide a 6 dB increase from unbalanced operation.

1/4" OUTPUTS (12)

Two 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve (stereo) jacks (one per channel) provide balanced outputs when used with stereo (TRS) 1/4" plugs and 2-conductor shielded cables. When used with a mono 1/4" phone plug, the outputs are unbalanced. The Tip is in phase ( + ) and the Ring is out of phase ( - ). Using this as a balanced output will provide a 6 dB increase from unbalanced operation.

XLR INPUTS (13)

This XLR jack provides a balanced input that is electrically the same as the 1/4" TRS Input (13).

1/4" INPUTS (14)

Two 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve (stereo) jacks (one per channel) provide balanced inputs when used with stereo (TRS) 1/4" plugs and 2-conductor shielded cables. When used with a mono 1/4" phone plug, the inputs are unbalanced. The Tip is in phase ( + ) and the Ring is out of phase ( - ).

Q 231F Dual specifications

The Peavey Q 231F Dual is a sophisticated dual 31-band graphic equalizer designed to provide unmatched audio performance and versatility, catering to live sound engineers, musicians, and audio enthusiasts alike. This high-quality equalizer delivers precise control over audio frequencies, allowing users to shape their sound environments with unparalleled accuracy.

One of the standout features of the Q 231F Dual is its dual-channel design, which enables simultaneous control of two audio paths. Each channel offers a full 31 bands of equalization, covering a frequency range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. This extensive bandwidth allows users to target specific frequencies that may cause feedback or muddiness in a mix, ensuring that the overall sound remains clear and balanced.

The Q 231F is equipped with a unique Constant-Q filter design. This technology not only preserves the bandwidth of adjacent frequency bands when making adjustments but also ensures that boosts and cuts have a more natural sound. As a result, engineers can make precise corrections without introducing unwanted resonances or artifacts, leading to a more professional audio output.

Another significant characteristic of the Q 231F Dual is its built-in 12 dB/octave high-pass filter on both input channels. This feature helps eliminate low-frequency rumble, allowing for cleaner mixes and clearer vocal performances, which is particularly beneficial in live sound settings. Additionally, the equalizer includes a switchable bypass setting, allowing users to easily compare their processed sound against the original audio signal.

The Q 231F also boasts a reliable LCD display, providing visual feedback for the adjustment of gain settings and equalization levels. The illuminated sliders offer excellent visibility, even in low-light conditions, a crucial feature for performers and sound engineers working in dynamic environments.

Furthermore, Peavey has designed the Q 231F with rugged construction and intuitive layout, ensuring it withstands the rigors of live performance while remaining user-friendly. The unit is housed in a sturdy 1U rack-mountable chassis, making it easy to integrate into any existing audio setup.

In conclusion, the Peavey Q 231F Dual excels in providing extensive equalization control, advanced filtering technologies, and user-friendly features, establishing itself as a top choice for audio professionals aiming to achieve exceptional sound quality in any live or studio application. Its robust design and high-performance capabilities make it an essential tool for those seeking to elevate their audio experience.
