RPQ160 Parametric Equalizer

The RPQ160 is a four-band parametric equalizer for the professional audio installation and music market. The unit is housed in a steel painted 1U rack space chassis, has an internal power supply, and is designed to withstand the rigors of road use.

Each frequency band has a variable Frequency select control which adjusts the frequency center, a Width (Q) control which varies the shape of the equalization curve, and a +/- 15 dB Level control. Additional frequency control has been provided with variable High and Low pass shelving filters. An overall Level control, a Bypass switch, and a Power LED round out the front panel.

Since equalization is used on virtually every type of audio signal and in many various applica- tions, the RPQ160 has RCA, 1/4" and XLR inputs and outputs provided on the rear panel.

A parametric equalizer, unlike conventional graphic equalizers, provides for the precise con- trol over the frequency selection, band width and levels. The RPQ160 is a powerful tool when

used for room equalization, sound reinforcement, or home or studio recording applications.

FEATURES:

• Four bands of parametric equalization

•+/- 15 dB of Boost/Cut for each frequency

•RCA, 1/4" and XLR inputs and outputs

• Adjustable high and low shelving filters

• "T" Filters, which avoid the complexity and distortion of state-variable filters

Frequency (Hz)

The two shelving filters are designed to tai- lor the frequency response of the signal; the Low Shelf cuts the frequencies 3 dB at the control's indicated setting and rolls off be- low, and the High Shelf cuts the frequencies 3dB at the indicated setting and rolls off above.

The Low Shelf Sweep Diagram shows the re- sponse curve of the Low Shelf filter at its minimum and maximum setting.

The High Shelf Sweep Diagram shows the response curve of the High Shelf filter at its minimum and maximum setting.

Shown to the left is a typical symmetrical response curve of a swept parametric band filter with the Frequency control set at 1 kHz, the Level set at +15 and -15 dB, and the Oc- tave control set at .3, .5, 1, and 3. These curves remain consistent over the frequency spectrum, they simply shift to whatever fre- quency setting is indicated by the Frequency control.
