When the term "graphic equalizer" was first coined the intent was to provide a device that allowed the user to "draw" the desired frequency response using slider controls on the unit's front panel. Thus the Holy Grail of graphic equalizers is a device with a response that truly matches the slider settings.
For years, this seemingly unobtainable goal resulted in products based on the fine art of compromise - until now - until the DEQ 60.
It's not Constant - not Proportional - It's Perfect! Digital Signal Processing (DSP) allows filter technology not possible with analog designs. Rane coined (and registered as a trademark) the term Perfect-QTM to describe the results (U.S. & international patents filed). The DEQ 60 is the first graphic equalizer to use this revolutionary technology. Perfect-Q features virtually no band interaction and extremely low ripple between adjacent bands. The result: the world's first graphic equalizer whose output response precisely matches slider settings. And, just to keep things interesting and flexible, fear not proportional-Q lovers, for each channel of the DEQ 60 is selectable between Perfect-Q or proportional-Q response.
The DEQ 60 Graphic Equalizer provides the most complete set of pure EQ functions ever offered in an analog controlled equalizer.
• Perfect-QTM : What You See Is What You Get • No EQ filter interaction • Proportional-Q: Classic smooth response • Independent Accelerated-SlopeTM 3-band full-cut tone controls • Low-cut and High-cut filters • Input and Output Level controls • Eight segment metering for each Input and Output • Two Boost / Cut ranges: ±6 dB or ±12 dB • Each channel may use A or B channel controls • Stereo Linking • Two "analog memories" • A-curve / B-curve comparison • 25 mm sliders with soft-touch knobs • Analog controlled DSP • XLR, 1/4" TRS and Euroblock connectors • Bypass switch (DSP), Bypass relay (power failure) • Exceptional RF and magnetic immunity • Universal internal switching power supply
