Ashly Audio GQX-1502 : 2 Channel 15 Band Graphic Equalizer

The Ashly Audio GQX-1502 is a 2 Channel 15-Band Graphic Equalizer that features a switchable high-pass filter (40Hz). The 45mm full-throw faders are a custom-manufactured metal-shaft type, with the center detented position utilized as an "on/off" switch for that filter which minimizes any possible degradation in signal noise levels.

Ashly Audio GQX-1502 Features:

• Constant "Q" Design with Low Ripple and Accurate Response Near the "Flat" Setting
• Precision Wein-bridge Filters for Accurate Response and Low Distortion
• Switchable 12dB/Octave 40Hz High Pass Filter
• High Quality 45mm Detented Metal-Shaft Faders
• Frequency Sliders Feature Center Detent “Off”

• Balanced XLR, 1/4", and Euroblock Inputs
• Servo-Balanced XLR, 1/4", and Euroblock Outputs
• 1% Tolerance Components for Precise Filter Accuracy
• Peak LED Indicators
• Worldwide Power Supply
• 5-Year Worry-Free Warranty

Ashly Audio GQX-1502 Applications:

• Monitor Systems
• FOH Sound Systems
• DJ Systems

• Installations Requiring Fixed EQ
• Recording / Broadcast Studios

The Ashly Audio GQX-1502 is designed to be significantly quiet without the need for noise reduction to be built into the equalizer circuit. Double-sided circuit boards and an extensive ground plane design are used in the filter sections to improve RFI and electrostatic immunity. Precision Wein-Bridge filters and carefully designed summing amplifiers combine to provide extremely accurate response, low noise, negligible distortion, and complete immunity to magnetic fields. All filters exhibit true constant "Q" response with no broadening near the "flat" setting. High slew-rate circuitry throughout the signal path results in clean, quiet, transparent sound. The faders used are a custom-manufactured metal-shaft type, with molded saddle knobs, for the ultimate in reliability and smooth "feel". Ashly's unique "T-Beam" front panel construction eliminates interconnections between the faders and the filters, resulting in a very rugged and rigid front panel.

Input and output connections of the Ashly Audio GQX-1502 include locking XLR, 1/4" TRS and Euroblock. Ashly's servo-balanced output circuitry maintains unity gain even if pins 2 or 3 are connected directly to ground. The power supply is a universal switching power supply which operates from 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz with the power switch located on the rear panel.
