TOA Electronics E-232 Dual Channel 2/3 Octave Graphic Equalizer, 14-Band Per Channel

How can you achieve precise audio control in your professional sound setup The TOA Electronics E-232 Dual Channel 2/3 Octave Graphic Equalizer is the solution for sound engineers and audio professionals seeking refined audio equalization. This 14-band per channel equalizer is meticulously designed for permanent installations, offering unparalleled sound shaping capabilities.

Each of the 14 bands is centered at ISO 2/3-octave increments, ranging from the deep lows of 40Hz to the crisp highs of 16kHz, ensuring comprehensive coverage across the audible spectrum. With the flexibility to provide either 6dB or 12dB of boost or cut, the E-232 allows for subtle nuances or dramatic alterations in your audio output, tailored to your specific needs.

The E-232 boasts active bandpass/bandreject filters engineered for minimal phase shift, delivering a pure sound that remains true to the original source. The slide controls are designed for noiseless operation, with a precision-calibrated linear scale and center detents that facilitate easy and precise adjustments.

One of the standout features of the E-232 is the independent setting of boost and cut ranges for each channel. This unique capability enables custom configurations, such as setting one channel to a 6dB boost and a 12dB cut, while the other channel can be adjusted to a 12dB boost and a 6dB cut. This level of control is ideal for achieving the perfect balance in stereo program systems or when dealing with asymmetrical room acoustics.

The unit's one-rack size belies its detailed control capabilities, with the 6dB positions allowing for adjustments to fractions of a dB. The continuously variable highpass filter, with a 12dB per octave slope, can be adjusted from 15Hz to 300Hz, offering additional flexibility in managing low-frequency sounds.

An EQ In/Out switch, along with an automatic EQ bypass in the event of an AC power loss, ensures a complete signal bypass for uninterrupted audio performance. The output muting circuit eliminates turn-on/turn-off transients, protecting your system and maintaining audio integrity.

The input level control, with a +/-12dB range, accommodates a wide array of input levels and sources. An LED indicator provides real-time monitoring of input and output levels, alerting you when levels approach within 3dB of clipping.

Connectivity is versatile, with unbalanced terminal strip connectors and 1/4" phone jacks. For those requiring the highest fidelity, optional high-quality, low-distortion input and output transformers are available, extending the frequency response from 30Hz to 20kHz (+/-0.15dB) without the need for soldering.

Security is also considered, with a security cover included to prevent unauthorized adjustments or tampering. The sleek design of the E-232 ensures it occupies only one standard EIA rack space, making it a compact yet powerful addition to any professional audio setup.
