General Description

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 the term Perfect-QTM to describe the results

(U.S. & international patents filed). The DEQ 60 is the world's first

true graphic equalizer (i.e., one providing real mechanical front

panel slide controls) whose output response precisely matches its

front panel settings. Perfect-Q features virtually no band interaction

and extremely low ripple between adjacent bands. 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 60L Graphic Equalizer provides the most complete set of pure EQ

functions ever offered in an analog controlled equalizer.
