manual abstract
Compared to graphic equalizers that preset center frequencies and bandwidth, the Ashly PQ-Series provides control that can tune over a 5.5 octave range, with variable bandwidth from 3.3 to 1/20 octave. Some applications include: shaping the overall response of a sound system to improve response, feedback control, instrument tone control, speaker or room resonance problems, vocal and dialogue equalization, broadcast announcer voice enhancement, special effects, or any application where complete equalization control is necessary. At th6 heart of the Ashly PQ-Series is our unique bandpass filter circuit. Basically a "state variable" type, this filter is trimmed and optimized to provide excellent transient response and a wide range bandwidth adjustment. Each filter can be tuned over a 50:1 frequency range (about 5.5 octaves) and a 70:1 bandwidth range with no more than a 2dB amplitude error at center frequency. At its sharpest setting, the filter has a "Q" of about 35 and generates a response curve with 3dB points only 1/20 octave apart, making feedback control possible with no audible side effects. Tunable low and high frequency shelving filters are also provided to trim frequency extremes. Each filter is placed in the feedback loop of a summing amplifier to produce the desired frequency response. Since a separate summing amplifier is used for each band, no interaction between bands occurs. A hefty output stage is provided so that low impedance loads and long cable runs may be driven with optimal results. The single channel PQ-16 and the stereo PQ-26 (also usable as 12-band mono) Parametric Equalizers are covered by Ashly's exclusive five-year worry-free warranty. Tunable Low and High Frequency Shelving Filters Center Frequency Tunable over a 5.6 Octave Range PQ-16 Master and Individual Band In/Out Bypass Switching Specifications Architect’s Specification Ashly PQ-26 The unit shall be a dual channel parametric equalizer, capable of being center-frequency-tunable over a 5.5 octave range.
