Sabine GRQ3122-K Dual channel Graphi-Q £1,169.99
Description
The GRQ2 combines eight indispensable audio products into one very affordable, all-digital package — with an easy-to-use hands-on interface! With the touch of a fader you can shape your frequency response using the GRQ2's 31-band digital graphic EQ. Need more control? Use the parametric EQ to control your filter width, depth and frequency. Time align your speakers with the digital delay. Manage your system gain with the GRQ2 digital compressor/limiter. Finally, add 3 to 9 dB extra gain and automatic feedback control with Sabine's patented FBX technology.
Four models for every application. Pick the GRQ2 that works for your setup. Choose instant hands-on, front panel control or the blank front panel versions for the ultimate in system security and economy. RS-232 remote computer control, 20 onboard program memories, and remote switching via contact closures are standard in all GRQs (blank or active front panel). No other professional audio device gives you this level of control, this superb audio quality, at this low price.
No Limits on DSP Power. You will never run out of DSP power because all GRQ2 functions run concurrently. Set as many filters as you need, and add as much gain management and delay as the job requires. There are no meters showing DSP usage, because you will never run out of power.
How do we do it? Our 24-bit A/D and D/A give the cleanest audio possible, and Analog Devices' new 32-bit floating-point SHARC digital processor powers every GRQ2, allowing simultaneous use of these eight essential functions:
GRQ2 Remote Control software includes a BYPASS and ACTIVE matrix to manage the status of every GRQ2 function. Make fine adjustments to other GRQ2 functions, including graphic EQ filter widths, from ½ octave to one full octave, and adjust attack release, and knee on the compressor. We'll even show you a line graph of your gain structure, graphically displaying every parameter.
The single-channel GRQ2s have two outputs for maximum system flexibility. GRQ2 Remote allows you to independently choose which functions are active in each of the two outputs. For example, you can use one channel of a delayed speaker, and choose which other processing you want on that delayed channel: FBX, compressor/limiter, or equalizers. You can have independent delay or level settings on each output, or dedicate the outputs to the new 1x2 crossover.
