OVERVIEW
All UNIKA graphic equalizers are high performance multi-functional units designed to deliver all the flexibility and power that professional users demand.
The NHQ-312 dual channel 31 band Graphic Equalizers is a useful audio signal processing tools in situations where precise frequency control is required across the audible frequency spectrum.
When used with an audio spectrum analyzer the EQs can tune any acoustical environment, from the studio to the concert hall to stop ringing, increase clarity, and flatten the overall frequency response of the environment.
Insert the graphic equalizer between the signal source and the power amplifiers. Adjust the level and equalization as required to yield the desired system response. The long throw faders of the EQs allow very precise settings of the equalization for accurate equalization curves.
DESCRIPTION
For optimum signal-to-noise response, the gain structure of the sound system must be properly set up. Each component of the sound system should be set at its nominal operating level in order to take advantage of the maximum signal-to-noise properties of that element. Loudspeaker amplifiers, as the last element in the chain, should be set only as loud as necessary, in order to avoid inducing unnecessary noise into the system.
All active equalizers, by nature of design, add noise when boosting or cutting that can easily degrade the otherwise acceptable signal-to-noise ratio of a sound system. Drastic equalization can result in a loss of 20dB or more signal-to-noise.
The Dynamic Noise-Reduction was engineered specifically for applications such as this. It provides up to 20dB of noise reduction, thus restoring the dynamic range necessary for even the most demanding professional sound systems. The combination of proper wiring, proper gain structure and The Dynamic Noise-Reduction should render your sound system virtually noise free.
