Alesis M-EQ 230

[1audiohack]

I have two, one in my bedroom system and one on the shelf. There's definitely better, and definitely worse units. Working properly they are dead quiet and certainly worth more than what you paid for that one. The power supply costs that much.

Have fun!

I plan to! Your comments are helpful. I started playing around with it yesterday and it seems to work well.

These Components all sounded clean
but together they were like cats/dogs

I stacked two together ..the second for the 10th oct on some A7's
quiet ..they are...and phase in perfect.....

Yep, I too use one. No issues of note. Used to modify the bass response, though, so I don't use any bands above 150 Hz.

I did the same thing
If your using bass to Midas-ize harsh freqs...
try using the whole 30 1/3 oct trimmers method
you'll need a Radio Shack db meter
And a test cd (2011 delwoman's treasures www.ebay.com)
(it's got all the EQ freqs)

I use one with my Altec Model 19's. I bought it brand new in the 90's and it's been extremely reliable--never had any problems with it. It's a great sounding EQ IMHO. Very clean and quiet and the 1/3 octave setup is great for fine tuning your sound. I use it mainly for a subtle bass enhancement....

I looked at the EQ manual ....at the clip indicator light function (+18db) I'm not getting that...on either EQ
Is that a good sign...

While that's a good thing, keep in mind that most amps will clip well before reaching an 18dBV input level, unless they have (and you are using) input attenuators.

I am very much interested in ckg distortion levels @ 10 oct
but I don't have the equipment for it

think this Tone Generator software would help??

That would give you a test signal, you would still need a way to view the output (and a test system that has more voltage headroom than what you want to see, as well as more bandwidth than 20-20KHz if you're viewing spectrum (to see harmonics), a pc based (or real) oscilloscope would be another good tool.
A few years in an EE program wouldn't hurt either

I got a sound card w/digital input flexijack (for pc base)
I think I'd need a d/a converter for that though .......right?
