Great EQ!

Does your vocalist sound like she's had some nasal cavity work done recently? Does your stage piano sound like it's being played from the bottom of a swamp? Does your guitar microphone shriek and scream more than. . .well, your guitar? Everyone knows that a graphic equalizer's main function is to shape sound without adding unwanted distortion or noise. But it's also a sad fact that sometimes this really important piece of gear, designed to make you sound better, can actually become a big headache of its own. These three EQs from Yamaha do what EQs are supposed to do - clean up your sound and stay out of your way. The GQ1031C is a mono EQ with 31 equalization bands at 1/3 octave intervals from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. It does a amazing job of removing all the extra little sonic litter that can creep into your sound during live performance. Naturally, the GQ1031 comes with the EQ staple features of high-pass filter, balanced I/O, Peak indicators, and Bypass button. For a incredible graphic EQ, they don't get much better than the GQ2015A, a stereo EQ that's brain-dead really simple, easy-to-use, and packed with power. Since it's stereo, you can use it to control your entire mix or separately treat two individual sources. Imagine, 2-channel stereo versatility, all in a slim 1U-size. The GQ2015A offers equalization bands per channel at 2/3 octave intervals from 25 Hz to 16kHz. All the EQ essentials are there, including high-pass filter, balanced I/O, and bypass switch. The Q2031B is a dual channel, 4-band graphic equalizer that offers a smooth, clean sound without any hassles. Providing quiet operation with less than .05% total harmonic distortion and noise levels better than -96dB, you can be sure your signal is pure. The Q2031 offers 31 EQ bands per channel t 1/3 octave intervals from 20 Hz to 20Khz, high-pass filter, balanced I/O, sensitive peak indicators, and bypass button.
