Ashly EQs are well known as the go-to brand for analog processors for any concert application or commercial pro install. The GQX-3102 features 2-channels of 31-band 1/3-octave EQ, tunable hi-pass filter circuit, switch-selectable cut or boost of either 6dB or 15dB and 10-segment, 2-color LED meter displays, and clip LEDs. The full-throw 45mm faders have a metal-shaft with the center detented position utilized as an “on/off” switch for that filter to minimize noise levels when the filter is not in use.
Our graphic EQs utilize Wein-Bridge filters using precision components and our specially designed summing amplifiers provide extremely accurate response, low noise, negligible distortion, and excellent immunity to magnetic fields.
The GQX models are designed to be significantly quiet without the need for noise reduction to be built into the equalizer circuit. Double-sided circuit boards with ground plane design are used in the filter sections for improved RFI and electrostatic immunity. All filters exhibit true constant "Q" response with no broadening near the "flat" setting. High slew-rate circuitry throughout the signal path results in clean, quiet, transparent sound. The faders used are a custom-manufactured metal-shaft type, with molded saddle knobs, for the ultimate in reliability and smooth "feel". Ashly's unique "T-Beam" front panel construction eliminates interconnections between the faders and the filters, resulting in a very rugged and rigid front panel.
Input and output connections include barrier strip terminals and 1/4" TRS phone jacks, as well as standard locking XLR's. Circuit ground may be lifted from chassis ground via the barrier strip. Ashly's servo-balanced output circuitry maintains unity gain even if pins 2 or 3 are connected directly to ground.
