Each band offers four selectable centre frequencies and up to 12 dB of boost or cut in 2 dB steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEQ that costs you no signal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA conventional passive equalizer attenuates everything and needs a make-up stage that brings its own noise and phase shift. Here the EQ works inside the STX 100 feedback loop, so insertion loss is zero and added distortion or phase shift is effectively absent. The tone shaping happens ahead of the converter rather than inside the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSettings you can repeat next session\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFixed 2 dB steps and a fixed set of frequencies mean a setting written on a track sheet comes back exactly a week later. High band centres are 2.5 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz and 15 kHz; low band centres are 50 Hz, 100 Hz, 200 Hz and 300 Hz. Each band has its own bypass, so an A\/B against the unprocessed signal takes a second. The module needs a direct connection to an STX 100 and does not run on its own, as it carries no VPR edge connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-band passive equalizer designed to pair with the STX 100 preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero insertion loss thanks to operation inside the feedback loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour selectable centre frequencies per band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 12 dB of boost and cut in 2 dB increments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent bypass for each band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt at the Spectra 1964 facility in Ogden, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: two-band passive equalizer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh frequency centres: 2.5 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz, 15 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow frequency centres: 50 Hz, 100 Hz, 200 Hz, 300 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRange: up to 12 dB boost and cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep size: 2 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBypass: independent per band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsertion loss: zero when combined with the STX 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequirements: direct connection to an STX 100 preamp, no own VPR edge connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponents: over 95% sourced in the USA and Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Spectra 1964","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54556577431889,"sku":"60781","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/Spectra1964STX5001.jpg?v=1786971184","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/spectra-1964-stx-500","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
