1 rack space tall. 20mm faders.

DOD EQs are versatile, cost-effective equalization tools for musicians, studio engineers, and live performers. The units offer up to 12 dB of cut or boost per band with a switchable low cut filter for each channel. Electronic switching of these functions minimizes pops or clicks when the switch is depressed, and up to +/-12 dB of level control is available. This feature makes A/B comparisons of the EQ'd signal to the original signal quick and easy. Connection may be either balanced with an XLR connector or with an unbalanced 1/4 in. phone plug making the units readily interfaceable to any system. Dual channel units may be used as a stereo equalizer or as 2 independent equalizers. The units offer either 1/3rd octave or 2/3rds octave resolution, depending on the unit chosen. All DOD equalizers are solidly built with steel chassis and CSA standard circuit boards for years of reliable service.

When rack space is limited, but a stereo equalizer is essential the SR430 QXLR is the solution. The one rack space design combines 2 x 15 band, 2/3 octave equalizers together, each with constant Q filters, and independent low cut filters.

"Good EQ, but its noisy for the discriminating listener"

Sound
Good boost and cut flexibility, sound goes through reletively true to the input in tone and quality, but the NOISE is a little for pro audio! I was trying to figure out where the noise and hum was coming from on my sytem, and THIS WAS IT.
Features
Great features, great range, I like the overall gain. Low cut is barely noticable as it should be.
Quality
Again, the noise is too much for me. It's not really noticable unless you have a gained up amp, so it's ok for a cruder system, but for recording or discriminating listening, I wouldn't recommend.
Value
Price is right -- no doubt about it. Because my budget is tight, I'd still buy it knowing what I know as an owner.

Musical Style:

techno, 80's, etc.
