Ashly GQX3102 Equalizer

• The Ashly GQX3102 has precision Wein-bridge filters for accurate response and low distortion
• Constant "Q" design for low ripple and minimum interaction
• High quality detented metal shaft faders

Ashly's new GQX models are significantly quieter than their predecessors. Double-sided circuit boards with ground plane design are used in the filter sections for improved RFI and electrostatic immunity. Precision Wein-Bridge filters and newly designed summing amplifiers combine to provide extremely accurate response, low noise, negligible distortion, and complete immunity to magnetic fields. The faders used are a custom-manufactured metal-shaft type, with molded saddle knobs, for the ultimate in reliability and smooth "feel". New transformer and power supply layouts result in lower hum noise and even greater line voltage range.

The GQX-Series is available in three different configurations: the GQX-1502 features two channels of fifteen-band 2/3 octave equalization and a switchable high-pass filter. The GQX-3101 is a single-channel thirty-one band model, while the GQX-3102 features two channels of 1/3 octave EQ. Both the third-octave models offer tunable high-pass filter circuits and 10-segment, two color LED meter displays, referencing 0 VU to +4dBu.
