Operating Manual - GQX 3102, GQX 3101, and GQX 1502 Graphic Equalizer 1. INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of an Ashly GQX series graphic equalizer. The GQX series equalizers are a second generation design including many refinements on our original GQ models. Lower noise and distortion, greater accuracy, and additional output options are the result. We continue using “Q” enhanced Wein bridge filters and interleaved summing for constant “Q”, low ripple, and minimum filter interactio

DESIGN THEORY VAR While most graphic equalizers look very much the same, there are several important differences in the cir- Z cuitry used to implement various designs. C Perhaps the major differences are in the filters. Some equalizers use a filter made of a capacitor, an in- ductor, and a resistor, or “RLC” filter. The advantage L here is simplicity, but the real disadvantage is the induc- tor itself. An inductor is a c
