With an EQ heritage that has produced countless industry-standard patents and dates back more than 30 years, the dbx iEQ-31 easily lives up to the dbx legacy of uncompromised sonic integrity. In addition to unsurpassed equalization specs, the iEQ-31 also offers the built-in necessities which include AFS? feedback Suppression, Type V? noise reduction and PeakStopPlus limiting. Besides including two 31-band channels of 1/3-octave equalization, the iEQ-31 also offers +12 dB input gain range; switchable +6 or +15 dB boost/cut range, 40mm faders, XLR, 1/4'' and Euroblock inputs and outputs, nonconductive nylon sliders; and an intuitive user interface with comprehensive output and gain reduction metering. As always, the inevitable result of our meticulous attention to detail and top-quality componentry is exceptional sound, performance, and reliability.
The iEQ series represents a major step forward in the performance of graphic Equalizers. The iEQ series is now able to offer state-of-the-art digital EQ performance and specs with an analog look and feel. From its amazing 10Hz to 22kHz frequency response, to its 113dB dynamic range and Advanced Feedback Suppression (AFS?), dbx proprietary Type V? noise reduction and PeakStopPlus limiting, the iEQ-31 offers out of this world specifications with a down-to-earth price point. Sure to find a home in the studio, on tour and with installed sound venues, the iEQ-31 is destined to take its rightful place in the lineage of great dbx signal processors that are the professional's choice in signal processing. With such pristine design and quality, the iEQ-31 offers the maximum sonic flexibility in a straight forward interface and rock-solid construction.

Used Equalizers
Equalizers are used in sound recording to equalize the balance between an electronic signalâ??s frequency components, by boosting or cutting the energy of specified frequency bands. Audio equalization is most widely used in sound recording, although it has many other applications beside that of the recording studio.
There are a number of different types of Equalizers used in music recording. For example, a simple bass control (or low shelf), is able to adjust the gain of low frequency audio signals, without impacting on other frequencies. High self Equalizers (like a treble) on the other hand, are used to adjust high frequency audio signals only.
Parametric Equalizers offers a far greater range of audio equalization functions however. These types of Equalizers are able to make three specific adjustments, something that makes them incredibly versatile. They can be used first of all to adjust the center frequency, and then they can be used to adjust the Q Factor in order to determine how sharp the bandwidth is. Finally, they can also be used to adjust the gain control in order to determine how much a frequency is boosted or cut in relation to frequencies above or below the selected center frequency range.
A Graphic Dynamic Equalizer is similar to a Parametric Equalizer, except that these Equalizers are designed to be much more user-friendly. However, they are also less flexible than Parametric Equalizers. Graphic Equalizers employ a bank of filters to cover as many as 30 different frequency bands in the audio spectrum, depending on the model. The center frequency and Q Factor on Graphic Equalizers is fixed, but the level of these can be adjusted.
