hooking a two channel equlizer up

[redd454]

hi , i have a pretty good 15 band 2-channel ibanez equlizer, can i hook this to my v2095 receiver? it has 1/4 in's out's for each channel, not ness. i have it, but i would like the volume control from channel left to right, currently i a'm running a yamaha eq-500, works great, but my left side is just a little duller, figured maybe the ibanez might tweek it, but not sure on hook up to receiver, pa systems yes,receiver?

Not possible to use that like they were designed with a modern receiver. You could use it on one analog input only.

Moderns AV receivers use their internal audio processing in combination with the microphone provided to do their best to level out your speakers for a flat response. For the most part, if they do their job right, which most do, they will do this well. Just use the included microphone and the receiver will flatten the audio for accurate audio. From there, there are additional internal audio adjustments which are provided to you which can change the sound of the audio as you desire.

An external equalizer looks cool, but doesn't really have much use with the digital tech built into modern receivers.

Ibanez 15-band EQ – wow, those are rare. I used to have one back in the ’80s.

No one really understands your unorthodox set-up, but if you have a Yamaha EQ-550 in use, you can just connect the Ibanez in front of it, or after it, in your signal chain. You’ll need cables with RCA’s on one end and 1/4" plugs on the other.

this is true, all my equipment, is on analog, i find the equlizer a great sound shaper, does anyone know where i can get an old school equlizer, with left and right gain controls, rca patch cords in/out from receiver coupler, as all regular equlizer's are hooked, i used to have one many year's ago, wich was a standard equlizer, yet it had gain control's for right and left side

All the major manufacturers made equalizers back in the ‘80s – Pioneer, Onkyo, Sansui, Yamaha, SAE, etc. You can find them on ebay.

thank's i have many eq's, and have looked on ebay, all i see with right and left gain controls are dual channel, with 1/4, hook up's, can't figure how they could hook to my v2095, by way, of main in/out coupler, rca stereo patch cords, since really the set up is for a standard eq, wich i have, just looking for left and right gain controls, on a 10 or 15 band equlizer, also would be great if went down to 20hz or 25hz, if you run across something let me know, while i continue to search,or if you know of a way to hook th dual channel eq., up to my receiver thanks

Your problem is that the receiver has no tape loop like much older units.

I don't understand why you want individual gain controls when the receiver has a balance control. That seems redundant.

If you really want to use this equalizer, then one way would be to purchases a switcher, like the old Radio Shack Tape Control centers. That would give you three inputs that you could use the EQ with. You would then plug the output of the switcher to one analog line input on the receiver.

If you don't want that, then you would have to modify the receiver and identify the connections between left and right pre amp out and the power amp inputs of the left and right power amps. Then you would need to interrupt it and install 4 RCA sockets on your receiver and install jumpers. Then to use the EQ remove the jumpers and connect the preout to the Equalizer input and the output to the power amp in.

If you must have gain controls then you could build a passive volume units for left and right channels to go in the power amp input line.

You have no other options.

ok, thanks, however many years ago, i had an eq. that did have left and right gain controls, it was not a dual channel eq. it meerly hooked up as standard eq, just had left and right seperate controles, even thoudh eq. was not a two channel, thanks

that is how my single eq-500 is allready hooked up

also, the reason i want this gain, is simply because i do
