Equalizer

[nm2285]

I'm trying to decide on an EQ. I like the flexibility of lots of bands (12 or more). These are the few I'm considering:

2 of these - http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=live/search/detail/base_pid/180640/

Or maybe:

The last one would be very nice since I could have different presets (for headphones and speakers) without having to continuously change them. However, I can't find any stats on SN ratio or channel separation...any of that stuff. Any opinions on how it would perform and/or recommendations on the others?

Thanks

If you want real performance (in a constant Q EQ) is would suggest this:

Yes, it's more expensive, but Rane makes the best EQs out there.

Or you could look into their Parametric EQs:

Most of what you need to balance out is in the lower frequency regions. I can't see a $59 EQ being worth a darn, but I will admit I have no experience with the units you are looking at. If you do go with one of the low-end models, let us know how it sounds.

EQ? How about this product from Rane? It should solve all of your problems:

Don't forget to check out the data sheet


On a serious note, you should consider a parametric EQ from Rane or Behringer. Much more flexibility.
