Wharfedale Pro Q215 Rack Equalizer

Wharfedale Q215 Rack Equalizer

The Q-215 is a dual channel 15 band 2/3 octave graphic equalizer using constant Q filters to maintain even bandwidth irrespective of gain ensuring transparent adjustments even with extreme gain settings. The Q-215 fits into a convenient 1U 19" rackmount chassis and has inputs and outputs on XLR and 1/4" TRS balanced / unbalanced connectors. Ground lift switches can eliminate any earth loop or hum issues. Power is supplied via an IEC connector.

A switchable 40Hz HPF allows for removal of unwanted low end rumble that in turn increases overall system headroom.

Features

• Constant Q filters
• Switchable 6dB / 12dB fader range
• Switchable bypass with LED indicator
• Four LED output level meter plus input clip indicator
• Switchable 40Hz 12dB/oct HPF
• Input gain adjustable between -inf dB and +6dB.
• Built in soft limit helps prevent overloads that damage speakers.
• XLR/ 1/4” TRS balanced/unbalanced inputs/outputs.
• 20mm faders for precise adjustment in compact chassis.
• Ground lift switch quickly solves earth loop and external noise issues.
