“10-band EQ Pro“ – this is an updated version “10-band EQ”. Details you can read here – LINK
So only the differences will be described below.
A completely different boot-loader is installed on the “10-band EQ Pro”, so updating the standard “10-band EQ” is not possible!
The device has:
- 10 Band Equalizer
- Compressor
- Limiter
- Echo – Delay
- Roger
- Noise Reduction
- SSB or CB soft
- Completely independent parameter sets for 4 various microphones type
Now calibration is carried out not at two points, but at 5 points. At the end of the calibration, the device does a check and indicates how much offset has been made.
More natural and smoother level and compression meters
The enabled blocks in the signal chain are highlighted in color in the block diagram (4)
Completely independent parameter sets for 4 various microphones type.
The following parameters can be configured independently:
- Gain
- Gate
- Comp
- Drive
- Monitor
- Echo
- Delay/Roger
- Norm-DX-Bypass
Echo delay time increased to 150 ms
Very impotent, in this version Noise Gate disable when the indicator is at the bottom (in the normal version it’s conversely)
You can immediately see which block is enabled
The picture shows the connectors and what can be connected to them
