Weiss EQ1- MKII

Adding to the high resolution 24bit / 96kHz processing, the EQ1-MK2 now features a widely extended parameter set. The Q reaches from a near whole-bandwidthcovering 0.2 to a needle-like 650 in 128 steps, allowing everything fromsubtle sound colouring to notch filter tone removal. The boost varies in 0.1 dB steps from-39dB (for notching) to +18dB. To compensate for the extremely accurate notch filter type, the frequency resolution has been doubled, now running from14Hz to 21kHz in 12th octave steps plus including special notch frequencies such as 50 and 60 Hz and their harmonics.

As of software version 4.1, a “shape” parameter is applicable to shelving filters, which has a similar effect like Q for peaking filters. Also included is a completely new mode of operation where equalization is done in the M/S domain.

This wealth of innovative features and its unique sound put the EQ1-MK2 at the very top of equalizer tools, confering ultimate control over spectral content of the progamme to the sound engineer.

Audio Processing

Seven bands per channel, each band switchable to either peaking, shelving or cut filter, or bypass.
24bit single-wire hi-speed AES/EBU interfaces for signals up to 96kHz sampling rate
Internal processing at 96kHz, 40bit floating-point. Output 24bit, can be dithered to 16 or 20bit.
Audio optimized filter architecture

Display

Double logarithmic graph of the magnitude function of the equalizer calculated in real time
Status display showing sampling frequency, channel status data handling, current workspace and snapshot number and a resetable peak-hold and over-hold per channel
Band display (activated by touch) showing boost, Q/ slope and frequency settings for each band
Two over-LED's with settable number of consecutive over-samples which cause an ""over"" display combined with an over-hold function

Snapshots

3 x 128 non-volatile snapshots where all parameters are stored
A-B workspaces for quick comparison between two settings

Remote Control

Supports MIDI, RS-232 and RS-422 protocols
Standard MIDI Continuous Controllers for parameter remote control (including overall gain)
Snapshot automatization with MIDI Program Change Commands
MIDI Dump of Snapshots
