The DEQ230 from Alesis is a digital, two-channel graphic EQ with analog-style controls. The EQ offers 30 bands of equalization, linkable or independent, with 12dB of cut or boost. The unit operates at Constant Q, a process in which the range of frequencies affected by a single band stays the same regardless of the amount of cut or boost.
Audio quality is preserved using 24-bit analog to digital and digital to analog conversion at a 48kHz sampling rate. Internal processing is carried out using 28-bit word lengths and the DEQ230 features balanced input/impedance-balanced output on 1/4" TRS connectors, operating at -10dBV.

Comments about Alesis DEQ230 - Dual 30-Band 1/3 Octave Digital EQ:
Great dual band equalizer. In an effort to make it compact, they made the buttons and numbers a little on the small side. Makes quick adjustments a little inconvenient. Otherwise it's a five star definite buy.
