dbx iEQ-31 - Dual Channel, 31-Band EQ/Limiter with Type V Noise Reduction and Advanced Feedback Suppression

Comments about dbx iE-Q31 EQ/Limiter:

When the iEQ-31 showed up we unpacked and installed it immediately into the rack replacing an aging DN360. While being installed in a small room of about 3000 sq ft. the space is used for everything from artist/label showcases to corporate events with the level of clientele coming from both ends of the spectrum corporate novice to pro audio engineer. Within minutes the iEQ-31 was mounted and dialed in as the quick responsiveness of the sliders made it easy to find the optimum level for each frequency band. After setting the limiter we went immediately into rehearsals for a showcase for an artist being backed by the band for one of country's top artist. Their sound man asked about the possibility of a couple of tweaks and they happened quick and with ease. During rehearsal and the following performance the band got a little boisterous and the limiter had to take a little of the top a few times and being the only compression or limiting before the speaker processor it worked perfect with no distortion or clipping of the signal being evident. The next day we went into a 3 day conference with nine handheld and two lapel wireless microphones in a pass-around session. While usually fairly stable the sound system became a little squeally with eleven mics running all over the room without a healthy set of lungs pushing any of the them it was a sea of gain with choppy waters to say the least. I punched in the AFS button and it was like incredible after about ninety seconds there was not a bit of feedback and all the mics could be heard clearly with no perceptible shift in the system eq and it stayed that way for the whole event. Needless to say I am very pleased with the way this unit works this is the first iEQ-31 I have recommended and installed and I am sure it will not be the last
