The equalizer is built keeping in mind the varied equipment that modern engineers deal with. E27 can handle several types of sources including balanced/unbalanced, high/low impedance loads, and even unbalanced loads. E27 is characterized by excellent quality and best parts are used in its making. Thus, users will find gold-plated switches, high performance capacitors, high-quality transformers and custom aluminum knobs on the Equalizer.

Some of the features include:

Standard 500 series modular size 1.5" x 5.25"

3-bands with 9 selectable frequencies per band

±16 dB of boost and cut using continuous variable potentiometer

Push button shelving option for low and high frequencies

All discrete design

High headroom

Low noise

Jensen transformers couple the input & output

Custom machined aluminum knobs

Gold plated rotary switches and 15-way connector for long life

Utilizes 1122 opamps

The ease with which the machine can be used can be judged from the fact that the knob positions can be located by just looking at the small points marked on them; as a result, doing away with the need of looking at the equalizer time and again. E27's level knob controls upto 16 dbs of cut and boost. The travel of the knob starts slow and gains momentum at the end. Thus, at low levels, the user is given finer control.

Avedis E27 Equalizer is sold here for $1095.
