Enjoy precise audio control over your home stereo system with the AudioSource EQ200 10-band graphic equalizer. The device boasts 20 bands of frequency adjustments (10 for each channel) to improve the performance of everything from classic LPs to modern CDs and MP3s. Each EQ slider is positioned one octave apart from the others--from 39 Hz to 16 kHz--to correspond with the entire range of human hearing. To adjust the vocal or instrumental balance of a favorite song, merely move the matching sliders up or down (each features 12 dB of boost or cut) until the right level is reached. Identification is simple thanks to the illuminated LEDs (one for each slider). Plus, the device offers a multicolor spectrum analyzer, which interprets the signal levels of the sliders and displays them onscreen. The analyzer not only helps you monitor the audio output, but it also looks ultra-cool when the lights are low. The EQ200 features two A/V inputs that offer the ability to control traditional audio sources, such as a CD player or turntable, along with the audio channels of video sources like VCRs or DVD players. To select an audio source, the listener merely presses the A/V button to the "in" position, while leaving it "out" controls the video source. Note that the EQ200 only affects the audio of DVD players or satellite systems. It has no impact on the picture, nor does it include any video-type connections. Users can also connect two cassette decks to the unit through the dedicated Tape 1 and Tape 2 inputs and outputs. The EQ200 plugs into your stereo through your receiver's Tape Monitor Loop input. As such, it offers a number of functions specifically designed for connected cassette decks, including a Tape 1-2/Tape 2-1 button that assists you when making tape copies with one deck or dubbing between a pair of tape decks. Listeners don't have to forfeit the traditional recording functions of their cassette decks, either, as the EQ200's tape outputs facilitate recording from the radio, CD, or other sources. Other functions include EQ record, which lets you make a tape copy using a customized equalization curve, and the non-cassette-specific EQ bypass, which allows the user to make comparisons between "equalized" and unequalized" sounds. So of the missing piece to your audio puzzle is the ability to fine-tune your music to meet your demanding tastes, the EQ200 may be a good fit for your system. The device measures 16.56 by 3.5 by 11.88 inches (W x H x D) and is covered by a two-year warranty. What's in the Box
EQ200 graphic equalizer, two 34-inch stereo RCA cables, warranty/registration sheet, user's manual.

This equiptment does require a solid speaker/amp set up. This will give you the capability to blow out cheaper speakers due to a lack of internal limiting circuitry. Not a complaint at all though.
The range on this thing is very good, also allows you to EQ recordings you make to CD, Tape or MP3 if desired. Made the music sound much bigger and sharper. Especially feeling my CD's were flat in sonic output. If not desired, the bypass button will stop this effect with a single touch.
Mine was built a year or so ago, sat around in it's box and yes, got "sticky" before it was sold. I quickly resolved this by blowing dust with aerosol out while pushing the buttons in and out. Not a problem since.
Smooth operation that doesn't impart a "click" onto your recorded media when reproducing and fine tuning things live. Plated plugs and a turntable ground wire in the rear all plusses aswell. Quite pleased, gonna buy another. |

Such A Wonderful Confusion

I listen to a lot of music, and I've learned through the years that onboard equalizers for stereos are usually pretty worthless. So, in owning a relatively inexpensive(I paid around $500 for the Component Stereo and CD Player a few years back) sound system, it was worth my money to get an EQ that I could control. Now I'm going to admit right now, I'm a picky person when it comes to asthetics, which is partly why I bought the EQ200 in the first place. The unit is laid out very well, and looks better as a component than any other EQ on the market(outside of the recent Technical Pro brands(but from what I can tell, they're [...])). The sound quality, once you've tuned it into what your preference is, is absolutely top-notch. One of the best things about a good Equalizer is the ability to make an okay stereo sound like a system that costs much more than it actually is. The precise and accurate reproduction of the sound that comes from this EQ would make you expect to pay much more for the quality(as it makes CDs really come to life). I cannot express to you the difference this EQ will make with the right adjustments.
But here's my one gripe with this unit: it cuts out my audio channels for no particular reason. I have had 3 Units that do this, all show the symptoms within a month or two of breaking in. I know that it is an issue with the EQ, but I'm not so sure that it's the EQ at fault, so much as a disagreement somewhere between the stereo and the EQ itself. To explain(and not to discourage you from buying this EQ), I have an old Optimus EQ that I bought to literally replace this EQ(no where NEAR the quality) because of the problem, and the Optimus has never cut out on the channels. However, when I plugged the EQ200 into my alternate headphone stereo(1974 Scott Solid state, runs into my computer) I have not had a single problem with it. No removal of audio passage, no cutting out. So I'm convinced that my 5.1/Listening stereo does NOT agree with this Equalizer. What I cannot figure out is why it takes 2 months of clean operation for this to happen.
Also to be fair to Audiosource, every time I've had a problem with this unit, they listened to me, and replaced the unit for free. Even if they found nothing to be wrong with it(sent the last one in for repairs), they replaced it for me. I cannot complain about a company that's actually willing to help out its customer base.
4 stars only because of my inability to use it on my main stereo. But whatever, I'll be replacing that stereo in the next year or two anyway. |
This is a very cool thing!

| I just purchased this unit through Amazon.com, and never having owned one before, I didn't quite know what to expect. It arrived promptly, and even though the box it came in wasn't placed inside of another box, (for shipping purposes) it was fine. The instructions seem to be translated from Chinese, but they are fairly basic, and clear. It seems to perform as you would expect a graphic equalizer to do, bringing out the parts of the music you want to enhance. It gives you all of the options you need, except for one. There are two inputs for two tape players, but only one input for either a cd player, or video tape/dvd player. There might be a way around this, but it would be better if it already had that option for both. Other than that, I think it works great! I am very pleased with the way it makes my music sound, and the graphic display is very impressive, as well as fun to watch! Contrary to the other review of 3 years ago, there are no sticky buttons. (I didn't think there would be). I would say that there may be better ones out there, but for the money, it performs admirably. |
