The Trident Audio Developments A - Range 500 Four - Band Equalizer Module is a remarkable piece in audio equipment. It brings back the legendary A - Range equalizer, which has a special place in audio history. With its all - discrete transistor circuitry and the use of inductors in the upper and lower mid bands, it produces a truly musical sound. This 500 module format is a faithful re - creation of the original four - band Trident A - Range equalizer, adding the unique Trident signature to any audio program. Technical specs include an input impedance of 10kohm balanced, 70dB common mode rejection, - 85dBu equivalent input noise (unweighted, no boost or cut), 0.05% distortion (+4dBu output, 1kHz), 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response (- 1dB), +/- 15dB boost/cut range (variable), a filter Q value of 1.3 (1 octave), +22dBu maximum input level, +28dBu max output before clip (10k load), +4dBu nominal output level (electronically balanced), 100 ohm output impedance, - 85dBu output noise floor (typical, unweighted), +16dBu peak LED threshold, XLR I/O connections with pin 2 +, pin 3 -, pin 1 ground, and a maximum current requirement of 130mA per rail.
Using this Trident Audio Developments equalizer module is quite straightforward. First, connect your audio source to the input using the XLR connections. Make sure to follow the pin configuration: pin 2 for positive, pin 3 for negative, and pin 1 for ground. You can then adjust the boost or cut levels according to your audio needs, with a range of +/- 15dB. When it comes to the filter Q value, keep in mind that it's set at 1.3 for 1 octave. For the best results, try to keep the input level below +22dBu and the output level within the nominal +4dBu. As for maintenance, keep the module in a clean and dry environment. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you notice any issues with the LED indicators or sound quality, check the connections first. Also, be careful when handling the module to prevent any physical damage. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact our support team.
