Dbx FCS-960 30 Band Dual Mode Graphic Equalizer
The BSS FCS-960 Dual Mode 2-Channel Graphic Equalizer from dbx is a 30-band graphic equalizer featuring dual mode switching between normal and fine filter width settings on each channel. It provides 2 channels in 3U of rack space. Constant Q-filters with filter-bypass center taps are controlled by high-grade, 45mm faders with molded polymer fader knobs, which eliminate visual parallax error even under low light conditions. Also included are sweepable/switchable hi-pass filter, gain control, and electronic balanced inputs and outputs.
The graphic equalizer shall have two channels each having thirty boost/cut faders to control filters at standard third-octave isocentre frequencies from 25Hz to 20kHZ. Each fader shall have a 45 mm travel with a mechanical centre detent and electrical centre tap which removes its filter from the signal path at the zero fader setting. A Mode switch on each channel shall allow its filters to be configured with a Normal Q-factor or Fine Q-factor. In both Modes, the Q-factor of each filter shall be constant for any fader level setting.
