SAE Mark XVIIB equalizer

 

Stereo Half Octave Equalizer

The SEA Mark XXVIIB is a highly sophisticated frequency modification system that compensates for room acoustic, balances speaker response, selectively filters noise, equalizes sound for recording, induces stereo on mono program sources and aids in solving most reproduction problems.

Twenty low-noise, low-distortion band pass filters per channel  are provided where each filters center frequency is separated by one-half octave. The filter range effectiveness is selectable at either ±8 dB max or ±16 dB max. Grain or attenuation on the individual filters are independently controlled by calibrated professional slide potentiometers.

Further flexibility is offered in normalizing room acoustics with the inclusion of a "pink Noise" generator. This generator offers the flexibility of calibrating your system for minimum frequency distortion, as well as checking for proper speaker phasing and energy balance. Utilizing our professionally proven precision wound toroid inductors in the classic L-C-R configuration, the mark XXVIIB provides uncompromising performance with low noise (greater than -100 dB) and low harmonic and Intermodulation Distortion Distortion (0,02 T.H.D. and 0,02 Intermodulation Distortion). The full complementary output circuit offers adequate drive for any equipment the Mark XXVIIB will interface with in home or professional applications.
