Description

Elevate your audio experience with the ART Pro Audio HQ-231, a cutting-edge addition to any studio or live sound setup. This dual-channel, 31-band graphic equalizer is engineered for precision and flexibility, offering a proprietary FDC (Feedback Detection Circuitry) that sets it apart. Unlike other systems, ART’s FDC rapidly highlights the frequency band with the most energy through a bright LED, enabling quick adjustments to eliminate feedback with minimal sound disruption. This feature doubles as a spectrum viewer to help identify room and system resonances during setup.

The HQ-231 boasts constant-Q filtering, ensuring each frequency band maintains a consistent bandwidth regardless of gain settings. Its rugged, all-steel 2U rack-mountable chassis is built to withstand the rigors of professional use. With 45mm center-detent sliders, selectable boost or cut ranges, and balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA input/output connections, this unit provides versatile integration into any audio environment. Additional features such as high and low pass filters, analog level metering, and signal clip level indicators further enhance its functionality, making it a reliable choice for both live and studio applications.

Critic Reviews

ART HQ231

soundonsound.com

The ART Pro Audio HQ-231 is a capable dual 31-band graphic EQ with a standout feedback detection display that enhances live sound setups. Its solid build, internal power supply, and intuitive controls make it user-friendly for both novices and pros. The illuminated sliders offer excellent visibility, aiding in quick adjustments, while its constant-Q design ensures precision in frequency management. However, the lack of display adjustments and the challenging placement of XLR connectors in tight rack spaces detract from its usability. Overall, it's a practical choice for live sound engineers, but expect some minor inconveniences.
