Description

Edit description

The parametric unit is based on a special innovative technology designed by Livio Argentini. Unlike other parametric equalizers, LA-117 uses a parallel configuration and this allows for a very low distortion, low noise end especially low phase rotation. LA-117 can do the swap between Bax and Parametric.

The interaction of these different equalizers enables the LA-117 to any range of acoustic correction.

The extreme large bandwidth granted an extreme transient response and an extreme natural sound unique in the market. The very simple ( instrumental type ) electronic balanced amplifier, without transformers and servoamplifier, allows a perfect square wave response and absolutely not colored sound. The insertion of a MID-SIDE matrix ( suggested by Luca Pretolesi), and the external insert capability, tranform the LA-117 in a complex audio Hub. The special modular construction allows an extreme quick servicing and an easy customization.
