Marketing Information

Now approaching some 20 years in continuous production, the DN360 dual graphic EQ has achieved ubiquity in professional audio circles. With nearly 30,000 units in the field worldwide, and the lowest failure rate of any comparable product, the DN360 even today remains the dual graphic EQ of choice in most instances. Why is it still so popular, especially in this menu-driven digital age? The answer is threefold: instant access, total reliability, and the great sound of the best analogue EQ money can buy. One of the main contributors to DN360s audio performance is its variable ¡®Q¡¯ design, meaning that the ¡®Q¡¯ value of any fader becomes narrower as the fader approaches maximum cut or boost. So rather than a collection of unconnected cuts and boosts (as provided by a ¡®constant-Q¡¯ device) the DN360 user is rewarded with a flowing, musical response with any overall fader setting. This proprietary design also allows every fader to function correctly regardless of the relative position of its neighbours, another design fault inherent in ¡®constant-Q¡¯ units. Each channel also features an 18dB/octave high-pass filter set at 30Hz to eliminate subsonic ¡®rumble¡¯ if required, plus an EQ in/out switch and an overall 6dB / 12dB fader scale switch for normal or high fader resolution. A design classic, still made as only KT know how.

Features & Benefits

• Two x thirty 30mm oil damped precision faders graphically positioned at 1/3 octave ISO frequencies between 25Hz-20kHz.
• Proprietary circuit designs utilising “MELT” filters giving unbeatable performance.
• Comprehensive standard specifications include electronically balanced inputs and LED overload indicators.
• Earth lift switch enables signal and chassis grounds to be isolated eliminating ground-loop problems.
• Useful low cut 18dB/octave filters preventing subsonic components from overloading speakers or amplifiers.
• Equalisation by-pass allowing easy comparison between direct and equalised signals.
• Scale switching gives the choice of either high slider resolution (±6dB) or normal (±12dB).
• Perspex security cover available to order, for use in permanent sound installations where system calibration has taken place.
