4 Sweepable Bands

L Band - a low band that incorporates a "Simulated Inductor" (si) design that sweeps the low frequencies from 20Hz - 150Hz. This band offers a Peak/Shelf select switch.

L/M Band - a switchable low and mid band. This fully parametric section can be switched between a low frequency band that sweeps from 40Hz- 800Hz, or a mid frequency band that sweeps 400Hz-8kHz. This band has a variable bandwidth adjustment.

M Band - a fully parametric mid band with a frequency sweep range from 400Hz to 10kHz.

H Band - a high band that also incorporates a “Simulated Inductor” (si) circuit that adjusts the high frequency from 4kHz all the way up to 25kHz.

The Rear Panel

In addition to the standard rack friendly edge connector, the ASC-V has a set of 1/4" TRS input/output jacks, and a power input connector. With these I/O connectors and the optional power module, you can ignore the PC edge connector and use the ASC-V as a stand alone EQ.

Connect the ASC-V to virtually any line level source; balanced, unbalanced, or mixer inserts. The Model ASC-V has high headroom that will handle balanced signals up to +28dBu.
