Reviews of Alesis DEQ830 Programmable Digital Graphic Equalizer
Feature: The RTA shows which frequencies (and their levels) an instrument or voice is taking up in the mix. That teaches me what I'm hearing. Seeing the frequency info also helps with multiband compression settings and mixing. Eight 1/4" TRS bal or unbal IO +4/-10 switchable. ADAT IO. 24 bit 44.1 or 48khz (you choose or uses incoming clock.)
Value: This unit is really versatile. It's an 8 channel 24 bit ADC. It's an 8 channel DAC. It's a Real Time Analyzer. For me seeing is knowing. I hope to get to the hearing is knowing state with the help of the deq830.
Desirability: I could not mix without it. Steinberg Wavelab and Wavess PAZ are good for seeing sound inside the computer, but this is the most afforable way of seeing it outside the computer that I know of.
Sound: I only use the RTA and the ADA not the EQ. Manual says 100db SNR.
Support: Not used yet.
Overall: If they add 96khz ADA to the 44.1 and 48khz of this unit I will probably upgrade and give this one to my bro. Of course I would ave to buy another sound
