  • Page 3 DESIGN NINE-BANDS: Eight Octave-wide bands and one two-Oc- tave band of boost and cut are employed in the OEQ-1. One- Octave bands are the minimum required for effective control over the bass and midrange; the two-Octave-wide 12kHz band controls the very high “tingle” region where tonal perception is less critical.
  • Page 4 3.5 Volts RMS. Many sources put out over one Volt RMS, leading to less than 11dB or headroom. The OEQ-1 employs a fully isolated 36-Volt (plus and minus 18 Volt) supply. There is no DC path to chassis ground, so ground loops are eliminated.

    Step 2: Feed one channel of the Octave Equalizer with pink noise from the pink noise generator. Step 3: Evaluate the unequalized response. Major system problems, for instance large response “holes” or “peaks”, should be solved by correcting speaker or system problems. Trying to equalize out large response errors (over 6dB) will result in overdriven amplifiers and speakers, and should not be attempted.

    Curve “D” illustrates reduced roll-off in the mids and highs. The OEQ-1 is deliberately restricted to 9dB of boost or cut per band. This is meant to discourage attempts to correct large system response problems with the equalizer. System...
