138.0. "I don't understand Graphic Equalisers!" by LESLIE::LESLIE (Andy ��� Leslie, VMS/CSSE NEW B1/2-5) Thu Jan 04 1990 08:50

    
    Whilst spending my thousand quid yesterday, I looked at a graphic
    equaliser for the first time. 
    
    But I didn't understand! There was one input and one output line! As I
    have a HiFi VCR, CD, Cassette Deck and Tuner, what the hell use is one
    I/O?
    
    Or am I missing something fundamental in my understanding of how it's
    meant to be hooked up?

Yes - you put it in-line between pre-amp and power-amp.

If you are interested, and can sort out how to power it (its 110V) I have
an American built equaliser that has a tape moniter output - you plug it
into a tape socket on your amp and then if nec. attach your tape recorder 
to it - that I'm not using, that I might be prepared to part with.

    Thanks, but I don't have a pre-amp/amp setup.

    I have a Graphic Equalizer in my HiFi system.  The way it is setup
    is the EQ is connected to the TAPE play/rec on my amp.  The tape
    deck is then connected to the play/rec sockets on the equalizer.
    
    To use the system I have to leave the tape monitor on (As if i were
    going to play a tape).  Then there is a switch on the Equalizer that
    says soething like Tape/Source if it is switched to tape you can
    play a tape or if it is switched to source you can use the
    CD/Tuner/Record deck.
    
    I hope this explains how a EQ works in a HiFi system.
