At the 129th AES Convention in San Francisco Speck Electronics showcased the newest product within their line, the ACS-V Equalizer.
The ASC-V is a professional single channel 4-band equalizer in a 5.25” vertical module compatible with API Audio 500 series rack frames.
It is simple to use and delivers the high quality and specifications found in all Speck Electronics gear.
The ACS-V is compact 4-band parametric equalizer with 12 controls for equalization adjustment that covers the audio spectrum from 25Hz to to 25kHz which includes both transformer-balanced and active-balanced outputs.
The 4 bands include:
L Band: A low band that sweeps the low frequencies from 25Hz – 400Hz. 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 adjusts the high frequency from 2kHz all the way up to 25kHz. This band also offers a Peak/Shelf select switch.
In addition to the standard rack friendly edge connector, the ASC-V includes a set of 1/4” TRS input/output jacks, and a power input connector. With these I/O connectors and the optional power module, users can ignore the PC edge connector and use the ASC-V as a stand alone EQ.
The ACS-V also comes optional with a mounting base that will hold a single EQ or a pair of the ASC-V’s.
