Rolls Stereo Equalizer RPQ160 User Guide

RPQ160 Parametric Equalizer  
The RPQ160 is a four-band parametric equalizer for the professional audio installation and  
music market. The unit is housed in a steel painted 1U rack space chassis, has an internal  
power supply, and is designed to withstand the rigors of road use.  
Each frequency band has a variable Frequency select control which adjusts the frequency  
center, a Width (Q) control which varies the shape of the equalization curve, and a +/- 15 dB  
Level control. Additional frequency control has been provided with variable High and Low  
pass shelving filters. An overall Level control, a Bypass switch, and a Power LED round out  
the front panel.  
Since equalization is used on virtually every type of audio signal and in many various applica-  
tions, the RPQ160 has RCA, 1/4" and XLR inputs and outputs provided on the rear panel.  
A parametric equalizer, unlike conventional graphic equalizers, provides for the precise con-  
trol over the frequency selection, band width and levels. The RPQ160 is a powerful tool when  
used for room equalization, sound reinforcement, or home or studio recording applications.  
FEATURES:  
• Four bands of parametric equalization  
• +/- 15 dB of Boost/Cut for each frequency  
• RCA, 1/4" and XLR inputs and outputs  
• Adjustable high and low shelving filters  
"T" Filters, which avoid the complexity and distortion of state-variable filters

lor the frequency response of the signal; the  
Low Shelf cuts the frequencies 3 dB at the  
control's indicated setting and rolls off be-

low, and the High Shelf cuts the frequencies  
3dB at the indicated setting and rolls off

Shown to the left is a typical symmetrical  
response curve of a swept parametric band  
filter with the Frequency control set at 1 kHz,  
the Level set at +15 and -15 dB, and the Oc-  
tave control set at .3, .5, 1, and 3. These  
curves remain consistent over the frequency  
spectrum, they simply shift to whatever fre-  
quency setting is indicated by the Frequency  
control.
