boutiquers could easily build para and graphic eqs but I'm not sure most folks would want to pony up the price over and against the factory eqs out there.



Two Antelope MD EQs just went on Ebay for $226 and $232.

`scuse my ignorance: whaddaya mean by "tight"?


do you mean steep, i.e.: many dB/octave filters

(hi-/lo-passes or bandpasses for multiple ranges),

with close adjacent "crossover"-frequencies?


;)



Should this have been directed to Dave Fox?

Doesn't the voltage just control the depth of the filter (the amount of resistance to one resistor), rather than the cutoff frequency? I'm pretty sure you need a new capacitor for every c/o freq. change....And a 4-pole filter alone requires four caps. So 10 freq. choices with 4-pole filters equals 40 capacitors!
