Operating Manual - MQX-2310, MQX-1310, and MQX-2150 Graphic Equalizer 1. INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of an Ashly MQX series graphic equalizer. The MQX series follows our popular GQX equalizers with the same quality you expect from Ashly, only in a smaller package. Where most “mini-equalizers” use 20mm faders, Ashly uses custom built professional quality 25mm faders for maximum resolution and long life.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS 7.1General Tone Control The graphic equalizer is a very useful device for general tone shaping because it is intuitive and easy to adjust. The visual reference provided by the slider position gives an approximate idea of the frequency response generated, with the lower frequencies on the left and higher frequencies on the right.
Operating Manual - MQX-2310, MQX-1310, and MQX-2150 Graphic Equalizer when this filter type is combined with a potentiometer to adjust the equalization, the resistance of this pot affects the “Q” of the filter so that a little equalization produces a much broader curve than a lot of equalization. The other filter approach is a true bandpass filter. This can be made with no inductors and more practical sized capacitors; the “Q” is easily set and remains constant, and the parts count is reasonable.
