DESCRIPTION

The Altec Lansing 1905A is a boost and cut five
band Parametric Equalizerwhose primary use is for
tuning the overall frequency response of a sound
reinforcement system, both to increase gain-before-
feedback and to compensate for the deficiencies in
the acoustic environment and the sound system.

The ability to control both the bandwidth and
center frequency of a bank of filters as well as the
degree of boost or cut opens up a new dimension
in equalization allowing filter correction and cre-
ative filtenng capabilities of unparalleled accuracy
and precision.

Each of the five parametric filters allows a
range from +15 dB of boost to -25 dB of cut at vari-
able frequencies per band.

A high-pass filter control, with a variable comer
frequency range of 15 Hz - 300 Hz and 12 dB per
octave slope, is located on the front panel along
with a low-pass filter control, with a variable comer
frequency range of 2.5 kHz - 30 kHz and 12 dB per
octave slope. A master level control allows the
signal to be boosted up to 6 dB or cut to -oo. A
master EQ-lN switch allows the user to remove the
equalizer from the signal path.

The 1905A can be used as a stand alone
parametric equalizer, or can be utilized in con-
junction vvith the TEF 20 and AcoustaEQ software.
This allows a higher degree of accuracy in the
equalization process.
