Commentary
This is a graphic equalizer that takes advantage of the quality of the amplifier and was developed to give priority to sound quality.
The SE-8 uses carefully selected parts and a semiconductor inductor circuit that takes advantage of the know-how of amplifier manufacturing to improve the distortion factor and SN ratio.
By adopting a semiconductor inductor circuit, we have eliminated coils that have deteriorated the S / N ratio by picking up hum and noise due to magnetic distortion and electromagnetic induction.
It is composed of 10-band left / right independent variable slide volume, and equalization is possible with the same setting as ISO standard professional machine.
It is equipped with a spectrum analyzer that can display the level of the left / right signal alone or a mix of left / right signals.
In addition, it is equipped with a peak hold function that can stand still for 3-4 seconds.
Equipped with two tape inputs, monitor and dubbing can be selected independently.
Also, one touch equalization is possible for both tape playback, recording, and dubbing from Tape1 to Tape2.
Equipped with a Defeat position switch. When turned on, the input / output circuit can be directly connected without passing through the equalizer circuit.
