The Pultec Passive EQ Plug-In Collection for UAD-2 and Apollo hardware includes the ultimate plug-in emulations of Pulse Techniques’ original passive EQs. With painstakingly modeled amplifier sections now onboard, the Pultec EQ Collection 'breathes' like the original hardware.
Here is the transistor graphic equalizer circuit.Why should make this circuit?We use it for controlling the audio frequency in some kinds of audio frequency responses that are not flat.Which we cannot use a normal tone control circuit. Because it has a too wide bandwidth.We need to use a good equalizer circuit that can respond to narrow bandwidth down. And, divide into frequency bands increased to 5 channels or more.It can control specific actions required frequency bands.If you want to learn a basic equalizer.
I am going to show you a simple circuit like the transistor tone control circuit.Read also:What is more? How it worksLook at the circuit, without ICs.
So, low noise and easy.Transistors Graphic equalizer circuitThis equalizer circuit can be adjusted the frequency to 5 channel is 60 Hz, 100 Hz, 1 kHz, 3 kHz, and 12 kHz.And, this project consists of stereos, right and left channel. It is the same. So, we will learn only the right channel (Mono).In-circuit is Mono. If you want stereo. Just You add Mono another one only.I want you to understand easier. Seeing block diagram may you more.It looks like a preamplifier with a tone control that adds many bandpass filter ranges.Read next:When we enter a signal to the input. Then, C1 passes a signal to coupling through pin1 each potentiometer (VR1-VR5).If we adjust VR5 to a higher level in the middle of a potentiometer.This signal will come to a high and low-frequency filter of each band.
They include the R and C networks.Next, the signal that through each band be combined together.Then, C10-capacitor passes the signal to coupling to a base of Q1 and Q2. Both transistors are a common emitter amplifier.The higher signal goes out of a collector of Q1. It is out of phase with the input.Then, the highest signal or the output signal comes out of the emitter of Q2 via C13.And, some signal will be feedback through R12 to each leg 3 of the potentiometer (VR1 to VR5).When we adjust them to this point. A feedback signal will refute with an input. So, this is a cut-off point.
