The Rane GE 60 Stereo Interpolating Constant-Q Equalizer is a 2-channel,
1/3-octave design, housed in a three rack-space unit. The GE 60
represents a contractor version of our popular ME 60 microGraphic
Equalizer. Interpolating constant-Q performance, increased slider
travel (45 mm), and screw terminal Inputs and Outputs distinguish the
GE 60.
The active filter sections feature the GE 30s
innovative interpolating constant-Q (constant bandwidth) design. This
means the bandwidth of each individual filter is guaranteed to be
narrow enough to prevent unwarranted interaction between filters, yet
wide enough to produce exactly the type of correction curve demanded by
even the most unusual acoustic surroundings. This differs dramatically
from proportional-Q designs encumbered with the unfortunate
characteristic of changing bandwidth for every boost/cut level. Aside
from being a constant-Q device, the GE 60 also provides what Rane has
dubbed "Interpolating" performance. This means that when two adjacent
bands are boosted or cut to the same level, the response of the
equalizer peaks (or interpolates a response) at a frequency centered
between the filters. Interpolating performance allows effective control
between ISO centers.
GE 60 front panel controls and
indicators include an overall rotary Level control for each Channel as
well as Overload indicators. Passive pushbutton Bypass switches feature
LED indicators, avoiding ambiguity by being on when the unit is
Bypassed. (A passive BYPASS switch requires no power to operate. This
allows restoration of the audio path should power fail in the GE 60.)
The rear of the GE 60 provides a flexible array of connector choices.
Inputs and Outputs are electronically balanced designs, capable of
unbalanced operation when required. They accept and drive all possible
signal levels into normal load impedances. Choose between the screw
terminals, XLR or 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve connectors.
