The Citronic CEQ215 is a professional-grade dual 15-band graphic equalizer designed for precise audio control in various environments. Housed in a compact 1U 19" rackmount chassis, it features two independent 15-band channels with 2/3 octave ISO spacing, allowing for detailed frequency adjustments between 25Hz and 16kHz. Each band operates with a constant Q, ensuring consistent bandwidth across all frequencies for accurate sound shaping. Additional features include RF filtered servo-balanced inputs, individual bypass switches for EQ comparison, low-cut switches, gain controls per channel, and LED VU meters for real-time signal monitoring. With a frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz, a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 102dB, and a total harmonic distortion of 0.005%, the CEQ215 delivers high-fidelity audio performance suitable for live sound reinforcement, studio recording, and fixed installations.

The Citronic CEQ215 is engineered for versatility, making it suitable for a variety of settings:


  • Live Sound Reinforcement: Ideal for concerts and events where precise audio adjustments are critical.

  • Recording Studios: Provides detailed frequency control for mixing and mastering applications.

  • Broadcasting: Ensures optimal sound clarity and control for radio stations and podcasts.

  • Theatrical Productions: Adapts audio outputs tailored to varying stage environments.

  • Nightclubs and Venues: Enhances control over music and sound atmospheres in entertainment settings.


With its robust construction and precise sound-shaping capabilities, the CEQ215 is a reliable choice for professionals seeking high-quality audio performance across diverse applications.



CEQ215 Dual 15-band Graphic EQ

The CEQ215 is a 19" rack mounted dual 15-band graphic equaliser, which allows the adjustment of labelled frequencies via the individual cut/boost faders. Up to 12dB of cut or boost for frequencies ranging from 25Hz to 16kHz for accurate audio spectrum control.

Features

  • Switchable Bypass per channel
  • Switchable Low Cut filter per channel
  • Independent Gain controls
  • ±12dB adjustment per band

Connection

The unit can be used in 2 configurations…

  1. As 2 independent mono graphic equalizers – e.g. for 2 separate

    microphones on channel inserts

  2. As a stereo left & right EQ – e.g. as a main L+R EQ on master

    inserts or between the mixer and amp.

Before connecting to an amplifier or other equipment, turn down all volume controls to avoid loud noises which may cause damage to other equipment. Always switch amplifier power on last in line with volume levels down. Use good quality 6.3mm jack or XLR signal leads to connect the equalizer to allied equipment. The unit can be used as 2 independent mono equalizers (e.g. for 2 microphone channels, requiring specific EQ profiles). Connect mains power via the IEC (ensuring lead is in good condition and the voltage selector is same as the supply voltage) and switch the POWER on.

Operation

Begin with all frequency sliders and the GAIN controls in the centre position (no boost or cut) at 0dB.
Switch the “IN/OUT” button to IN and the respective LED will light.
Adjust each frequency in turn to acquire the best response and reduce any problem frequencies.

Bear in mind that many loudspeakers cannot reproduce frequencies down as far as 20Hz and that the energy from the amplifier at these low frequencies is wasted as heat in the speaker coil. Therefore, the “LOW CUT” may be preferred to be on in sound reinforcement scenarios.

Also, with live PA situations, the crossover point between subs and mid-top cabs can generate phase problems which may be alleviated by reducing frequencies around this point.

Extremely high frequencies are often not feasible for live sound systems, due to the limitations of microphones and loudspeakers (and most people’s ears) and 20kHz may be reduced to save wasted amplifier energy at these high frequencies.

For whichever particular application, experimentation and practice will eventually give the best results from your equalizer.
