| Tapco Tweeq T231 Details
The Tweeq T231 is a 2-channel 31-band graphic equalizer that allows you to "tune" your live sound setup to sound best in any given space. This instrument provides fine control of 31 frequency bands—giving you the power to "shape" your sound with exceptional precision. Whether you're running live sound or enhancing an installed system, you can count on Tweeq's bulletproof construction, quality sliders, and great sound quality at a price that just might allow you to buy two.
Why should you Tweeq?
Your average car or home stereo typically provides bass and treble controls to let you tune your system to your particular taste. The Tweeq T231 works in a similar way, but offers much finer control via 31 separate precision slide controls that boost or cut specific frequencies, ranging from the lowest bass to the highest treble frequencies. While you can certainly use the T231 to fine-tune a PA system to suit your particular tonal preferences, it's most powerful as a tool for correcting issues like muddy sounding loudspeakers or annoying feedback from stage monitors.
What's to Tweeq?
The T231 features dual-channel stereo operation with precision sliders for fine control of your audio. It's designed with constant Q filters for superior sonic performance at 1/3-octave intervals across the entire range of frequencies normal human beings, drummers and DJs can hear. In addition, both channels offer variable high and Low Pass Filters for removing unwanted upper and lower frequencies from your sound, a 6 or 12 dB Range switch for gross- or fine tuning, bright four-segment LED metering, Output gain control, and a Bypass switch for quick A/B comparisons. And forget the adapters because the Tweeq T231 provides RCA, balanced/unbalanced ¼-inch and balanced XLR connections for both inputs and outputs.
Tough, so you don't have to be
Fortunately for you road dogs, the Tweeq T231 is compact - filling just two spaces in your standard 19-inch rack-mount road case. It has a switchable 115V/230V power supply in case you're traveling across borders, and it's designed to be tough enough to withstand the punishing rigors of the road while continuing to perform set after set, night after night, year after year.
