Alesis' 8-Channel Programmable Digital EQ!

Alesis gives you everything you want in a programmable digital EQ without the monster price tag! The DEQ830 offers 8 independent channels of 1/3-octave equalizers, 24-bit sound quality, and more flexible routing options than any other EQ in its class.

  • 8 independent EQ channels, ideal for live sound work
  • Analog and digital inputs and outputs for use with a DAW
  • Clear visual display and locking feature to protect your settings
  • 100 editable programs and 50 templates make adjustments easy

An affordable 8-channel EQ for any audio application
The DEQ830 sports eight independent programmable 1/3-octave graphic equalizers. 30 band-select buttons cover 25Hz to 20kHz, with 13-segment LEDs for each band. An extremely intuitive user interface and multiple I/O options all come in an amazingly compact 1U rackmount design.

Analog and ADAT digital I/O
The DEQ830's connections include eight balanced 1/4" TRS analog inputs and outputs and eight channels of ADAT optical digital I/O. 24-bit operation makes the DEQ830 the perfect EQ unit for a range of modern live and recording applications.

BEST PIECE OF GEAR IN THE RACK!!!

by Rod Runion from Houston, Tx.

This unit is by far the best piece of gear in my live rack. The difference is night and day. 8 channels of EQ and a spectrum analyzer all in one rack space is awsome, but the sound is even better!!!

Using this for a rehearsal monitor system. Love it. 1RU, 8 mixes, sweet.
Love the RTA function. Memory for the different projects using the system is convenient.

This little piece of gear is like a giant tool box of EQs.

Well worth the price. One of my all time faves of audio inventions.

Exactly What I Needed

by Joshua Skaja from Chicago, IL

Music Background: Professional Guitarist/Singer
I have a trio that plays 12+ instruments, and I run our sound from stage. Downtime between songs was killing us--we'd spend minutes muting, switching, trying to avoid tangling cords, making small adju... read more [+]stments--and it was impossible to work the crowd.

Now each guy has exactly one cord to plug in no matter which instrument he plays. That cord goes to the mixer (Yamaha O1V), which is connected to the DEQ830 via lightpipe. All the EQ settings for each instrument are saved, and each configuration has its own program number. We put the appropriate program number for each song on the set list and just give the knob a little twist. It's made a world of difference in our sound, our ability to schmooze the crowd, and in our overall comfort level onstage.

I'm docking it a half star because I haven't yet been able to get good results with the 12db boost/cut to level out the gain between instruments. It's probably user error, but even still I have to dock it for being counter-intuitive in that regard. close [-]

If your looking for a good sounding full spectrum eq that is 8 channels in one rack space, Alesis is the only one out there.

The only downfall is if you are planning on using this uni... read more [+]t outside, don't expect to see the LEDs. I had to make an elaborate sun shield to barely be able to use this unit outside.

other than that, unit is great close [-]
