S curve 215 Features
The Samson S curve 215 Graphic Equalizer utilizes state-of-the-art, Constant Q filtering technology for
precise tonal control. Here are some of it’s main features:
The S curve 215 has 15 bands of equalization, with each frequency band representing 2/3 of
an octave in the 25 Hz to 16 kHz range.
Constant Q circuitry ensures that the bandwidth of the selected frequency area stays the same
even when approaching maximum boost or attenuation. As a result, phase shifting and inter-
modulation distortion is greatly reduced, making for pristine sound.
The S curve 215 has 12 dB of gain and attenuation for each of the frequency bands.
Ultra-low noise circuity ensures superb audio fidelity.
Switchable 80 Hz Low Cut Filter for removing rumble and floor noise.
Electronically balanced XLR and TRS inputs and outputs.
•S curve 215 has dual channel operation for processing either a stereo signal or two indepen-
dent monophonic signals.
Front panel hard-wired, relay controlled Bypass switches (with dedicated Bypass LEDs) allow
the equalization circuitry and output level control to be activated or deactivated.
Level controls enable output signals to be attenuated or boosted for optimum signal-to-noise
ratio.
LED faders and LED bar VU meters.
Relay power-on circuitry prevents speaker “thumps” when the unit is turned on.
Internal power supply ensures reliability and trouble-free operation.
Standard 19" rack design (the S curve 215 requires only a single rack space) for easy integra-
tion into any traveling or fixed installation audio system.
Optional security cover kit prevents EQ settings from accidentally being altered.
All-steel chassis makes the S curve 215 eminently road-worthy.
Three year extended warranty.
