Each of the five broadly overlapping bands on the GML Model 8200 Parametric Equalizer offers 15dB of Boost or Cut and adjustable bandwidth (or “Q”) from 0.4 to 4. The lowest and highest bands also can be switched to Shelf mode.
Quite simply, the GML Model 8200 is the archetype Stereo Parametric Equaliser. Its extraordinary resolution, benchmark transparency, generous headroom, and surgical precision have been the reference for many other equalisers but exceeded by no other. The 2U 8200 uses one 8355 PSU.
The GML Model 8200 Parametric Equaliser has become the reference standard due in large part to its features:
- All-discrete, Class-A design; no integrated circuits to compromise the audio path
- GML Model 8200 features 2 Channels, 5 Bands: Fully Parametric
