    Good value for price

    First of all, your expectations have to be in line with the price. The slider controls for each frequency band are a bit fiddly. The spectrum analyzer is nothing more than a static image of bars that move with the sound signal in the fashion of a combined channel VU meter (not true spectrum analyzer). I purchased it for the ability to record to a cassette deck by utilizing the secondary equalizer output on the back of this unit. I have this secondary output connected to a passive preamplifier (glorified signal switch) and I have two cassette decks and a secondary CD player connected to the passive preamplifier. This unit is very light, but all the fit and finish are clean and as designed. My unit remembers what the last source you selected before powering it down (if you select tape, power down the unit, it will be on tape at start up again). Overall, for the price, I think this is a good value. You can purchased a used equalizer, but you will have to deal with the 30+ years of deterioration. Maybe worth the risk???? Maybe not.

  • Top critical review

    What you see is NOT what you get!

    First and foremost what follows are the actual dimensions: Width: 16 9/10", Depth: 9 1/16", Height: 3 9/16" maximum. 19" is a total untruth. Much of the rest of the machine is a bunch of BS as well: the "spectrum analyzer" is little more than a light show displaying no useful audio information; 21 sliders per channel, where-as certainly looking impressive in fact provides no perceivably better sonic control than a 10 slider per channel unit, it just makes for more work; buttons must be reset each time you turn the unit on; too bright - no way to dim the LEDs on the sliders; 3 prong plug makes integrating into system more difficult - a 79 cent adapter works OK for me. I could go on with faults but I won't because it's essentially a cheap product and you get what you pay for. But as a graphic equalizer it does exactly what it's supposed to do. I have my Rockville set up in my bedroom system where it makes my small Polk Audio bookshelf speakers sound like large Polk Audio bookshelf speakers and oh so fine. Be careful, and subtle with your sliders and with this machine you can do the same.

  • Good, but only for limited applications

    Small sliders are nearly impossible to set accurately. Bar graph is not a real Audio level meter for each band and jumps around In regular lighting the blue LEDs are glaringly bright right channel is slightly louder than left. Audio was clear. easy to install

  • Great equalizer for low budget systems

    Amazing sound upgrade with 21 levels of adjustment for your liking for what you want to hear coming from your speakers. Can't beat the price either. I purchased another brand for my lil system at work that is the same one just a different name for about $50 more. Wish I would have seen this one first to save that $50. This eq will not disappoint you.

  • Functions great...but

    It's a 21 band equalizer, it does that. Gave it three stars because 1. the spectrum analyzer looks more for show than anything else 2. There is no way to stop the spectrum analyzer from continually cycling through it's display modes 3. As every one else says, the blue leds on the slider controls are WAY, WAY too bright

  • false advertising

    Item has useless light show, not spectrum analyzer. EQ faders show 12 DBs of frequency boost or cut, but faders only go to 8 DBs. Seller claimed item had left and right channel volume controls, but it doesn't. piece of junk.....

  • Cheap but works

    I needed an equalizer to correct for a unique room issue for living room TV. I used it to set a correction EQ for the room and don't plan to touch it again. If that's what you need, it'll do the job. The display is beyond lame and useless, I blacked it out with black tape.

  • The equalizer arrived within a week so I was ready to try it out , soon after I connected the unit and played some music I could hear the difference

  • Fantastic 21 Band Graphic Equalizer

    Fantastic 21 Band Graphic Equalizer w/Spectrum Analyzer for the price, I give it a 9 stars out of 10. I wish the frequency sliders had a better of longer slide range for adjustments, other than that I have no complaints. Makes my stereo system sound 10 time better with the 21 frequency band adjustments !!! Well worth the money !!!

  • Great EQ for the price.

    Works great! Best value for the money. Rack mountable. Only issue is newer receivers don't have a tape monitor circuit, but you can work around it by using any input on the amp and then feeding the inputs into the EQ. It has 4 of its own inputs.
