Comparing E-Series X-Rack EQ with the console
atticmike:
Hey there,
Has anyone amongst the brit-touched artists compared the e-series x-rack EQ with a racked / console old e-series unit :D ?
I'd be hugely appreciative of your input.

Very interesting question Mike.
I have not had the chance to compare the two units side by side on a sonic level.
I have had the chance to test them on the bench and do some comparisons using a neutrik A1.
There is a huge difference in construction and parts selection between the two units:
-the newer stuff it's completely SMD and uses "cheaper" pots and switches which, for their physical form, are easily mountable on a PCB using an automated system, this in turns means reduced production costs.
-the older stuff it's obviously not SMD and all the pots are hand wired to the main mother board so there is (there was I should say) a lot more work involved into building it.
from measurement point of view they behave (as far as I could measure!) exactly the same....
but again I wish I could have had them side by side in the studio as that would have been THE TEST.
it would be interesting to do an A/B test and see if anybody could spot any difference...perhaps it's something we should do...
are you based in UK?

PS= we are still working on the forum to visualize members location...be patient..

The X-Rack stuff omits the Hi and Low filters, replaced with a fixed 'Hi Pass' button. This is a shame.

We should do an A-B test, Mmmm.. maybe SSL would lend us some?
