Does any one know where graphic equalizers are available in Mumbai? I am looking for one desperately.

Raja

Hi Raja,

I think none of the audio dealers/distributors sell any graphic equalizers anymore as most people frown on the function of the eq.(degrading,altering the signal). I personally feel that if ur system is decent there is no need for one really. Having said that u could still one from abroad or buy tons of cheap quality/indian made eqs at lamington road in mumbai. I guess if u must have one thats the place to search.

Regards

hmm i see. ok. i will try lamington, but personally i have always felt and seen that the equalizer enhances sound rather than distort.

thanks.

Raja

Hi agree with dinyaar. If you still want it tryout ebay.us. Few sellers are shipping to India.

eBay – Equalizers, Home Audio and Consumer Electronics items on eBay.com. Find IT on eBay.

ok here is another info.
dnm enterprise based at andheri east import equalizers 10 + 10 band - avble for 5.5k. located at ansa ind estate - can pick up from the factory. timing 8am to4.30 pm mon to sat. owner is mr.dilip bajaj. tel:2847 4038.

I checked the piece now. impressive. has a spectrum analyzer + fully illuminated keys. but i must say that the red leds are a bit hard on the eyes - 'outstandingly bright'. the performance is also impresive - no distortion or hiss whatsoever. it also has an eq bypass / defeat button.
cons - only 2 inputs - tape + cd/dvd.

chaudhary trading at lamington also import equis from taiwan - 10 + 10 band. price is again 5.5.k. same features as abv.

i will check ebay now.

thanks all.

regards,
Raja

Hi again,

Am not being negative but please dont just buy unless 100 % sure. Generally these eqs are very poor in internal build quality. I know its only 5 K but believe me the internals are not worth even 2 K. Many years ago in college when money was really tight me and two friends bought a jetking kit from lamington road and made equalizers for our use as the then system (Sony orson) lacked everything and it sounded good and boosted the frequencies but with seperates today i would never use eqs.
Anyway thats only an opinion.
Regards.

Frequencies are boosted to distortion levels. I had a Technics eq with onkyo prologic amp for 9 years, the sound was satisfactory not very good. Because of this reason i bought 2 channel vintage Pioneers on ebay, sound is crisp & clear without eq.

Hi Anil,
I totally agree that the boosted frequencies tend to distort and sound un natural and am sure can damage tweeters. The equalizer i made was just an experiment in a different era!!!

Hi Anil

I think Dinyaar is right , unless you listen to very old music there is no need for an EQ, But if you still want one ,buy some imported second hand EQs
Yamaha has an Equalizer which is available for around 12k , kindly check that too.

Sorry dev, i hate eq's & subs for 2 channel listning. Mr Raja iyer is in need of eq not me.
