Product Description
A 10-band per channel equalizer with 2 line inputs & 2 tape monitor loops
Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy precise audio control over your home stereo system with the AudioSource EQ200 10-band graphic equalizer. The device boasts 20 bands of frequency adjustments (10 for each channel) to improve the performance of everything from classic LPs to modern CDs and MP3s. Each EQ slider is positioned one octave apart from the others--from 39 Hz to 16 kHz--to correspond with the entire range of human hearing. To adjust the vocal or instrumental balance of a favorite song, merely move the matching sliders up or down (each features 12 dB of boost or cut) until the right level is reached. Identification is simple thanks to the illuminated LEDs (one for each slider). Plus, the device offers a multicolor spectrum analyzer, which interprets the signal levels of the sliders and displays them onscreen. The analyzer not only helps you monitor the audio output, but it also looks ultra-cool when the lights are low. The EQ200 features two A/V inputs that offer the ability to control traditional audio sources, such as a CD player or turntable, along with the audio channels of video sources like VCRs or DVD players. To select an audio source, the listener merely presses the A/V button to the "in" position, while leaving it "out" controls the video source. Note that the EQ200 only affects the audio of DVD players or satellite systems. It has no impact on the picture, nor does it include any video-type connections. Users can also connect two cassette decks to the unit through the dedicated Tape 1 and Tape 2 inputs and outputs. The EQ200 plugs into your stereo through your receiver's Tape Monitor Loop input. As such, it offers a number of functions specifically designed for connected cassette decks, including a Tape 1-2/Tape 2-1 button that assists you when making tape copies with one deck or dubbing between a pair of tape decks. Listeners don't have to forfeit the traditional recording functions of their cassette decks, either, as the EQ200's tape outputs facilitate recording from the radio, CD, or other sources. Other functions include EQ record, which lets you make a tape copy using a customized equalization curve, and the non-cassette-specific EQ bypass, which allows the user to make comparisons between "equalized" and unequalized" sounds. So of the missing piece to your audio puzzle is the ability to fine-tune your music to meet your demanding tastes, the EQ200 may be a good fit for your system. The device measures 16.56 by 3.5 by 11.88 inches (W x H x D) and is covered by a two-year warranty. What's in the Box
EQ200 graphic equalizer, two 34-inch stereo RCA cables, warranty/registration sheet, user's manual.

 Works well June 1, 2008
The equalizer works well, but a digital system that can "remember" various music types (classical, Jazz, Rock, etc) would have been more usefull. I had to make a drawing of each application (for example old turntable, jazz, classical) settings and change the sliders every time I change my CD or phono music. Next step is to upgrade to a better system I guess ...
 STAY ALWAY FROM THIS JUNK May 19, 2008
I READ THE REVIEWS OF THE PRODUCT AND DIDN'T LISTEN TO THEM. THREE MONTHS AFTER I HAD IT THE EQ BUTTON STARTED ACTING UP AND CHANNELS WERE CUTTING OUT AND THE PROBLEM GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS TOTALLY ANNOYING. THEN THE SOUND QUALITY WENT BAD ON IT. I STARTED GETTING DISTORTION AND I WOULD SOMETIMES GET THESE SONIC SCREECHES EVEN WITH THE TREBLE TURNED DOWN ON THE AMP. THE UNIT HAS A LEFT AND A RIGHT CHANNEL VOLUME CONTROL, IT WAS A NICE FEATURE IF YOU WANTED TO TWEAK THE BALANCE IN YOUR ROOM. THEN THE RIGHT CHANNEL WENT SOUR AND DROPPED HALF ITS VOLUME. THAT'S WHEN THE AUDIOSOURCE EQ200 TOOK A LITTLE TRIP TO THE GARBAGE DUMPSTER. EVEN THOUGH THE COMPANY IS BASED IN AMERICA IT'S ACTUALLY CHEAP CHINESE JUNK. MANUFACTURED IN CHINA WITH CHEAP,INFERIOR PARTS. NO QUALITY WENT INTO THIS MACHINE, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. I CLEANED UP MY OLD TEAC EQUALIZER THAT I'VE HAD SINCE THE LATE 70'S AND MY SOUND SYSTEM IS BACK IN BUSINESS.
Not Very Good Quality Equipment April 10, 2008
It worked well for the first few months but then the left channel started getting static in it and soon went dead. It shouldn't have gone bad so quickly. I'm using a Pioneer receiver that is pushing 10 years in age and it still works beautifully. I don't know if I just got a lemon or not but I won't be buying another.
worst equaliser November 11, 2007
I strongly DO NOT RECOMMEND this product. I have used it three times
and then went dead. I did not bother to call Audio Source or return
the product to Amazon. I re-ordered another brand (Teac) and I hope
that this one would be a better equalizer.
Great sound, but has a major defect June 14, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I recently purchased three EQ100's for a 5.1 channel HD-DVD home theater system. I wanted to equalize the sound of the high definition analog audio out on my HD-DVD player, having an older sound processor that doesn't offer tonal balance via 5.1 analog inputs I decided to hook up three equalizers to get the sound I was looking for. I looked into a lot of equalizers, Pyle, Gem, QSC ect. I originally wanted to buy a set of professional equalizers but a few weeks ago J&R was selling refurbished EQ100's for $39, that's a steal for any equalizer, so I picked up three units. I should note, there's no difference between the EQ100 and 200, it's the same unit.
Once everything was hooked up and set up properly the sound quality was amazing. The sound quality these equalizers put out brought a smile to my face, I honestly wasn't expected much from them, but the EQ100's delivered the goods. After about 3 weeks of use, I started to notice my speakers cutting out. Having high end speakers I knew they weren't bad, I initially thought maybe my amp was being pushed too hard, but after running sound sweeps at nearly full volume I knew my amp was rock solid. After examining the equalizers I realized that the "sticky button" problem others have had with their units was happening to mine. After wiggling around the eq on/off button it was apparent that this was the cause of the problem. Now this is not an isolated problem either, I bought 3 of these equalizers and all 3 of them have this problem, this is a defect and a design flaw. The problem is not that button sticks though, the problem is that the connection that the button is suppose to make fails to bridge, kind of like a light switch that's just almost switched on making the lights flicker on and off, It's big defect.
I fixed the sticky button problem on my equalizers by removing the switch and soldering a piece of wire to permanently bridge the connection so I don't have to worry about anything cutting out. Since I'm using these equalizers for one purpose this solution works for me.
The EQ100/200 offers great sound quality, but because of the button defects I don't recommend this product. If you can get this equalizer cheap and don't mind a little work you can solder and bridge the button contacts as I did, and the unit will work with no problems. Otherwise buy a professional equalizer, Pyle pro, gem, DBX and QSC make excellent equalizers. I'm eventually going to toss these equalizers for DBX, you get what you pay for as they say, buy the best if you can.
