Sampling frequencies supported are 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe impressive list of features of the EQ1-MK2 is in the EQ1-LP further extended with a linear phase response. This means that the delay introduced by processing is now constant across the whole spectrum, unconstrained by eq settings - this is not the case with standard equalizers, where signal delay varies with frequency, with the length of the delay depending on the amplitude response.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe sound, or character, of an equalizer has been said to be influenced by phase response (for example John Watkinson: ...much of the audible difference between EQs comes down to the phase response., Studio Sound 9.97). The EQ1-LP is therefore the ideal tool for corrective amplitude adjustment, without the unwanted phase distortion added by standard equalizers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe linear phase feature can be turned off, resulting in the exact same sound as the EQ1-MK2. So for creative sound designing, there is the benefit of two different equalizers in one machine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEQ1-DYN, the EQ1-MK2 with four dynamic bands\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time, Weiss Engineering brings an exciting new feature to its EQ palette: dynamic control in the frequency domain.\u003cbr\u003eYou adjust the EQ to a nominal setting. The input signal is then analyzed to determine exactly how much equalization need actually be applied. If the signal is already loud in a certain band, it is not boosted even more. Or, alternatively, if you want to attenuate certain frequencies, these are only attenuated when they exceed a certain level.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMulti-band dynamic?

Setting up the dynamic bands is as easy as setting a linear band. There is just one additional parameter to be adjusted by the user, the threshold control. This makes multi-band dynamic control as easy and as versatile as adjusting a parametric equalizer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEQ1-DYN-LP, Dynamic and Linear Phase EQ in a single unit\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe EQ1-DYN-LP contains both the Dynamic and the Linear Phase EQ programs.

This involves utilizing two of the latest DAC chips on each audio channel, so there is a total of four DAC chips in the unit. Even if the highest quality chips are in use, this solution improves distortion and noise figures compared to using single DAC chips. Several signal re-clocking schemes are combined for extremely high jitter attenuation, making the DAC1 virtually immune to jitter over a very wide bandwidth, down to subsonic frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eDISCRETE CLASS A ANALOG\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC1 MK3 uses no less than eight of Weiss Engineering’s own OP1-BPs, which is likely the best operational amplifier available. The discrete Class A outputs have a virtually zero ohms output impedance but are still able to drive large loads without stability problems. Output levels can be set between −infinity and +27 dBu. The outputs are symmetrical but do not employ any sound degrading servo mechanisms. For asymmetrical operation, only one leg of the XLR connector (plus ground) is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eDIGITAL INPUTS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn its standard configuration, the DAC1 has three stereo AES\/EBU inputs on XLR connectors, and one on optical TOSLINK. The inputs are switchable from the front panel, allowing for easy switching between digital sound sources. Each XLR input is actively routed to a corresponding XLR digital output, allowing for monitoring at multiple stages in a digital studio setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eAPPLICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC1 is commonly used as the first step in a studio’s monitoring chain — feeding the studio speakers an analog output that accurately represents the audio on the digital medium. It is also common to use the DAC1 for incorporating analog equipment into an otherwise digital signal chain when mixing or mastering audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_5\"\u003eDAC1 MK2 VS MK3\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the DAC1 MK3 is a superior design from a technical standpoint, some users subjectively prefer the sound of the DAC1 MK2. Therefore, we continue to offer the MK2 version. Any previous DAC1 version can be upgraded to MK3. The output gain trimming also works differently between the two versions, with the MK3 being somewhat easier to set.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_6\"\u003eCONTROLS AND METERS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe front panel has four switches for selecting which of the four digital inputs is currently active. It also has LEDs for displaying sampling frequency, input word length, and signal presence. The DAC1 MK3 has a single output level trim knob on the back that controls both output channels (L\/R) simultaneously in 1 dB increments. The DAC1 MK2 has an output level range switch (hi\/lo) and two 25-turn trim potentiometers on the front for fine trimming the L\/R output levels. Both versions can be remote controlled with a wired controller connected to the unit’s 15-pin DSUB connectors. This allows for remote control of the output level and input switching. In addition, the units can be configured to accept IR remote control for wireless adjustment of the output level.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weiss Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449543290983,"sku":"21155","price":16014.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/weiss-engeineering-dac1-mk3_21155_1_40a0d2f0-2697-4289-94fb-da8e5c3c4abe.jpg?v=1787089388"},{"product_id":"weiss-ds-1-1314-used","title":"Weiss DS-1 #1314 (Used)","description":"Very clean example of this unit.
