Hi guys, after reading all your comments in the "The needs of EQ", I'm decided to buy EQ. However, now i'm stuck in choosing the right one. I have two options. Either Orion DEQ30 or Audiocontrol EQT. Which one to go???
And another question regarding EQ. As both Orion and Audiocontrol are only 2x30 band, do i need to get 2 EQ so i can run 30 band EQ for each speaker?

What EQ to go??? Orion DEQ30 or Audiocontrol EQT???

I have not dealt with the Orion but I would reccomend the Audiocontrol, I have NEVER had an issue with any of my Audiocontrol processors.

audio control is two separate units. 30 bands each channel. the first generation ones were a bit noisy ( had engine noise issues.) haven't played with the second gen ones.
I had a set of these years ago and they made a HUGE difference to the sound. ( although I had a RTA at the time to set them.)

I think you would be happy with either. The deq has the added advantage of digital in and out so can be used in digital domain. This has obvious advantages if you can go digital or plan to later, regardless of wether you come out analogue or digital.
I use AC and the DEQ but Im not using EQT . Anyway personally I think the DEQ has more flexibilty and wont be out grown but thats not to say the EQT isnt up to the job.

hi brother....i dun think u can get the DEQ30 anymore rite...i have one of this baby before and they are awesome....but i think they started to stop production in around 1998 if i'm not wrong. If u can get one these days then it should be long time ago....
Get the EQT. It look great and work great ! Dun get the 1st generation tho...get the latest one....

Reply to QUICKSIX:
np... i haven't really see the ECLIPSE EQ... and I am no longer in australia... sorry bout tat
Reply to noidea:
if i wasn't wrong, it is still available through the indonesia distributor... i've asked my friend to check it out for me but according to him it is still available... but don't know if it is an old stock... If i'm getting the EQT, i am not planning to display them... i think it might look outta place... sorry i haven't got chance to email you the audio set up... i'll do it sometime around this week...
Lots of tuner in indonesia recommend me to go for ORION... they said it is better and have more flexibility compare to the EQT... and another brand called ALTO... anybody ever heard that brand before???

I'll test both EQs this week... maybe that's the only way to see which EQ is better... I'll let you know what the result is...

Hi mate,
Both units are very good But the Orion has the advantage of easier tuning because it has 4 memories to switch settings. I mainly used it because i wanted my apogee to do the digital to analog conversion . The apogee will only accept a digital signal not analog soo i couldn't listen to the radio but the Orion has a AD converter.

use the best of both worlds - audiocontrol have digital eq's in there current range
maybe a DQS - 6 bands each with 30 bands of equalisation plus 2 parametric bands
http://www.audiocontrol.com/MobileAudio/Pr...igital/DQS.html
or the more standard DQT with only 30 bands
http://www.audiocontrol.com/MobileAudio/Pr...igital/DQT.html
I know the DQT is surprisingly well priced here in australia
