work fine for home stereo amp but couldn’t hang with the PA crown amps so i use the pro audio 31 band EQ pic doesn’t show the 31 band EQ it show a dbx but i switch it out for the easy to use 31 band EQ
Conclusion:
way better then expected had several musician and a sound engineer loved the way they cover all the frequencies
