Thanks, some of us still like messing around in the Old World before Columbus discovered SINAD
For that you need something with a tad more capability, such as... which also accepts analog inputs. Expect to pay accordingly!

A lot of entry level pro-oriented gear looks similar. Probably the same factory making 'on demand' products for companies who then slap their name on the front. I don't know that for a fact, but it would surprise me if it wasn't the case.That looks very similar to the Rane GE60 I measured:
I would doubt that. DBX is a 50 years old company, stuff like that has been around forever, of course the manufacturing might be outsourced to save cost. But I'd be surprised there is any benefit for them to use an OEM design. The development cost for this is zero it's been paid for decades ago, they sold hundreds of thousands of similar units where the only changes in design is probably about cost optimisation and some performance small tweaks. When you own all this intelligence in house I don't see why you would go and ask a third party to create one for you. Again manufacturing is an other story but I'm 98% sure this design is theirs. Now... I couldn't say the same of Behringer.A lot of entry level pro-oriented gear looks similar.

My dbx EQ is made in China. Don't know where this one is made. But I think we can expect that Samsung is going to make their gear wherever it's cheapest to make it. Everywhere but where you'd expect it to be made, historically. Let's face it, it's not like JBL is churning out studio monitors in their LA woodworking shop, anymore!I would doubt that.

I have no doubt it's made in China and I have no doubt some factories do similar products for many brands. But it's manufacturing, as you said, it's made according to each brands specifications. It's not has you said just slapping a Logo on something created by someone else. what is "specifications"? It's a BOM, gerbers and Industrial Drawings. My point is why have someone else decide for those when you have them already. The factory will not say "Those files you sent us we won't make them, we want to use our own files" Why would that be? OEM is a different thing, you actually have to pay extra because it would cost you more to develop the product yourself you use someone design, there's a premium for this, but that premium is worth it because the royalties you pay are much cheaper than creating a product from scratch.My dbx EQ is made in China.

I'd guess Harman chooses whatever the OEM factory can supply, at whatever price point they are willing to pay. "You want this feature, and not that feature? Then we can make it for you for X dollars (or however payment is made)." There's no reason the same factory can't make similar gear for different brands, and all the reasons in the world they will.
It's that way for guitars. Most of Asian sourced guitars are made by a small number of factories, to each brand's specifications. There are some exceptions: Gibson/Epiphone have their own factory in Qingdao. But lower end PRS, Ibanez, Fender and many others, just outsource to Cor Tec, Samik et al. I have a Schecter that is made in China, somewhere, which BTW is one of my favorite playing guitars.
What matters is not where it's made, but how it is made.

Many digital consoles can do this.Something like this but with motorized potentiometers for resetting and restoring saved EQ profiles would be a pretty cool toy.
The X32 operates exactly like the M32, it's the same firmware.Many digital consoles can do this.
i think even the x32 dose it.
Hiss is a broadband noise that spans the entire audible spectrum but with more intensity in the high frequencies. The cause of hiss noise is the electronic components themselves, referred to as inherent or self noise. There are different noises induced by different components.Why would there be any hiss or hum from this device.? Power supply?
There's a real plane, and there's Flight Simulator.
But how do you do when you fix FR with your EQ? It's fixed frequencies you change with a physical EQ, I mean ...hm are you lucky that where you need to change/ fix FR right there you have an EQ band/slider or....well how do you actually do it?
Edit:
Q values are also fixed, right?By the way, I see that Rja4000 in #8 brings up the same things.
Unfortunately only if you’re using a computer as a source. If you’re not your options are more limited. I use an RME ADI-2 DAC for headphone EQ since I don’t have a computer in my headphone chain, but I’d love it if someone made a dedicated digital-in/digital-out parametric EQ box with a lot of memory slots and more PEQ bands than the RME has.Nice "legacy" product. But, in the digital domain, one can have better "equalizers" for 0.00 $, and without sacrificing space.
While this exists, it will need a computer to operate...Unfortunately only if you’re using a computer as a source. If you’re not your options are more limited.
