Analogue EQ has
always been the cornerstone of the Klark
Teknik range, and the DN410 is widely regarded
as among the very best analogue parametric equalizers
money can buy. Built to the usual
uncompromising Klark Teknik standards, the
DN410 is a dual channel, two rackspace device.
It features five
filters per channel, and unlike many apparently
similar units, all bands are fully
configurable between 20Hz and 20kHz. Each
filter offers cut and boost of 25dB and
+15dB respectively, with available bandwidth
settings of 1/12th to 2 octaves.
Further, the DN410
may be configured (via a front panel switch)
to be a single channel of ten filters if
required. It is fitted with high and low pass
filters for each channel, and signal relays
which ensure that audio signal reaches the
outputs even in the event of power loss. All
filters are individually switched in and out
of circuit, plus an overall channel bypass
switch is fitted.
DN410s are found in
many applications, but most commonly in
theatre or AV situations where omnidirectional
lavalier or lectern microphones are used.
