AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I propose, from my personal collection, a splendid equalizer from the famous Japanese brand TECHNICS, model SH-8020, in silver. The Technics SH-8020 is an iconic stereo 12-band graphic equalizer per channel for high-fidelity, produced in Japan by Technics between 1980 and 1983. It is regarded as a vintage component of great quality, sought after by enthusiasts for its acoustic performance and the characteristic illuminated sliders.
Main Technical Specifications
- Frequency bands: 12 controls per channel over octave ranges (16 Hz, 31.5 Hz, 63 Hz, 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz, 16 kHz, 32 kHz).
- Control range: Variable and selectable between ±12 dB (for pronounced adjustments) and ±3 dB (for precise micro-adjustments).
- Frequency response: Extremely wide, from 5 Hz to 100 kHz.
- Signal-to-noise ratio (S/N): 100 dB, ensuring a clean sound free of background hiss.
- Total harmonic distortion (THD): Very low, 0.01%.
- Dimensions and weight: 430 x 153 x 244 mm with a total weight of 6 kg.
Key Features and Functions
- Design and illumination: The front panel (available in silver or dark gray/black finish) hosts 24 total sliders. Each control is equipped with an integrated LED that creates a striking visual effect.
- Tape Loop handling: Includes Tape Monitor and duplication functions, allowing you to connect a cassette recorder directly to the equalizer and record the already equalized signal.
- Inversion of the Feature (EQ Reverse): Allows you to invert the set curve with a single button, useful, for example, to compensate for phase issues during recording due to acoustic compression.
It presents in excellent aesthetic, mechanical, clean, and checked condition. (real photos).
Light signs on the upper cover.
Front panel in excellent condition.
The LED lights are very bright and, above all, do not flicker when moving the sliders.
Supplied with its original manual, explanatory sheets for correct connections (3 manuals in different languages) and a schematic diagram sheet.
Difficult to find in these conditions and complete with all of its original manuals.
