Description from the seller
Pioneer SG 9800
12-band equalizer
In perfect working used condition.
The Pioneer SG-9800 is an iconic and highly sought-after 12-band stereo graphic equalizer, produced between 1979 and 1981. This legendary device is part of the famous and visually distinctive Pioneer "Blue Line" series from the late 70s and early 80s. It is known for its silver front panel and the characteristic, brightly lit LEDs in each individual slider.
Key Features & Operation
• 12 frequency bands per channel: Whereas most standard equalizers have 7 or 10 bands, the SG-9800 divides the audio spectrum into 12 segments per channel (divided into octaves). This provides extremely precise control. The spectrum runs from the deepest sub-bass (16 Hz) to well beyond human hearing in the high frequencies (32 kHz).
• Visual EQ curve: Because each individual slide potentiometer has a built-in LED, you can instantly see in the dark exactly which equalizer curve (sound shaping) is set.
• Tape Monitor functionality: The unit features extensive switching options to apply equalizer adjustments directly during tape recording.
