Dennie Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Well, I downloaded the manual and you're in luck. You have "pre-outs" so... Yes, you can add an EQ! [<)] Which one are you looking at adding? Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 On that unit, you can connect the EQ on the tape monitor loop (I.E. Tape in and Tape out REC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 You may be disappointed with what you hear. Some EQs have a bad effect on the clarity of the sound. I had an EQ connected to my 1970s receiver, but when I hooked it up to a 1998 receiver, it had a sort of dulling effect on the sound, so it became less clear. After a week or two of listening, I disconnected it. My original reason to add the EQ was to boost the bass on my old speakers, but that's not a great idea anyway. I later added a sub, which gave me the bass I was looking for, and then I used the EQ in the line to the sub, to help fix some dips and peaks in the low bass area, where the dulling is much harder to notice.

biglaz Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 I want to use an older ADC eq that has been gone through and now works perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vnzbd Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I am considering adding an eq as well. I run an external amp and will install the eq between the amp and receiver/pre-amp. This way it will only eq the the fronts. I would expect if you use the tape loops it will eq an channels if you are using a surround sound format. The eq could always be put into by-pass for that.
