add equalizer "pro" to my mc275 ?

[mati1979]

Hi, im using mc275 directly to my dac benchmark.
Can i add btween mc275-dac any equ "pro" ?
any ashly for example. I would like to play some frequencies.

yes you can what preamp do you use?

not pre.
directly mc275 - dac benchmark by xlr.

Matias.......Although theoretically installing the EQ between the Benchmark DAC and the MC275 power amplifier will work, you will have to be careful with any boost of frequencies because it will increase the output voltage of the equalizer. This can overdrive the input on the MC275 which will push the amplifier's output, possible into a state of clipping the signal. Ideally you want the EQ's output voltage to be equal to the output voltage of the DAC, which is why most equalizers are introduced into a signal path like a tape loop or signal processor loop in a preamplifier, instead of the EQ being placed in the variable output that feeds an amplifier directly. Cutting frequency ranges is not a problem, but booting frequency ranges can cause issues and create distortion that can damage speakers. Be extremely judicious with any boosting of frequencies using the EQ between the DAC output and the power amplifier input. I can't tell from your photo, but some EQ's have a gain control, often used with a pair of LED's that allow for adjusting the EQ output for unity gain with the DAC's voltage level output. I would hope your EQ has this function.
