Great unit, great value

This has everything I need in a graphic EQ, and nothing I don't (but unused Euroblock connections). Excellent dynamic range-S/N Ratio; has plenty of voltage to drive anything. The Extended Cut is great for tuning out peaks in speaker/room response w/o destroying the rest of the mix. Hi & Lo Trim is useful, and variable HPF is good but I wish it were 18dB or more slope. The Peak Hold meters work well. Decent internal parts too.

Sliders are a bit stiff at first, but that's probably normal. The blue LED's are brighter than the others but to dim them just cover with tape. Other gripes: the hash marks for level increments are gray and somewhat hard to see; no rubber feet are supplied for stacking so it slides if not rack-mounted.

Overall, a very good design and great sound in real-world use. If this were a Rane or Ashly, it'd cost 2x as much!

I put this GEQ on my monitor mixes and spent 10 or 15 minutes ringing out the stage, and it has made a huge difference in my stage monitor volume before feedback. The chassis feels sturdy and the faders do not get bumped out of position easily. I wish the pot knobs had center detents, and the blue LEDs for enhanced cut mode are way too bright; but overall I am very happy with my investment in the XL231.
