ADM 1540 Equaliser Modules
ADM 1540 Equaliser Modules. $170 each
These modules were manufactured in 1980 by Audio Design Manufacturing.
They are 4 band inductors based reciprocal equalisers with precision switched gain settings and frequency selection.
11 position Grayhill dual concentric switches provide 2, 4, 6, 9 & 12db of boost or cut at the following frequencies.
LF: 40, 80, 100 Hz Shelving
ML: 200, 350, 560, 900 Hz Peak & Dip
MH: 1.5, 2.5, 4.3, 7.2 kHz Peak & Dip
HF: 10, 12.5, 15 kHz Shelving
Require a dual rail 20 volt supply. Rob or Joe Malone (JLM) can rack them up for you or can sell you the power supply to suit if you're into DIY.
Edge connector and schematics included. Mounting frame to hold up to 4 modules supplied if you buy 2 or more modules.
These are nice EQ's from the 80's, engraved face plates, high quality components and built like a tank. Think API or Quad 8.

Re: ADM 1540 Equaliser Modules
and cheap too. You can easily add a tx output if these don't have that option onboard already. Any 600:600 tx will do and you can remove the capacitor output very easily (four solder points).
I've racked several of these over the years, I like them and the switches make recall easy...

Re: ADM 1540 Equaliser Modules
Hi Nick,
you'll have to give me a day or 2. I'm out of town at the moment and will need to go thru the list of who's got what... and what's left.
Should be able to let you know on Thursday.
Thanks
Greg

Re: ADM 1540 Equaliser Modules
Hi Nick,
OK I've got 2 set aside for you.
I'll be coming down to Sydney at the end of May so if you're prepared to wait, I'll drop them in and save you some postage... plus we'll get to meet. That's an added bonus for me as I always seem to miss the TR BBQ's.
So how does that sound?
If you're in a hurry to get them I can post them, should be around $23 fully insured
Anyhow let me know which way you want to go.
Thanks
Greg

Re: ADM 1540 Equaliser Modules
OK, I think everybody has received their EQ's except for Nick & Peat and I'll personally deliver those this week.
That leaves 4 available if anyone else is interested.
Thanks
