[. . . ] Professional Audio Products Data Sheet FME 15 microGRAPHIC EQUALIZER FME 15 microGraphic Equalizer General Description The Rane Model FME 15 microGraphic Equalizer is a single channel, 2/3 octave graphic equalizer. Representing a third-generation evolution of Rane's pioneering constant-Q approach to equalization--now the standard of the industry--the FME 15 features the very best. [. . . ] The ±12dB mode provides a wide range of control over system audio. Front panel controls include separate GAIN controls for input and output levels as well as an Overload indicator monitoring all critical nodes. Separate Input and Output GAIN controls allow maximizing of headroom at all times. A passive BYPASS switch with indicator allows for easy A-B comparison of results or signal restoration in the event of power loss or unit failure. And the rear of the unit provides balanced 3-pin, ¼" TRS and #6 terminal strip connectors, as well as a convenient ¼" TRS Patch Input/Output. This patch input allows connection to a standard insert loop jack with a single stereo patch cord.

No compromises or trade-offs exist in selecting an FME 15 microGraphic. All circuitry, components and specifications meet or exceed the GE 30. Only the slider throw is different, plus you gain a RANGE switch to help extend the usable travel if modest boost/cut amounts are needed. This model exists for people requiring the very best equalizer possible in the smallest space allowable. Interpolating constant-Q graphic equalizers arose from the sound professional's need for greater control with less interaction than previously possible with conventional equalizers.
