A total of 32 graphic EQs were put through their paces but the ASP231 captured the attention of the entire panel, which described it as "very smooth and clean" and rated it as a top contender in a 'most gain before feedback with minimal EQ' test, performed with a mic and a wedge monitor.
The competition was the brainchild of Michael 'Bink' Knowles and Michael Allen, who were instrumental in coordinating the day, which drew the attention of the entire community of sound engineers and technicians that regularly visit the Live Audio Board (LAB) on the popular www.live-audio.com website.
The online results concluded that: "The Audient EQ was one of the stand-out performers at the GEQ Shootout with great precision bench specs and was very light in weight. Big blue buttons are easy to grab and the lighted strip of numbers between channels makes for better visibility. Asymmetrical narrow cut mode proved most useful for cutting individual feedback modes without cutting sound power."
