Anyone using a KT DN9340? Not the DN9340e. Ive found one for a very nice price and while it may be overkill for my rig I like the feature set. My original plan was to have a KT DN410 parametric EQ and have a KT DN360 graphic available as well. This will do both graphic and parametric as well as a few other options. The DN9340 would be cheaper than the other two combined as well (all used).

For the Users, Is there anything that you really like, or really dislike about the unit? Any opinions or thoughts? It my eyes its a very formidable EQ for those of us that havent gone digital yet, and at the price of a normal high end graphic its hard to pass up.

No dislikes at all - and you can control DN9344 from it via RS485 (as well as via Elgar software from KT website) 8)~:cool:~:cool:.
Like on any other product, upgrate/update the units firmwar as well as computer software to the latest version an you'll be a happy camper :D~:-D~:grin: !

...and you'll like their dynamic EQs 8)~:cool:~:cool:

I've found that no matter how I calibrate the touchstrip I get the frequency either side of it. So I am used to using the knobs on the right instead.

Next, when using the 9344 as well, you need to push the comms/setup button to bring up the menu which allows you to choose which device you want to control - in the case of 9344's they appear as 2 devices in the list. HOWEVER, if you hold that comms/setup button down too long you go into the setup menu which wants to discover which units are connected. So quick pushes only !

The 9340 has a nice screen showing the overall frequency response of all the combined options - filters, parametrics and graphics. I suspect most of the features are similar to those on other digital eq's.

In terms of use, i'm used to it and can do things fairly quickly. Eg to add a parametric filter with a narrow q at 3K you would:

Ensure you're on the right channel
Press Parametric button.
Add button.
Use freq knob to move to 3K
Use gain knob to taste
Use Q knob to taste

To remove para's is fairly straightforward - from memory something like menu button, remove, then you need to turn two knobs in sequence (remove, are you sure) and then keep doing the 2 knobs to remove all. There may be a remove all feature that i've not bothered to find ?

Graphics has a freq flat option - I tend not to use the graphics though with the power of the parametrics.

Lastly I loooove when i'm not actually using the eq 'cause of no need but signal is running through it.. and then I ask people what happens if I turn it off ? And then I do.
