EQU47 sold out

skylar — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 03:06:55 +0000

The EQU47 mic body is sold out. We are working diligently with our various suppliers on the next production run. One of the things that we try to do here at Equinox Systems is make continual improvements on each production run. This new round being no exception, we are hard at work improving the quality while maintaining the current pricing.

The best way to stay in-the-loop as we make further progress is to sign up to our mailing list.
We will announce future availability to our White Market post at GroupDIY, our facebook page, and our mailing list.

As always, thanks for your support.

Q47-D Certificates

skylar — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 14:42:46 +0000

A question came up about the certificate that accompanies each Q47-D capsule system. Though it may appear that the stack of certificates in the image below are non-unique, bulk printed cards, they definitely are not.

Each certificate is printed with the actual, measured frequency response of the capsule in question. Many companies who have serialized inventory and certificates use either a hand-written or stamped method for marking serial numbers and other product characteristics that may be unique to each unit (such as frequency response or rated power or weight, etc.). Although the cost to us is greater, we decided to have each certificate custom-printed, which reduces the chances of human-error in our process and looks nicer to us.

Here are two cards I pulled at random from each “deck” above…capsules with serial numbers EQ110043 and EQ110207. You can see that even though the curves look very similar, they are unique. The image on the far right is a chart export from EquiLog of these two capsules’ responses overlapped (EQ110043 = blue, EQ110207 = purple). Interestingly, these two capsules are still not a tight enough match for our matched pair tolerance guidelines even though the responses are really quite similar.

Just for kicks, here’s another random pair of certificates. EQ110028 versus EQ110199.
Again, you can see that each certificate is unique.

UPDATE: Here’s a chart export of one of our matched pairs (EQ110172 & EQ110187). There are actually two curves here, though it only looks like one since they’re so closely matched!

EquiLog, an Overview

We have put a ton of work into making sure our Q47-D capsules meet our stringent requirements and that our capsule pairs are computer-matched with incredible accuracy. Here’s a sneak peek at EquiLog, the software we developed which is the heart of these processes.
