Section One: Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Sabine Graphi-Q2. This product represents our latest

breakthrough in our never-ending quest to improve the world’s sound.

Aside from the powerful array of features packed into a single unit (graphic EQ, FBX filters, parametric

filters, high and low cut filters, delay, compression, and limiting), the Graphi-Q2 also offers a choice of

user interfaces.

Computer control: learn to love it. As the world becomes an increasingly digital place, the computer

is omnipresent. Some regard this as a mixed blessing. In audio applications, the downside of computer-

controlled digital audio stems from the unfamiliarity and operational limitations of its control interface.

After years of experience with analog controls, many sound engineers prefer the “hands-on” approach

to control audio with knobs and faders. It’s intuitive and direct. To the analog lover, typing commands

on a keyboard feels awkward and may require redirecting one’s attention to the control interface, rather

than the sound emerging from the speakers.

On the other hand, there is no question that the digital signal processing available through a computer

interface offers improved precision and reliability of control over your audio. Equalization adjustments

in the digital realm are exceptionally accurate, offer pinpoint resolution, and minimize phase distortion

and frequency drift. Compressor parameters not only can be set quite precisely, but also offer an

expanded range of adjustment and ease of storage and recall that are much more difficult to achieve

with analog technology. And, with the Sabine FBX algorithm, one of the most serious problems of audio

amplification — that lovely howling sound we call feedback — can be removed with the precision and

delicacy of laser surgery.

Analog AND Digital - Best of Both Worlds. The Graphi-Q2 combines the best of both worlds. If you

need to put your hands on faders and knobs to fully experience audio, we offer you the ease and comfort

of our “analog-style” front panel. Push, pull, turn, and tweak to your heart’s content!

If your fingers naturally gravitate toward computer keyboards, the Graphi-Q2 offers your kind of user

interface as well. Each Graphi-Q2 comes equipped with an RS-232 serial interface and the Sabine

Graphi-Q2 Remote for Windows

software. All the front panel controls, and some important additional

ones, can be adjusted from your computer keyboard. And if you’re seriously addicted to the thrill of

punching keys, you can save some money as you indulge yourself with a Graphi-Q2 Blank Front Panel

Slave unit. Only controllable via computer, these models make mis-adjustment by unauthorized,

untrained, or unthinking individuals impossible!

Whatever your control preference, the Graphi-Q2 opens up a world of signal processing power

previously unavailable at its exceptional price. All specifications are top notch (24-bit A/D and D/A, 32-

bit internal processing) and all of its functions operate concurrently and ergonomically. So allow us to

suggest you read and study this entire manual to understand the whole story. Enjoy!
