This document provides design and assembly information for the REDD EQ passive EQ PCB, including a bill of materials (BOM) listing the components needed. The REDD EQ circuit is based on classic bass and treble boost/cut circuits from EMI consoles combined with a brilliance boost/cut. Inductor values for some components and manufacturer part numbers are specified. The schematic and PCB layout diagrams are included to assist with assembly.

REDD EQ

Design and Assembly Information

Ian Thompson-Bell

April 2013
Introduction

The REDD EQ is a passive EQ PCB based on the famous bass and treble boost/cut found
in the classic EMI REDD consoles, combined with the 'brilliance' boost/cut provided by the
EMI RS127 passive EQ unit. The bass and treble curves have been designed to closely
follow the Classic curves published in the 'Recording The Beatles' book. The RS127
curves have been designed to match those found by measurement of a software plug-in
which itself is said to be derived from measurements or an original RS127. (Thanks to
Dylan for taking these measurements).

This document provides all the design an assembly information needed to successfully
build an use this PCB.

All the resistors are 0.125W or 0.25W metal film types. All the capacitors are metallised
film types and should be rated at 50V or more. WIMA and Panasonic parts are
recommended. Inductors L1 and L2 are standard Carnhill parts available from Audio
Maintenance. The inductors L3 to L9 are EPCOS B82145A series leaded inductors
available from Farnell as follows:

Inductance Farnell Part No.

The 16 way 0.1inch pitch header J1 is designed to mate with my Lorlin and Grayhill header
PCBs.. You need to use a 2 pole 6 way switch stopped down to 2pole 4 ways.

The three PCB mounted switches are all Grayhills as follows:

S1 and S2: Grayhill 71BDF 30-02-1-AJN (2 pole 12 way)


S3: Grayhill 71BDF 30-01-1-AJN (1 pole 12 way)
The schematic of the REDDEQ is shown above. Although most of the component values
marked on this schematic are correct, the BOM lists the latest values, some of which are
different to those on the schematic.
The PCB layout of the REDDEQ is shown above. The component idents correspond to the
BOM.
