Alesis EQ-230

Almost nothing is documented about the Alesis EQ-230. No specifications, production years, or original price have turned up in any of the usual sources - service literature, period dealer listings, or Alesis's own archives from the early 1990s. Nobody can say whether it was a graphic equalizer, a parametric unit, or something else entirely.

There is one possible clue. A 1991 issue of DB Magazine (September 1991, p.59) listed an "Alesis Studio Electronics MEQ-230 Precision Equalizer" - a dual 30-band, 1/3-octave graphic EQ in a single rack space. It had ¼-inch and RCA jacks, center frequencies from 25 Hz to 20 kHz, 12 dB cut/boost per band, and a price of $249. "MEQ-230" is close enough to "EQ-230" that these may be the same model, but no source explicitly connects the two. Until someone confirms the link, the EQ-230 is a name with no verified form.

If you own an Alesis EQ-230 or have documentation that clears up its identity, the Archive would welcome a note.
