Review on ART EQ341 Channel Graphic Equalizer by Michael Rosario

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great addition and good quality.

I replaced a 40 year old HiFi EQ with an EQ341. It arrived with a bent post ear, but that was easily fixed with a vise and two small pieces of plywood to protect the fairing. Annoyingly, the styrofoam pieces that support the device in the box were in perfect condition, meaning the damage happened at the factory. But back to the functions. This unit is light years ahead of my old EQ. The old one had 10 tapes per channel; ART has 15. It was immediately much easier for me to create a usable response curve. I have significant hearing loss and wear hearing aids. They're optimized for voice but terrible for TV. I use the Zone 2 output on my Denon home theater amplifier and route it to an ART EQ and then to my wireless headphones. TV has never sounded so good! I installed the feet on the airflow unit and placed it next to the other components and it looks very nice despite being designed for rack mounting. When researching the ART 341 on their website, I found that the model has the same build quality as the ART EQ 355 '31 Band'. This is a quality product. I will update this review if anything changes.
