I Need A Graphic EQ, But Can I Use One On This Amplifier?

[N Gauge England -Synthematix-]

Hello again folks, quick question:

 

I have a SONY STR-DB940 amplifier that has "TAPE IN & TAPE OUT" sockets, now could i possibly use an EQ/Spectrum Analyzer with it?

 

Many thanks.

If your receiver has a pre-amp output then you can use that. Otherwise I think you need to connect the tape out of the amp to the input of the graphic equaliser and the output of the graphic equaliser to the tape in on the amp.

But I think you might need a tape monitor function on the receiver for that to work?

Thats what i was wondering, I dont have a tape deck but would like to change the sound with an EQ system wide, ie: minidisc and cd player

Yea I had a read through the manual and I couldn’t find Tape Monitor or similar function.

Funnily enough I was just doing the same and couldn't find one either.

 

The receiver itself does have an inbuilt equaliser. Not sure if that might achieve what @N Gauge England -Synthematix- is looking for?

It's inbuilt EQ is pretty good, just wanted an EQ with some visual feedback really
