Question for Factory

[oldbluebassman]

Please can you tell me what the centre frequencies are for the Low-Mid and High-Mid controls on the Bongo?

Same Question only for a Stingray 5

Good question. Unfortunately, I don't have the answer. But it did bring to mind this question:

What are the frequencies for the Bass, Mid, and Treble controls for a Stingray 5?

Thanks,

backagain1

 

[oldbluebassman]

That's another good question that I would like the answer to please.

Classified!

 

[oldbluebassman]

I sincerely hope not. If other preamps manufacturers can publish this very basic data the EB should as well.

From the EB FAQ page:
------------------
Q: What is the frequency range of the 3 band EQ?

A: Our 3 band basses use a standard baxandall circuit centered appx. 500hz. Frequency slope is 6 db per octave. With bass control in max position, max output will occur at 40hz and drop at 6db per octave above 40hz. Maximum treble response drops at 6 db per octave at frequencies below appx.12 khz. Mid range is centered appx.500 hz. Control settings are interactive, therefore 6 db per octave slope only occurs when one control is in maximum position and the two remaining controls are set to minimum.

Google "Baxandall Circuit" for even more fun!!

However the Bongo has a 4-band EQ with 2 mids.......

Newtley gets a star on his forehead, class dismissed!

 

[newtley]

yabbutt.. someone else axed about the 3-band..dunno the answer to the bongo q. I do, however, know lots of other weird stuff. Some useful; some not.

 

[jongitarz]

I would email customer service for that info. I have no idea, and the folks who know dont frequent the forums.

 

[oldbluebassman]

Thanks Jon. Will do.

 

[Psychicpet]

Please inform the rest of us if and when you do find out, that'd be some good info (and if they have any insight as to whether or not it's a wide Q for the bass and treble and narrower Qs for the mids...)

 

[Disquieter]

I would assume that the two mid controls on the bongo are something similar to a mid level and a mid freq control, so it's a variable control as opposed to a set frequency.


this would make sense to me given the ammount of tones available from just the 2 knob.

actually they are 2 seperately voiced fixed mid frequencies on the Bongo pre.

 

[oldbluebassman]

Well still no reply to email to Customer Service!!!!

 

[Dargin]

As soon as I get the results I will answer your e-mail. The lead designer has many projects on his plate right now, and he will get to it as soon as possible.

Thank you Scott

Now that's what I call customer service. A response on a Saturday.

Well done again EB.

 

[oldbluebassman]

Just received an answer from Scott.

The center frequencies of the Bongo are:

Bass = 40 Hz
Low Mid = 400 Hz
High Mid = 2.5KHz
Treble = 6.3KHz

Now You've gone and done it. Those were classified. I told you. Now they are going to have to terminate you. Don't go to sleep!
