First and foremost what follows are the actual dimensions: Width: 16 9/10", Depth: 9 1/16", Height: 3 9/16" maximum. 19" is a total untruth. Much of the rest of the machine is a bunch of BS as well: the "spectrum analyzer" is little more than a light show displaying no useful audio information; 21 sliders per channel, where-as certainly looking impressive in fact provides no perceivably better sonic control than a 10 slider per channel unit, it just makes for more work; buttons must be reset each time you turn the unit on; too bright - no way to dim the LEDs on the sliders; 3 prong plug makes integrating into system more difficult - a 79 cent adapter works OK for me. I could go on with faults but I won't because it's essentially a cheap product and you get what you pay for. But as a graphic equalizer it does exactly what it's supposed to do. I have my Rockville set up in my bedroom system where it makes my small Polk Audio bookshelf speakers sound like large Polk Audio bookshelf speakers and oh so fine. Be careful, and subtle with your sliders and with this machine you can do the same. Read full review

First of all, your expectations have to be in line with the price. The slider controls for each frequency band are a bit fiddly. The spectrum analyzer is nothing more than a static image of bars that move with the sound signal in the fashion of a combined channel VU meter (not true spectrum analyzer). I purchased it for the ability to record to a cassette deck by utilizing the secondary equalizer output on the back of this unit. I have this secondary output connected to a passive preamplifier (glorified signal switch) and I have two cassette decks and a secondary CD player connected to the passive preamplifier. This unit is very light, but all the fit and finish are clean and as designed. My unit remembers what the last source you selected before powering it down (if you select tape, power down the unit, it will be on tape at start up again). Overall, for the price, I think this is a good value. You can purchased a used equalizer, but you will have to deal with the 30+ years of deterioration. Maybe worth the risk???? Maybe not.Read full review

Amazing sound upgrade with 21 levels of adjustment for your liking for what you want to hear coming from your speakers. Can't beat the price either. I purchased another brand for my lil system at work that is the same one just a different name for about $50 more. Wish I would have seen this one first to save that $50. This eq will not disappoint you.

Purchased in November 2022, and now it has a crackling sound in the left channel. Checked all speaker and RCA connections (one brand new one) and everything was good to go. Took this EQ out of the loop and no more crackling noises. Had hoped this would last as I like to adjust frequencies to make the music sound better for my ears. This is a first for me as I have purchased lots of items here and elsewhere and have been able to leave four star reviews, but only lasting two months and having problems is to me a horrible product. PS: as another reviewer mentioned, this does not have a spectrum analyzer, but is pretty much a DB meter.

It's a 21 band equalizer, it does that. Gave it three stars because 1. the spectrum analyzer looks more for show than anything else 2. There is no way to stop the spectrum analyzer from continually cycling through it's display modes 3. As every one else says, the blue leds on the slider controls are WAY, WAY too bright
