With balanced I/O for standalone use, new level knobs, and internal enhancements over the original version, the Golden Age Project EQ-73 MKII is a 3-band equalizer that uses vintage-style electronics and Tantalum capacitors in the signal path to deliver classic tonality for musicians, producers, and audio engineers. Its balanced XLR and 1/4" I/O connectors enable traditional operation with professional outboard gear, while its 1/4" TRS insert jack provides unbalanced connectivity for easy insertion into insert jack-equipped Golden Age Project gear or other unbalanced audio equipment.

Built in the style of a classic 1073 EQ module, the EQ-73 MKII's Class-A circuit has stepped frequency controls that reach from 20 Hz to 24 kHz,

a dual inductor-based midrange bell-type band, and shelving filters for the low and high bands. Apply generous gain to each band—the low and mid bands have ±15 dB, while the high band has ±18 dB— and bypass individual bands via the dedicated EQ in/out switches between each band's frequency and gain controls.

Q: 1. How do I delete files from memory card in SJcam 4000?

A: you can also put in card reader usb stick and plug in computer and delete them

Q: 2. Does this camera have a microphone? I assume it does, but it was not included in search results when I selected the mic input feature and I would like to make sure. This is probably a dumb question, but the main reason I want it is to record sets at music festivals and if it didn't have one that would defeat the whole purpose.

A: it does have a built in mic for video recording, but only works without the waterproof case on

Q: 3. Does the SJ4000 have a 'one touch recording' feature? For example, if I am hunting for long periods & want to keep the camera off (to conserve power), is there a feature that allows me to simply press one button to power the camera on & begin recording instantly?

A: No! Unfortunately you need to push and hold the Mode button on the front for about 3 seconds and then wait so in all it takes about 10 seconds before you can push the OK button to begin recording. If you have it connected to an External Power Supply with a 32gig card it will record for 3 and 55mins on fine or the best quality

Q: 4. Does this Cam have motion activation? If so, how long will the battery last?

A: Yes, there is Motion Detection. Start it from the menu and then any motion in front of the camera will be recorded. It also can do interval shooting with a self timer that delays the shutter by 3, 5, 10, 30, or 60 seconds. One battery should last 2-4 hours.

Q: 5. Under the heading Works as a Webcam on your Overview web page it states: The camera is able to stream video through its USB port so that it can function as a webcam when connected to a computer. When I use the USB connection the computer (Windows 7) recognizes the camera as a mass storage device and I can transfer files with no problems. However I've been unable to use it as a webcam. When the camera is connected via USB, how does the computer distinguish between its use as a mass storage device and a webcam? What are the camera settings for use as a webcam? How are the drivers installed on the computer? I've never been prompted to install webcam drivers when I've connected the camera to the computer.

A: Hi Joe, when you plug the camera into the computer there should be a blue prompt window on the camera's screen, asking if you'd like to use the camera as a webcam or if you'd like to use it as mass storage to access your pictures. Until you select that you'd like to use it as a webcam it will act as mass storage by default. Once the camera is in webcam mode, however, any necessary drivers should be installed automatically!

Q: 6. Does de gold mount half work separately from the top half?

Q: 7. How do the preamps with gain cranked up compare to other popular USB mixers at this price point? IE, vs Mackie (non-Onyx) and Behringer Q802.

A: These pre-amps will be in line with the quality that of a Behringer Xenyx mixer. These pre's would pair better with more sensitive signals requiring less gain to avoid noise.

Q: 8. Will this controller work with the SkyWatcher Virtuoso?

A: Unfortunately no. It is not compatible. Sincerely, Garret at Celestron

Q: 9. does it come with a charger and a SIM card so we can video tape?

A: It comes with a cable to charge the battery while in the camera, I purchased a charger separately so I can charge a battery while using the battery is the camera. The camera does not take a SIM card, it takes a micro SD card and must be purchased separately.

Q: 10. Does a 64gb microSD card work with the camera? I currently only have 64gb microSD cards and need to know if I need to buy new cards. I read in the ad that it takes up to 32gb.

A: I never tried to use 64gb, i have 32gb card and it works fine.I think it not support 64gb this is what the sellers in B&H told me when i was purchasing the camera.
