Let's talk EQ's.
I think I would like to add a graphic eq to my rack. I picked up a small mixer (Yamaha MG10/2) to use with my new SAX360's, but it doesn't have sweepable mids and the eq is not all that great anyway. I would like to be able to hone in on one basic eq curve for the speakers (to be tweaked as necessary) and leave the individual channel eq's for the each keyboard/module.
Having googled the subject - I am thinking that the Ashly stereo 15 band graphic eq might be a good bet for this application. I would like to keep it to one rack space if possible, but would consider alternatives....
Also - any other SXA360 owners want to chime it with what you feel necessary to even out the response a bit?

I'd say that Ashly generally makes a quality product. Do you run mono or stereo? In either case, I would suggest that you go with a 31 band eq (1/3 octave)instead of a 15 band. If you run in stereo you would need a 2 space EQ in order to accommodate a dual 31 band EQ. You would have a lot more control and a 31 band EQ would handle pretty much any room you play.

I've thought of something like this in the past and a digital unit with memories would be so much more practical I reckon.

This'll do ya (and it'll save a rack space over a dual 31-band EQ):

Another option would be something like this.
1/3 octave, programmable, and takes up 1 rack space

I have a 1-rack space dbx like Nzark and I like it - quiet & does the job.

I guess I haven't been checking on single space 31 band EQ's lately. 
DBX has some good gear, as does Ashley.
