Not too much information exists online regarding this amplifier equalizer combo, but I did find a web page add from early 1999, and a photocopy of a simple diagram for installing the hardware. I have also included a custom audio cable with a standard 3.5mm stereo audio plug that goes directly into the line out / speaker out on your soundcard. Features: NEC 25 watt drive bay amplifier NEC 5 band equalizer with slide type controls Equalizer has 4 channels, 6 watts RMS per channel Volume, Fade and Balance controls Built in subwoofer output Controls up to 4 speakers and 1 subwoofer Headphone jack on front panel of Amplifier / Equalizer The control panel is pretty straightforward.

The Plus and Minus keys control the output levels for each of the 10 options listed above. There are 12 LEDs on the front panel above each one of the options. This very rare piece of hardware is perfect for a period correct new old stock windows 98 PC build, but with no special drivers, software or hardware limitations, this amplifier / equalizer combo can be used with any pc that has a soundcard, an open 5.25" drive bay, and one open slot on the back panel for the Amplifier / Equalizer's rear mounting bracket. I purchased a lot of 7 of these new old stock units years ago and have kept them in a sealed container inside of a temperature controlled storage unit ever since. The only "wear" on the devices seems to be normal oxidation on the RF shielding, which is to be expected after 25 years. There are also numbers written on the RF shield, which look like they are most likely from a quality control inspection. The original OEM kits included a pair of speakers, and from what I understand, the original owner bought a bunch of kits in order to combine matching speakers, and ended up with a bunch of extra unused amplifier / equalizer units. You will be purchasing one of the six wrapped, New Old Stock units in pic #24, with cables included, plus one custom 3.5mm audio cable, as well as a copy of the installation instructions and a copy of the internet sales ad from 1999. The pc in pictures #7-21 is not included. I also have 6 new old stock period correct subwoofers for PCs, and numerous sets of period correct studio monitor speakers if you are looking for a complete period correct 5 speaker package as well. Check my other listings or message me any time with any questions you may have. Due to the very rare, irreplaceable nature of these items, I will be using more than adequate packing materials, as well as purchasing shipping insurance to ensure safe delivery of your purchase. Thank you for your interest.
