Rare Kenwood GE-1000 Trio-Kenwood 12-Band Stereo Graphic Equalizer with

Built-In Time Delay System — Made in Japan (1981–1983)


A highly sought-after piece of vintage Japanese hi-fi engineering. The

Kenwood GE-1000 is celebrated among audiophiles for its precise 24-band

stereo EQ shaping (12 bands per channel, 16Hz–32kHz) and it's one-of-a-kind

Analog Time Delay System — a rare built-in spatial enhancement feature

that adds genuine echo, depth, and reverb to any listening source.

If you've been searching for this unit, you know how seldom it's clean

examples surface.


WHAT MAKES THE GE-1000 SPECIAL

► Analog Time Delay System with adjustable depth and delay — adds

spacious, echo-like reverb effect; not found on standard EQ units

► 24 Total Bands: 12 per channel covering 16Hz, 32Hz, 63Hz, 125Hz,

250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz, 8kHz, 16kHz, 32kHz

► Ultra-low distortion: 0.005% THD — clean, accurate, audiophile-grade

► ±12dB control range per band for surgical audio shaping

► Pro Connectivity: Line input + dual Tape A/B loops with bi-directional

dubbing for vintage tape deck integration

► Multi-voltage capable: 110–120V / 220–240V AC selector

► Illuminated LED slider knobs with classic silver faceplate aesthetic

► Solid metal chassis construction — 17.3" × 5.9" × 13.8"
