Ten ISO-standard bands per channel from 31.5 Hz to 16 kHz at ±12 dB, with separate left and right sliders and switchable VU metering. Filters at 31.5 Hz and 16 kHz roll off rumble and ultrasonic noise without touching the audible band, and an EQ defeat switch lets you A/B against flat.

Yamaha Q2031 Dual 31-Band Graphic Equalizer – Made in Japan, 2U
Thirty-one bands per channel on ISO third-octave centres, 20Hz to 20kHz, on two fully independent channels — fine enough to pull a single room mode down without touching what sits either side of it. A range switch halves boost and cut to ±6dB for careful work, and the high-pass filters sweep from 20 to 200Hz. Balanced XLR and 1/4-inch throughout, 2U rack. Condition good.
