MAAG AUDIO / EQ2

This is an API 500-compatible 2-band parametric equalizer equipped with ""AIR BAND"".

■Features

* Dedicated gain control for LMF


* AIR BAND that adds sparkling high frequencies while preserving the original sound


* AIR GAIN control dedicated to AIR BAND


The maag audio EQ2 is a single-channel, two-band equalizer equipped with an API 500 format ""AIR BAND"" (2.5kHz-40kHz shelf boost). In addition to the well-established AIR BAND EQ, it features a frequency-selectable LMF (Low Mid Frequency) boost and a -12.5dB input attenuator, resulting in an uncompromising design.


The EQ2's AIR BAND selectable frequency range now includes 15kHz, which was not present in the company's previous products, the EQ4 and PREQ4. Controlling this special frequency range allows you to effectively utilize the EQ2 in any situation.


The LMF (Low Mid Frequency) offers two bell curves, narrow and wide, adding a pleasant warmth to your mix.

For recording use, even when connected after a heavily driven preamp, the EQ2's input attenuator allows you to adjust the level to suit the EQ, maximizing the effects of the AIR BAND and LMF. It will be the perfect partner for any microphone preamp.

Inheriting the legacy of the highly acclaimed 6-band equalizer EQ4, EQ2 achieves unparalleled transparency and top-end presence. EQ2 further expands the engineer's capabilities by adding a 15kHz point to the AIRBAND.

Phase shifts due to equalization are minimized, and click-type controls on all knobs, including the input attenuator, allow for perfect setting reproduction.
