Stereo Vintage EQ & Compressor With Added CRUSH
Taking inspiration from the legendary ‘Motown EQ’, the MQ-2 is a stereo, 7 band proportional Q Equaliser with EQ curves akin to the renowned EQ’s used in the illustrious Detroit studios in the 1960’s.
However, the MQ-2 is not only an EQ, it also incorporates an effortless to use one knob compressor as well as added Crush harmonics to tame and add warmth to your audio.
This 100% analogue EQ, features 7 bell curves, each having a variable cut/boost of ±10dB and set at the beautifully musical frequencies of the original.
The one knob compressor is incredibly simple to use. Being programme dependant it will adapt the attack and release characteristics to the signal and alter the envelope to suit to tame the audio. In addition, it has an influence on the Crush feature - the more compression you use the more of the Crush effect you will get.
The EQ and compressor order can be swapped in the signal path to suit your preference.
With clear metering for both the compressor gain reduction and also the stereo output its easy to set the MQ-2 to the optimum levels.
