Mastering-Grade Precision
Experience unparalleled audio quality with two independent channels of all-tube equalization, ensuring precise and repeatable adjustments for mastering professionals.
KEY FEATURES
The AudioScape MEQ‑2A Stereo Tube Midrange Equaliser Mastering Edition is a 2U rack‑mount unit that delivers two independent channels of inductor‑based, all‑tube equalisation, featuring stepped‑switch controls for precise, repeatable mastering adjustments.
Classic Design, Mastering‑Grade Precision
AudioScape retains the revered MEQ‑A circuit while upgrading the control interface for mastering professionals. Each channel provides two “Peak” sections (low‑mid 200 Hz–1 kHz, high‑mid 1.5 kHz–5 kHz) and a central “Dip” section that attenates 200 Hz–7 kHz. Engineers equip the “Peak” sections with five selectable centre frequencies and the “Dip” section with eleven options, granting twenty‑one tonal possibilities per channel.
Premium Components, Hand‑Crafted Quality
The chassis houses a vented steel case finished in battleship‑grey, echoing the original aesthetic. AudioScape populates the signal path with new‑old‑stock (NOS) vacuum tubes and period‑correct carbon‑composition resistors, preserving the warm, forgiving character of vintage gear. Custom‑wound inductors and input/output transformers replicate the original designs, while a high‑quality toroidal power supply ensures stable operation and long‑term reliability.
Stepped‑Switch Controls for Exact Recall
The Mastering Edition replaces rotary knobs with 22‑position stepped switches on each of the three gain controls. This layout enables engineers to set, store and instantly recall exact EQ settings throughout demanding mastering sessions, eliminating guesswork and improving workflow efficiency.
Stereo Architecture Optimised for Mixing and Mastering
By delivering identical circuitry in both left and right channels, the MEQ‑2A excels on mix buses and mastering chains. Its single‑ended tube line‑amp adds harmonic richness, enhancing electric guitars, background vocals and any mid‑range‑rich source. Even extreme boosts retain musicality, avoiding the harshness typical of solid‑state alternatives.
Complementary Pairing Potential
AudioScape designs the MEQ‑2A to integrate seamlessly with the EQP series. Pairing the unit with an EQP‑2A expands the system to five inductor‑based bands across the full audible spectrum, plus two tube makeup‑gain stages, delivering unrivalled tonal control within a compact rack footprint.
