Engineers equip each channel with two “Peak” controls (low‑mid 200 Hz–1 kHz, high‑mid 1.5 kHz–5 kHz) and a central “Dip” control that cuts 200 Hz–7 kHz. The “Peak” sections offer five selectable centre frequencies; the “Dip” section provides eleven options, giving users twenty‑one tonal possibilities per channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePremium Components, Hand‑Crafted Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chassis houses a vented steel case finished in battleship‑grey, mirroring the historic aesthetic. Inside, the unit employs only new‑old‑stock (NOS) vacuum tubes and period‑correct carbon‑composition resistors, ensuring the warm, forgiving character that defines tube gear. Custom‑wound inductors and input\/output transformers replicate the original designs, while a high‑quality toroidal power supply guarantees stability and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStandard and Mastering Editions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudioScape releases the MEQ‑2A in two configurations. The Standard edition supplies rotary gain controls for quick adjustments. The Mastering edition replaces these rotaries with 22‑position stepped switches, allowing engineers to recall precise settings during critical sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStereo Architecture for Mixing and Mastering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 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. Engineers report that even extreme boosts retain musicality, avoiding the harshness typical of solid‑state alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eComplementary Pairing Potential\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MEQ‑2A integrates seamlessly with AudioScape’s EQP series. When paired with an EQP‑2A, the combined system offers five inductor‑based bands across the full audible spectrum, plus two tube makeup‑gain stages, delivering unparalleled tonal control in a compact rack footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose the MEQ‑2A Stereo Tube Midrange Equaliser\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthentic tube warmth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– NOS tubes and carbon‑composition resistors preserve classic sonic character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual‑channel flexibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Independent control of left and right channels streamlines stereo processing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision mastering option\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Stepped switches in the Mastering edition guarantee repeatable settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRobust construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Vented steel chassis and toroidal power supply ensure durability for demanding studios.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Works flawlessly with EQP units for full‑spectrum equalisation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"One Louder Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56895605277055,"sku":"ITM011191","price":1707.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/4915\/9716\/files\/MEQ-2A_NEW.jpg?v=1770381409","url":"https:\/\/kmraudio.com\/products\/audioscape-meq-2a-stereo-tube-eq","provider":"KMR Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
