A Legendary Midrange Equaliser
The MEQ-A Midrange Equalizer is rooted in history, drawing inspiration from the iconic tube equalizers found in renowned mastering rooms. Its design focuses on the most pivotal range for human hearing, ensuring that every adjustment made to the midrange frequencies breathes new life into tracks. By enhancing the 200Hz to 7kHz range, it imparts a warmth and smoothness that makes the audio more inviting, whether subtly enhancing clarity or adding richness to the mix.
