Maag Audio Launches EQ2 – 500 Series 2 Band Equalizer

Sometimes two bands are better than six.

That’s what Maag Audio is thinking, with the introduction of its EQ2 for the 500 series format, a new one-channel two-band EQ that follows up Cliff Maag’s six-band EQ4.

The EQ2 should be ideal for tracking, among other functions.

There’s plenty of yummy-sounding circuitry in Maag Audio’s latest, which is available now for a street price of $599. Read on for more details from the good people of Maag Audio:

The EQ2 is a no compromise one channel 2 band equalizer with AIR BAND, Low Mid Frequency (LMF) bell boost from SUB to 1.4 kHz, and an INPUT ATTN to control down to –12.5 dB of attenuation. The EQ2’s AIR BAND is equipped with an additional sassy frequency selection @ 15 kHz, making the EQ2 hard to resist in any situation. The LMF provides both tight or wide bell curve options to dial in the perfect amount of warmth on the 2-bus. When it comes to tracking, the EQ2 will quickly become your favorite preamps’ “better half” by controlling the input (INPUT ATTN) (great for correcting over driven mic preamp transformers) before eq’ing with the versatile AIR BAND and LMF. The EQ2 is compatible with the API 500-6B lunchbox and 500VPR rack systems and any other 500 Series spec rack.

Following its EQ4 predecessor, the EQ2 provides unparalleled transparency and top end presence with the same high quality components found in the powerhouse 6 band EQ4. EQ adjustments are obtained with minimal phase shift and detent controls allow for easy recallable settings, even on the INPUT ATTN.
