Manufacturer's Description from Other

 

A painstaking all tube recreation of the infamous Midrange EQ used to sweeten mixes, increase density and weight of recorded audio and featured on countless classic records. A true sleeper in the annals of legendary tube equalizers. Until Now.

POWERFUL, COLORFUL, BEAUTIFULLY SMOOTH TUBE EQUALIZER; A TRUE SLEEPER, BUILT THE AUDIOSCAPE WAY

Introducing the AudioScape MEQ-A Mid Range Equalizer; an all tube, period-correct faithful recreation of a legendary Midrange-EQ used on countless records and in the most famous mastering rooms! 

This EQ targets arguably, the most crucial frequency range known to the human-ear - 200hz to 7k and imparts a warm and musical tone to every track that goes through it.  

It can be subtle or over the top depending on how you choose to (ab)use it. What we love is; you really can’t make it sound bad.

NOS TUBE COMPLEMENT:

  • 12AX7
  • 6AQ5A
  • 6x4 Rectifier Tube (Faithful to the Original Circuit)

WHY SHOULD YOU BUY A MEQ-A?

 - Proudly built in small-batches from end to end on site, in the USA by a small team of skilled assemblers.  Each assembler is assigned 2 products, making them masters of their craft!

 - KNOW where your hard-earned money is going and feel GOOD about ANY purchase made from us!  Every dollar spent helps feed a family, fund college tuition and supports NEW product development / R & D!

 - Our margins are very tight. BUT, this sacrifice allows us FULL control over EVERY aspect of the manufacturing and assembly process.

 - We are able to capitalize on the USA surplus market and use NOS parts where it matters and most importantly, we are able to offer a product that is (in our biased opinions), simply a step above the competition.
