Maag Audio Q4M® 6-band EQ4M Dual Channel Mastering EQ

 

Elevated Performance and Technical Specifications

Propelled by an internal high-current +/- 18-volt regulated power supply, the EQ4M boasts a remarkable maximum output level of +28.5 dBu when driving 600-ohm load impedances. Notably, the unit maintains a near-flat frequency response across the audio range, registering only a -2 dB drop at the extremities of 10 Hz and 75 kHz.

Robust EQ Band Configuration

Each channel of the EQ4M is endowed with six EQ band sections thoughtfully arranged for precision audio sculpting. This ensemble comprises four fixed-frequency bell-shaped equalizer sections, a 2.5 kHz shelving equalizer section, and the esteemed Air Band equalizer. The Air Band allows users to select from a range of frequencies: 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 40 kHz. Central to the main section are five essential frequency bands: Sub/10 Hz, 40 Hz, 160 Hz, 650 Hz, and the 2.5 kHz shelving EQ.

Flexible EQ Control and Monitoring

Flexibility reigns as all EQ sections offer a boost/cut range spanning +15 dB to -4.5 dB, with a centered detent at 0 dB. The Air Band section is complemented by its individual bypass button, while separate hardwire bypass switches cater to each channel. Additionally, each channel is outfitted with an input attenuator control ranging from 0 to -10 dB. Visual monitoring is facilitated by both a green signal present LED (activated at -20 dBu) and a red peak LED that signals when peaks approach +23 dBu.

In sum, the EQ4M from Maag Audio encapsulates precision, heritage, and sonic excellence, making it a cornerstone tool for the discerning audio professional in the realms of mastering and audio production.
