The TUBE-TECH ME 1B is a passive, all-tube midrange equaliser inspired by the legendary Pultec MEQ-5. It features two boost sections and one dip section, with a broader bandwidth design compared to the MEQ-5 for ultra-smooth, musical equalisation. Ideal for vocals, instruments, speech, and other midrange sources, it delivers exceptional results.
Midrange frequencies are crucial for shaping instruments and vocals, helping a mix achieve cohesion. The TUBE-TECH ME 1B excels at enhancing midrange tones with the unique warmth and openness of a passive equaliser, even under extreme boosts, avoiding any harshness.
Designed as the perfect complement to the PE 1C program EQ, the TUBE-TECH ME 1B also performs brilliantly as a bus EQ for various applications. It’s a key tool for capturing that iconic Motown midrange sound, adding richness and character to your recordings.
The TUBE-TECH ME 1B is a passive, tube-based midrange equaliser designed to meet and exceed the expectations of discerning studio engineers. It features a low-frequency boost, a midrange dip, and a high-frequency boost, all using passive filters followed by a tube-based push-pull amplifier to restore gain.
The unit includes balanced, fully floating input and output transformers with a static screen separating the primary and secondary windings for optimal performance.
Midrange EQ ME1A and ME1B differences?
The circuit and functions are exactly the same. The amplifier section in the ME 1A is hardwired. In the ME 1B the transformers and the tubes are placed inside the unit on a printed circuit board.
