The Drawmer MQ-1 is a 500-series equaliser that brings the iconic sound of the 1960s Motown era to your audio setup. This single-channel, seven-band proportional-Q equaliser is inspired by the legendary EQs used in Detroit’s renowned studios, offering the same musical frequencies that defined a generation.
Each of the seven bell curves provides a fully variable ±10dB boost or cut, allowing for precise tonal shaping. The proportional-Q design ensures that the bandwidth of each band adjusts automatically with gain, delivering an intuitive and musical EQ experience.
What sets the Drawmer MQ-1 apart is its integrated ‘CRUSH’ feature, which introduces harmonic saturation to your signal. Engaging this circuit imparts classic analogue warmth, fattening the bass, enhancing midrange presence, and adding a delightful shimmer to the highs. The more you drive the EQ, the more pronounced the ‘CRUSH’ effect becomes, allowing for dynamic and expressive sound shaping.
Designed and manufactured in the UK, the Drawmer MQ-1 upholds Drawmer’s commitment to quality and precision. Its low-noise design and hard-wired bypass ensure that your audio remains pristine, while the classic Drawmer build quality guarantees durability and reliability.
Whether you’re aiming to capture the soulful tones of the past or craft new and unique sounds, the Drawmer MQ-1 is the perfect tool to bring warmth, depth, and detail to your music.
