Like the 1u standalone Maag Audio EQ4M stereo mastering equaliser, the Maag Audio EQ4-500 has six eq band sections divided into four, fixed frequency bell-shaped peaking equaliser sections, a 2.5 kHz shelving equaliser section, and the air band shelf equaliser with a choice of: off, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 40 kHz frequencies.
The five frequency bands in the main section are: sub or 10 Hz, 40 Hz, 160 Hz, 650 Hz, and the 2.5 kHz shelf eq. The air gain allows for up to +20 dB boost for the air band shelving equaliser.
The five EQs in the main section have a boost/cut range of +15 dB and -4.5 dB with centre position detent at 0 db. The eq4-500 has both a green signal present led at -20 dBu and a red peak LED that flashes with +23 dBu peaks. There is also an in/out bypass switch for the entire module.
The Maag Audio EQ4-500 series 6-band equaliser is the ultimate equaliser for any 500vpr rack owner that, along with the access to the air band, will become your first “go to” tool for both recording and mixing duties.
