Especially useful for midband oriented instruments such as guitars, vocals, harmonicas, and violins, the Manley Mid Frequency Equaliser (MEQ-5 type) shares the same features and specifications as our ‘EQP-1A’ version.
The differences lie in the passive EQ section: In the MID EQ, the DIP and PEAK controls function on much sharper bell-shaped curves centred on the selected frequencies, which gives the engineer-producer more precise control over the vitally important midrange and makes this unit indispensable for mastering engineers.
The Manley Mid Frequency Equaliser also completely fills the frequency gaps between the low frequency and high frequency sections of our Enhanced Pultec EQP-1A type EQ; thus the combination of the two provides a most flexible palette of possibilities for tracking or mastering.
