Designed around the proprietary "AIR BAND" technology that made the brand famous, the EQ4M stands out as the stereo rack version intended for mix bus and mastering. It retains the clear and open sonic aesthetic dear to Mäag Audio, with ergonomics and precision suited for demanding professional environments. Mäag Audio is also an official member of the VPR Alliance, ensuring high manufacturing standards.
The EQ4M is aimed at mixing and mastering engineers seeking a musical and reliable EQ to sculpt the low end, clarify the midrange, and add air on top without harshness. Its fast response, very low phase shift, and detented controls make it an ideal partner for the 2-bus, mastering chain, lead vocals, overheads, or any stem requiring instantly reproducible definition and presence.
The renowned "AIR BAND" acts as a variable high-frequency shelf (2.5 to 40 kHz) that adds openness, presence, and a sense of space without hardening the highs. It allows a mix to breathe, a vocal to open up, or an ensemble's image to stretch, all while keeping the mix's foundation intact.
Surrounding the "AIR BAND," five highly musical band-pass filters provide essential adjustments from bass to upper midrange. The curves are designed for quick and effective interventions, with detented potentiometers offering faithful recall from session to session and perfect channel coherence.
The +29 dBu headroom guarantees a comfortable margin even in dense analog chains. Balanced XLR inputs/outputs ensure easy integration, low noise, and exemplary stability, while the minimal phase architecture preserves the impact, width, and depth of your mixes.
