The Maag Audio EQ2® (500 Series) is a no compromise one channel 2 band equalizer with AIR BAND®, Low Mid
Frequency (LMF) bell boost from SUB to 1.4 kHz, and an INPUT ATTN to control down to –12 dB of attenuation. The
EQ2's AIR BAND® is equipped with an additional sassy frequency selection @ 15 kHz, making the EQ2 hard to re-
sist in any situation. The LMF provides both tight or wide bell curve options to dial in the perfect amount of warmth on
the 2-bus. When it comes to tracking, the EQ2 will quickly become your favorite preamps' "better half" by controlling
the input (INPUT ATTN) (great for correcting over driven mic preamp transformers) before eq'ing with the versatile
AIR BAND and LMF. The EQ2 is compatible with the API 500-6B lunchbox® and 500VPR rack systems and any oth-
er 500 Series spec rack.
Following its EQ4® predecessor, the EQ2 provides unparalleled transparency and top end presence with the same
high quality components found in the powerhouse 6 band EQ4. EQ adjustments are obtained with minimal phase
shift and detent controls allow for easy recallable settings, even on the INPUT ATTN.
