Product Description
The Great River MAQ-2NV Stereo Mastering EQ is a stereo mastering equalizer based on the much-respected EQ-2NV. This two-rack-space digitally controlled analog parametric EQ offers similar topology to vintage 1081/1083 models, but with welcome improvements. Designed with Class A discrete single-ended amplifiers and true inductor/capacitor (L/C) circuitry add greater clarity and dynamic range to the musicality of the vintage-era models. The MAQ-2NV also has a discrete high-current Class A balanced output stage.
Built to satisfy personal requests from mastering engineers who have heard the EQ-2NV, it features extended high and low frequency ranges, EQ gain switches, linkable channel control, and very low frequency high pass filters. Each channel’s four EQ band gain switches range in ½ dB steps from 0 to +/-3 dB, and 1 dB steps from +/-3 to +/- 8 dB, and each band has separate push button bypass switches. There are Left and Right channel bypass switches, the channel high pass filter frequencies are 15, 20, 25, 32, 40, and 50 Hz, and the link switch sets both channels from the left channel controls for identical EQ curves.
As in the EQ-2NV, the front panel input selector/sensitivity switch offers the option of using the signal from the MAQ-2NV's transformer-coupled line input (ranging from +8 dBm to -20 dBm), or the patched signal from an NV preamp or other device.
MAQ-2NV BENEFITS:
- Precision gain switches offer complete reset capabilities
- Link switch allows identical parameters for each channel (set from left channel)
- Balanced +4 dBU & -10 dBV Unbalanced I/O
- Effortless sound shaping and frequency manipulation
- Flexible band use; 1,2,3, or 4 bands can be used simultaneously
- Simple pushbutton selection between Q positions and peak/shelf
