Drawmer MQ-2
MPN #MQ-2
Stereo 7-band proportional Q EQ with one-knob adaptive compression, harmonic Crush feature, ±10dB cut/boost, bypass, and flexible signal path for warm analogue tones
The Drawmer MQ-2 Stereo Vintage EQ & Compressor is a professional-grade audio processor designed to deliver rich, warm, and dynamic sound. Inspired by the iconic "Motown EQ" of the 1960s, this stereo device features a 7-band proportional Q parametric equalizer and a program-dependent one-knob compressor. Its fully analog circuitry offers seven musically tuned bell curves with a variable cut/boost range of ±10 dB, designed to bring out the best in your sound across the frequency spectrum. The MQ-2 also incorporates a "CRUSH" feature that adds harmonic saturation for classic analog warmth and character, ideal for enhancing bass, midrange, and treble elements in your mix.
With intuitive controls and stereo-linked processing, the MQ-2 simplifies achieving professional sound quality. Features like switchable EQ/Compressor signal paths, hardwired bypass, and flexible output gain adjustment provide versatility for various audio setups. Housed in a robust design for 500-series racks, it's an excellent choice for studios seeking vintage-inspired tonal control and sonic enhancement.
