Maselec MEA-2 is a precision stereo parametric equalizer designed for professional mastering, recording and mixing applications. With its analog circuitry and fully stepped controls, it offers extremely accurate and repeatable control over every parameter, making it an ideal tool for professional environments.

High-precision analog mastering equalizer

The MEA-2 is designed for maximum sonic transparency, allowing precise equalization interventions without introducing unwanted coloration. This makes it perfect for mastering, where every change must be controlled and musical.

Stepped controls for perfect recall

Unlike many analog equalizers, the MEA-2 uses fully stepped controls for frequency, gain and Q. This allows extremely precise adjustments and the ability to recall settings exactly at any time.

4 independent bands with ample flexibility

Each channel has four fully independent bands with selectable shelf and peaking modes. The partially overlapping bands and 84 frequencies available per channel offer exceptional flexibility for surgical or musical interventions.

Mastering-level sound performance

With high dynamic range, low noise, and minimal distortion, the MEA-2 delivers top-notch audio performance. EQ curves have been optimized through extensive listening tests to achieve natural, musical results.

Versatility for studio and production

Although designed for mastering, the MEA-2 also integrates seamlessly into recording and mixing chains, offering pinpoint control over any type of audio source.
