Searching for the perfect sound reproduction can sometimes be frustrating, as practically no space in the home is rarely designed with only sound reproduction in mind. This can lead to you having to constantly fix the acoustics, change the placement of the speakers or even rearrange the furniture (which may not please other family members). Another difficulty is the varying quality and tonal balance of the recordings. Instead of wasting time adjusting your system or room, easily take control of your sound with the MQ112 Environmental Equalizer and spend more time with your music.
IMPROVE THE BALANCE OF THE OLDER VOICES
The MQ112 Environmental Equalizer does more than reduce room acoustics problems; it can also breathe new life into older, imperfect recordings. The MQ112's masterful precision allows you to target specific frequencies, compensating for the imperfections of old recordings and revealing their hidden brilliance.
The TILT control, with its subtle ±6dB tonal balance adjustment, allows you to customize the sound even further. Boost the bass and reduce the treble or vice versa - the choice is yours. The EQ Control's IN and OUT settings allow you to bypass the entire EQ circuit, allowing you to compare the adjusted sound with the original, unaltered version and ensure you're getting the perfect sound profile. The EQ can also be triggered IN or OUT using the EQ Control Trigger on the rear panel, giving you seamless control over when the MQ112 does its magic. In addition, using one of the programmable excitation signals of the audio system preamplifier, the equalizer can be switched IN or OUT depending on the input or amplifier selection. Meticulously designed and manufactured, the MQ112 features remarkably low-noise circuitry and minimal distortion, making it a seamless match for high-end audio systems.
