Graphic Equalizers - MQX Series
MQX-2310 TWO CHANNEL 31-BAND
MQX-2150 TWO CHANNEL 15-BAND
At Ashly, we believe that engineers should never have to compromise their standards for the sake of miniaturization. So we proudly offer the MQX Series equalizers, which feature all the performance and great sound of our legendary GQX models in uniquely compact packages.
The MQX Series uses the same precision filter design and summing circuitry as the GQX Series, with each filter exhibiting true constant “Q” response. The center-detented position of each fader acts as an on/off switch for its filter, ensuring absolutely flat response and high signal-to-noise ratios. The faders themselves put these equalizers into a class all their own. A full 25 mm throw makes use of every last bit of panel space so that small panel size doesn’t compromise resolution. The additional range and incredible accuracy of this fader allow us to offer ±15dB of amplitude adjustment on each individual filter (an Ashly exclusive in this class of product). Housed in a rugged steel chassis, each model features multiple input and output connectors. For engineers looking to avoid those cumbersome “wall warts,” Ashly features internal power supplies on all our products. And, of course, each MQX Series equalizer is covered by our exclusive Five Year Worry-Free Warranty.
