MQ 302S & 302L
MQ 302S
MQ 302L
General Description
Here’s the long and the short of it. The MQ 302S uses
Short space-saving 20 mm sliders, while the MQ 302L uses
Long and more precise 45mm sliders. All other features are
identical.
The MQ 302S and MQ 302L are 30-band equalizers with
ultimate stereo accuracy. The single set of faders controls
both left and right channels simultaneously, maintaining true
stereo tracking and utilizing constant-Q technology. These
EQs fills the void for true stereo applications.
Both models are accurate, professional quality instruments
capable of precise equalization down to a fraction of a dB.
You can expect several advantages from your constant-Q
equalizer over conventional designs: moving one slider will
not affect neighboring filters as much, so you won’t spend
time re-adjusting sliders (we call this “equalizing the equalizer”). You’ll be able to obtain better feedback control
Features
• 30 Bands of Constant-Q Filters on Ganged Stereo Sliders
• Extremely Low Noise: 115 dB Dynamic Range
without losing sound quality. All sliders maintain smooth,
consistent and accurate calibrated control over filter levels,
which is especially critical in low-profile equalizer designs.
Because of this, the overall EQ adjustment process is significantly easier and more effective.
An Input Level control is provided along with a Bypass
switch, enabling easy gain comparisons between equalized
and unequalized signal. +4 dBu and Overload indicators
detect both input and post-EQ levels.
Either unit interfaces easily to many types of systems,
featuring balanced XLR Inputs and Outputs, along with
balanced ¼" TRS Inputs and unbalanced ¼" TS Outputs.
The Rane Mojo Series maintains sonic and construction
quality not found (until now) in this price range. Designed for
the working musician…simple operation…reduced
features…without compromise in audio quality or dependability.
