Ashly Audio MQX-2150 : 2 Channel 15 Band Graphic Equalizer

The Ashly Audio MQX-2150 Series graphic equalizer features 2 channels of 15-band 2/3-octave EQ. Ashly MQX-2150 equalizers follow our popular GQX series with the same quality you expect from Ashly, only in a smaller package. Where most "mini-equalizers" use 20mm faders, Ashly uses custom built, professional quality 25mm faders for maximum resolution and long life. The center detented position is utilized as an "on/off" switch for that filter which minimizes any possible degradation in signal noise levels.

The Ashly Audio MQX-2150 has a high-pass filter that can be used to supplement the frequency response by rolling off low end response to eliminate subsonic interference like wind noise, floor rumble, and boomy microphone pops. The MQX-2150's is fixed at 20Hz with an 18dB/octave switchable from the front panel. A 6dB or 15dB range of filter boost or cut is selectable from the front panel.

The Ashly MQX equalizers are designed to be significantly quiet without the need for noise reduction to be built into the equalizer circuit. Double-sided circuit boards and an extensive ground plane design are used in the filter sections to improve RFI and electrostatic immunity. Precision Wein-Bridge filters and carefully designed summing amplifiers combine to provide extremely accurate response, low noise, negligible distortion, and complete immunity to magnetic fields. All filters exhibit true constant "Q" response with no broadening near the "flat" setting. High slew-rate circuitry throughout the signal path results in clean, quiet, transparent sound. Ashly's unique "T-Beam" front panel construction eliminates interconnections between the faders and the filters, resulting in a very rugged and rigid front panel.

Input and output connections include locking XLR, 1/4" TRS and Euroblock. Ashly's servo-balanced output circuitry maintains unity gain even if pins 2 or 3 are connected directly to ground. The power supply is a universal switching power supply which operates from 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz with the power switch located on the rear panel.
