Until now, audio engineers choosing an equalizer had to give up a lot just to save a little rack space. Ashly believes that engineers should never have to compromise their standards just for the sake of miniaturization. They proudly announce the MQX Series, featuring all the performance and great sound of the legendary GQX models in an uniquely compact package.
The same exacting filter design and summing circuitry are utilized, with each filter exhibiting true constant Q response. The center detented position of every fader acts as an on/off switch for its filter (to minimize any possible degradation to signal noise levels). Even the faders themselves put these MQX Series models into a class of their own. Instead of the 20mm plastic faders typically used by the competition, Ashly has selected a custom-manufactured 25mm slide fader device. The additional range and accuracy of this component offers up to +/-15 dB of boost or cut adjustment on each individual filter (an Ashly exclusive in this class of product).
Housed in a rugged steel chassis, each model features balanced inputs and outputs, with full ground lift provisions. For those engineers looking to avoid those pesky "wall warts," you will be pleased to find that Ashly feature internal power supplies in all their products.
Of course, each MQX Series equalizer is covered by our exclusive Five Year Worry Free Warranty. Finally, a truly professional graphic equalizer in a smaller rack space package. When performance, value, and reliability are the most important considerations, the Ashly MQX Series offers the obvious solution to your limited rack space equalization situation!
