Maselec MEA-2 Mastering EQ description:

The Prism Sound MASELEC MEA-2 Mastering EQ. Highly respected in the worlds best studios and designed for recording and mastering applications where ultimate sonic performance is required.

The Prism Sound MASELEC MEA-2 Precision Stereo Equalizer is designed for recording and mastering applications where ultimate sonic performance is required. Top recording and mastering engineers still use some analogue signal processing equipment, finding the familiar correlation between sound and control easier to work with. However, most analogue equalizers have either continuously variable controls, making precise adjustments difficult, or just a few course stepped controls. Many fail to meet the standards of audio performance consistent with digital delivery media. Through extensive research and the legacy of the highly acclaimed Maselec 9001 retrofit equalizer for SSL 4000 mixing consoles used in top film and recording studios, Prism Sound have produced the MASELEC MEA-2 Precision Stereo Equalizer. The MEA-2 was developed in association with engineer/producer Leif Mases. Leif's work with a diverse range of artists including Abba, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath is demonstrated by the MEA-2's design with the engineer in mind.

The main features of the Prism Sound MASELEC MEA-2 include:
