Each
of the two channels offers three parametric bands with a two-position
switchable Q. The outer bands per side are low/high shelf designs which
can be separately switched into a low/high cut mode. In the cut mode, a
resonance peak keeps the knee frequency from sounding overly damped,
reminiscent of inductor circuits in classic designs.
Each of the
five gain controllers per side can be altered from boost to cut with a
single switch, for easy location of problem frequencies and twice the
number of available gain steps. Each channels has a switchable option
for adding strong harmonic color of the signal, making two EQs in one.
Many will prefer the color setting for mix use and the clean for
tracking, but this is up to you to discover.
The circuit design
of the museq is 100% discrete analog technology. All signal processing
is realized with single transistors in permanent class-A mode, and even
the power supply is composed of fully discrete circuits. An oversized
transformer, selected capsuled conductive plastic potentiometers as
well as special current feedback amplifiers are part of the technical
refinement. The combination of these elements aims at maximum signal
quality and guarantees clean and powerful sound characteristics even
when extreme settings are used.
