For all you headed to Camp Tape Op this weekend...stop by the booth and check it out! For the rest of you...the one and only picture of the Mastering EQ in known existance...

Sorry Wes,

Lynn has one already, I sent it to him the other day...

See you in a week.

Dan

ah...whatever...

here is a picture someone at lynns forum posted.

Man! ...mine is a blurry and crap. I was feeling like a badass for leaking the first picture...

Back to the point. The frequencies have been altered for a wider range, the gain switched are detented in .5dB steps up to +-3dB, then in 1dB steps to +-9. A "Link" switch has been added that links the right channel to the controls for the left, with the exception of the gain cut or boost controls, which have to be manipulated seperately. The same input level manipulation (+8 to -20dB), and the unbalanced patch point are still available for interfacing with various types of gear and the ever popular MP-2NV pre amp, making this the most dangerous piece of gear on the planet...user beware!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how much$?

any ideas???

No MSRP yet...should be more info next week when Dan gets back from Tape Op.

how hot does it run?

in a rack would it be best to have an open air space above and below it - (thus having it use 4 spaces)

or is that not needed?

or maybe just one above it?

is the bottom perforated, or not?

thanks

I bet that thing is fun to use!



Tape Op Con folks - runs some audio through it and report back!

It doesn't run as hot as it's little brother. It's perforated top and bottom.

I'd run it right up against anything else, no sweat.

I've been waiting for this...........

Dan - What's different that makes it run cooler (if it's a trade secret no worries)?

Seems like the same thing with more space ...


Nice one Dan!

true.

and - as compared to the EQ2-NV - my understanding is that .... (a pal told me that he was told) .... it does have smoother sounding input transformers.... that it will street for about $4,100....... but don't quote me.



$4,100 for a fully detented mastering EQ of this quality seems pretty good, doesn't it?

so..... has anyone heard the MAQ-NV yet?

Won't be long now, I finally got the real Elma's in, the extra gold, not the silver contact ones, so I can ship.

...and I'd hate to see the invoice for those - damn expensive parts, eh Dan???

Yeah, the beer account is seriously depleted...

Where are your priorities, man?

any news?

thanks

Rumor has it one is mkaing it's way down to Memphis, and as long as it's not coming via barge it should be here (relatively) soon...

Would love to hear Dan's views on how the MAQ differs in tone from the EQ2.

The spec changes are pretty much everything I dreamt of when I had an EQ2 for a couple of weeks, but I'm interested to know what effect he feels the new transformers and amp modifications have had.

Jules

You have me (in part) to thank for that. It was coming here first (then to you) but I'm going on vacation this Friday with the kids so I gave up my place in line. But I'll be ringing you as soon as I get back. Count on it.

Wait a sec. Actually I'll be driving through Memphis on the way back from vacation. Hmmm. I might just land on your doorstep.

"Knock knock. Any EQ home?"

Tim, any news on the Buzz Audio EQ??

I'd be keen to hear this unit!

so..... i'll ask again....has anyone heard the MAQ-NV yet?

Yah, played with it over the last week. It's a nice EQ - not too transparent, not too colored. The HP filters are great and I was surprised at how easy I could either do surgical or broad work. Bottom end is very nice and the top end passed my +3db @ 10kHz test with ease, nice open top.

Need more time to play with it, but so far it's a winner.

Ohh Brad....you lucky Guy!!!!

Hopefully i get mine this week.....

Just thought I'd dig this thread up again...anyone own an MAQ-2NV yet?
