Ashly Graphic Equalizers MQX Series - Manual

Graphic Equalizers - MQX Series
At Ashly, we believe that engineers should never have to
compromise their standards for the sake of miniaturization.
So we proudly offer the MQX Series equalizers, which
feature all the performance and great sound of our
legendary GQX models in uniquely compact packages.
The MQX Series uses the same precision filter design
and summing circuitry as the GQX Series, with each filter
exhibiting true constant “Q” response. The center-detented
position of each fader acts as an on/off switch for its filter,
ensuring absolutely flat response and high signal-to-noise
ratios. The faders themselves put these equalizers into a
class all their own. A full 25 mm throw makes use of
every last bit of panel space so that small panel size
doesn’t compromise resolution. The additional range and
incredible accuracy of this fader allow us to offer ±15dB
of amplitude adjustment on each individual filter (an Ashly
exclusive in this class of product). Housed in a rugged
steel chassis, each model features multiple input and
output connectors. For engineers looking to avoid those
cumbersome “wall warts,” Ashly features internal power
supplies on all our products. And, of course, each MQX
Series equalizer is covered by our exclusive Five Year
Worry-Free Warranty.
