Description

The McIntosh MQ112 Environmental Equalizer is designed to give you full control over your audio experience, addressing both room acoustics and the nuances of your music. If you're frustrated by the limitations of your space or the imperfections in your recordings, the MQ112 allows you to adjust the sound to suit your exact preferences. Whether you’re an audiophile looking to fine-tune your system or a casual listener trying to get the most out of your setup, the MQ112 can make a noticeable difference.

Key Features:

8-Band Analog Equalizer:

  • The MQ112 features an 8-band equalizer covering the 25Hz to 10kHz frequency range, with a ±12dB adjustment for each band. This gives you precise control over key frequencies, allowing you to enhance or reduce specific sound ranges for optimal audio performance. Whether you're working with room acoustics or adjusting for specific instruments or vocal types, the MQ112 gives you the tools to transform your listening experience.

Improve Older Music:

  • The MQ112 excels not only in adjusting room acoustics but also in revitalizing older recordings. Its precise control over frequencies allows you to compensate for deficiencies in vintage tracks, unlocking their hidden detail and depth.

TILT Control for Tonal Balance:

  • The TILT knob offers a ±6dB tonal balance shift, letting you boost bass or cut treble to suit your preference. This feature allows you to adjust the overall warmth of your sound for a more personalized listening experience.

EQ Control and Bypass:

  • With the EQ Control knob, you can easily toggle the EQ circuit on or off. This allows you to compare the adjusted sound with the original unaltered version, ensuring that the changes made are exactly what you desire.

Seamless Integration:

  • The MQ112 includes both balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs, making it easy to integrate into your existing audio system. You can connect it between the preamplifier and power amplifier using whichever input/output type best suits your system, and it’s even versatile enough to work with integrated amplifiers with removable jumpers.
  • The second output on the MQ112 offers additional functionality for systems with multiple speakers, subwoofers, or for bi-amping a single pair of speakers for optimal sound control.

Subwoofer Integration:

  • For systems that include subwoofers, the second output can be switched to MONO, enabling the connection of two subwoofers or providing extra bass punch. This feature enhances flexibility and control over low-end frequencies.

Timeless McIntosh Design:

  • The MQ112 boasts McIntosh's signature aesthetic with a black glass front, rotary control knobs, and custom-machined aluminum end caps. The illuminated logo adds a touch of elegance, while the Power Control ports make it easy to integrate with other McIntosh components, allowing the MQ112 to power on and off with the rest of your system.

Versatile Audio Control:

  • The MQ112 can be connected to tape monitor record/play loops, processor loops, and is well-suited for integration in more intricate setups. Its flexible design ensures it can fit seamlessly into any home audio system, providing the perfect balance between functionality and sonic performance.

Conclusion:

The McIntosh MQ112 Environmental Equalizer is a powerful and versatile tool for anyone serious about improving their sound experience. Whether you're dealing with tricky room acoustics, enhancing older music, or simply refining your listening environment, the MQ112 offers precise control to help you achieve the perfect sound. Its stylish design, low noise performance, and compatibility with various audio systems make it an essential component for audiophiles and music lovers alike.
