The Manley Dual Mid Band EQ is a mastering-grade stereo passive equalizer engineered to deliver exceptional midrange focus, clarity, and separation with the smooth musical precision that defines premium analog processing.
Designed for recording, mixing, and mastering applications, it combines passive inductor-based equalization, high-voltage tube makeup gain, and custom Manley Iron transformers to shape presence and punch without introducing harshness or sacrificing musical balance. Rather than simply correcting frequencies, the Dual Mid Band EQ enhances the character and intelligibility of your material while maintaining natural phase relationships and stereo image stability. Its passive EQ network produces broad, musical curves, while the tube gain stage restores signal level with impressive headroom, harmonic richness, and analog depth. Transformer-coupled inputs and outputs contribute the weight and dimensionality expected from Manley's renowned analog designs. Whether refining a stereo mix, mastering a finished production, or adding definition to buses and individual tracks, the Dual Mid Band EQ delivers transparent yet highly musical midrange control. Updated ergonomics, Mid/Side compatibility with external matrix systems, and a universal switchmode power supply complete this handcrafted California-built equalizer.
