Tube-Tech ME 1B Midrange Equaliser

The Tube-Tech ME 1B is a passive, all-tube midrange equaliser inspired by the classic Pultec MEQ5, featuring two boost sections and one dip section. Its sections are designed with a broader bandwidth than the MEQ5, ensuring ultra-smooth, musical equalisation ideal for vocals, instruments, speech, and other midrange sources.

Mid frequencies are crucial for shaping instruments and vocals to create a cohesive mix. The Tube-Tech ME 1B excels at sculpting midrange tones in the uniquely warm and pleasant way only a passive EQ can deliver. Even with significant midrange boosts, the sound remains open and warm, free from harshness.

The Tube-Tech ME 1B pairs perfectly with the PE 1C program equaliser and serves as an effective bus EQ for various applications. If you’re after that iconic Motown sound, the ME 1B is a key tool for achieving that distinctive midrange character in your recordings.

The Tube-Tech ME 1B is a passive, tube-based midrange equaliser designed to meet and exceed the expectations of the most discerning studio engineers.

The Tube-Tech ME 1B features a low-frequency boost section (peaking), a mid-frequency attenuation section (dipping), and a high-frequency boost section (peaking). Its filter section is passive, followed by a tube-based push-pull amplifier to restore the gain.

Both the input and output are balanced and fully floating, with transformers that include a static screen between the primary and secondary windings for enhanced signal integrity.
