Ashly MQX Series Dépliant

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.
