MQX Equalizers

MQX equalizers use “Q” enhanced Wein bridge filters and interleaved summing for constant “Q”, low ripple, and minimum filter interaction. A servo-balanced output stage simulates a true transformer output to allow interfacing with virtually any type of load.

MQX equalizers have with three different connector types:

1/4” inch stereo phone jacks

Three pin XLR type connectors

Euroblocks

These three connectors facilitate interfacing to most professional audio products. Both inputs and outputs can be used balanced or unbalanced.

Connectors & Cables

Your MQX series equalizer is provided with three different connector types:

1.1/4 inch stereo phone jacks (TRS)

2.Three pin XLR type connectors

3.Euroblock Connector

When possible, balanced connections are recommend between all components in your system, as this eliminates ground-loop induced hum and noise.

MQX Connector Polarities

Unbalanced Connections and Grounding

If you must use unbalanced connectors, the negative lead of the connector should be tied to the ground lead. Using unbalanced connections could result in chassis ground-loop noise. Altering the signal/chassis ground relationship in equipment connected to your MQX unit may eliminate the noise.
