Mäag Audio

’s newest creation is the 

PREQ2™ 

Dual Mic Preamp with EQ

, a complete analog 

system for either recording or mixing housed in 
a 1U standalone unit. It comes with Cliff Mäag’s 
venerable Air Band® shelving equalizer first in-
troduced in 1993 with his NTI EQ3 equalizer.
 
The PREQ2™ will handle either line or micro-
phone signal levels with two matched channels 
both with separate rear panel line level input 

and microphone XLR connectors and switcha-
ble +48-volt phantom powering. The rear panel 
also has XLR output connectors for each chan-
nel and a on/off/fuse mains switch.
 
All switches on the PREQ2™ have colorful LEDs 
to confirm their operation and all controls have 
detents with the exception of the continuously 
variable microphone gain.
