Buzz Audio REQ-2.2

The Buzz Audio REQ-2.2 ME Mastering Equalizer utilizes parallel resonant circuits in a clever configuration whereby the bandwidth (Q) of the circuit can be adjusted like an active filter, but without any complex relay switching. The inductor/capacitor resonant "tank" EQ circuit runs at a low internal signal level which avoids any inductor saturation effects. The overall result is the sound of real choke based filters with a big open sound, but without the limitation of only a few - or no bandwidth selections as found on traditional choke EQs. Mastering version includes a choke filter low band. AUDIO PATH QUALITY As you would expect, the REQ uses our BE40 True Class A circuits developed for the MA-2.2 microphone amplifier for superlative audio performance. It also utilizes our BE44 discrete line driver at the output that acts like a transformer and can respond to balanced or unbalanced loads. But sometimes you might need a bit more color, so we have included a saturation section that in
