The Drawmer MQ-2 is a stereo 7-band proportional Q equalizer, inspired by the legendary Motown EQs of the 1960s and re-engineered for the modern studio. Designed as a 500-series module, it offers smooth, musical equalization with carefully selected vintage-inspired frequency bands and a fully variable ±10dB boost or cut. Whether shaping vocals, drums or full mixes, the MQ-2 delivers timeless analog warmth with unparalleled precision.
Compression and Harmonic Saturation in One Unit
More than just an EQ, the MQ-2 includes a program-dependent, one-knob compressor that adapts to your signal, ensuring smooth transient control and dynamic shaping. The compressor's placement in the signal chain is switchable, allowing you to tailor its effect before or after EQ adjustments. Additionally, the CRUSH circuit, borrowed from the Drawmer 1971, introduces rich harmonic saturation, enhancing bass weight, midrange presence and high-end shimmer for an unmistakable vintage character.
Flexible Sound Shaping With Intuitive Controls
With hardwired bypass, clear metering and a thoughtfully designed layout, the MQ-2 makes sound shaping effortless. Its proportional Q design ensures natural, phase-coherent adjustments, preserving clarity and musicality in every tweak. The more compression and EQ boost applied, the stronger the CRUSH effect, allowing for dynamic, responsive saturation that breathes life into any mix. Whether applying subtle warmth or full analog coloration, the MQ-2's flexibility ensures optimal control over your sound.
Handcrafted British Excellence
Designed and manufactured in Drawmer's UK factory, the MQ-2 is built for professional-grade reliability and performance. Featuring low-noise circuitry, high-quality analog components, and a rugged 500-series build, it seamlessly integrates into both tracking and mixing workflows. Whether you're chasing the soulful tones of the past or shaping a signature sound, the MQ-2 provides unparalleled sonic depth, warmth and precision, making it an essential tool for producers and mix engineers alike.
