MythEQ 500
500er Magical Equalizer

How to come up with a new equalizer without replacing the previous one?

That was the main question on our minds.
The Classic Equalizer EQP-1 scores with its nice warm sound.
So it was clear: we needed to create a Yang to our Yin EQ.
A device that works in a cleaner way, but is also capable of biting – and still retaining the Tegeler character. A device that you can use to get a warm and melodious sound, as well as drastic and aggressive EQ settings.

One device to EQ them all…

… to distort them,
tweak to weak them,
boost or attenuate them,
surgically cut frequencies or
create beautiful new peaks and valleys.
Our new EQ now brings all these features together.

Why MythEQ?

Because after “Legendary” comes “Mythical”
Naming the newest member of the Tegeler family through a Facebook poll was an exciting experiment for us – and you guys did not disappoint.
We were honored by the rationale for the new name, thank you:

“After a legendary device, only a mythical one can follow from you”
Born was the MythEQ.

Get mythical!

Test the EQ in your setup. Imagine how it will nestle perfectly in your setup and lift your sound to the next level.
The hours of tedious “looking for the right EQ plug-in” are finally over.

Because you now have the EQ to EQ them all.

If it still doesn’t fit, just send it back to us.
We mean it, no catch: no hidden costs, subscriptions, or anything like that.

The Tegeler Audio MEQ 500 Series Module is designed for audio professionals and enthusiasts who demand precision, clarity, and flexibility in their sound shaping tools. Whether you’re mixing, mastering, or tracking, this amplifier module delivers exceptional performance that ensures your audio signals are processed with the highest fidelity. In an industry where every detail counts, the MEQ 500 provides a reliable and transparent amplification solution that preserves the integrity of your sound while offering the power and control you need.

One of the standout features of the MEQ 500 is its wide frequency response range of 20 Hz to 40 kHz. This means it can handle the full spectrum of audible frequencies and beyond, allowing you to work confidently with both deep bass and shimmering highs without any loss or coloration. For you as the user, this translates into a more accurate representation of your audio material, ensuring that every nuance is faithfully maintained throughout the signal chain.

The module’s maximum input level of +20 dBu and maximum output level of +21 dBu provide a robust headroom that prevents distortion even with strong input signals. This is crucial for maintaining clean, undistorted sound, particularly when working with dynamic sources or when pushing your equipment to its limits during mixing or mastering sessions. Additionally, the input impedance of at least 2.4 kΩ and output impedance under 600Ω ensure compatibility with a wide range of audio gear, minimizing signal loss and noise interference.

Dynamic range is another vital specification, and the MEQ 500 excels with a rating of 100 dB or greater. This extensive dynamic range means the module can handle both the quietest and loudest parts of a recording with ease, preserving detail and preventing compression artifacts. The power supply voltage of ±16 V and maximum current consumption of only 80 mA indicate efficient and stable internal electronics, which contribute to consistent performance and reliability during long sessions.

Physically, the Tegeler Audio MEQ 500 fits the standard API 500 module size, making it a versatile choice for integration into existing 500 series racks. Weighing 540 grams, it is lightweight yet solidly built, ensuring it won’t add unnecessary bulk to your setup but will withstand the rigors of frequent use. This makes it an ideal addition for studios looking to expand their processing capabilities without compromising space or compatibility.

In practical terms, the MEQ 500 is perfect for engineers and producers who want transparent and powerful amplification in their signal path. Whether you are tracking vocals, drums, or instruments, or refining mixes and masters, this module provides precise control with minimal coloration. Its professional-grade components and design mean that it can be trusted for critical listening environments where accuracy matters most.

In summary, the Tegeler Audio MEQ 500 Series Module is a high-quality amplifier that delivers exceptional audio fidelity, robust performance, and seamless integration into your existing setup. Priced at ₹71,785, it represents a solid investment for professionals seeking a reliable and transparent amplification solution. With this module, you can confidently elevate your audio production, knowing your sound is in expert hands.
