MIA Laboratories 590 Dynamic EQ

The 590 is a 5 band Dynamic EQ, offering dynamic equalisation under MIA Laboratories’ envelope detector, based on the analogue envelope detector circuit. It features parallel band compression or expansion under double precision processing and can be operated in x4 oversampling. Colour and Distortion can be applied to each band, delivering a characteristic analogue feel through Tube or Class-A - flavoured equalisation  and a fine-tuned Triode distortion algorithm.  Compression/ExpansionEach band of the 590 can be operated in compression or expansion mode, with attack and release times reaching up to 200 ms and 2.000 ms, respectively. Under the hood, our custom envelope detector, used in 925 and 409 compressors, utilises the classic feed-back topology, resulting in smoother and more “controllable” dynamic response. The user is able to select between more subtle or aggressive dynamic response, by switching between “Slope” and “Ratio” modes. ColourThe “Colour” knob, coming from the Musiq
