Maag EQ4® EQ
-
A transparent, breathy EQ
that brings your tracks to life.In a self-professed quest for “audio perfection,” Cliff Maag designed the EQ4 to provide unparalleled transparency and top-end presence while maintaining a true, natural sound. Designed in conjunction with Brainworx, the Maag EQ4 plug-in for UAD hardware and Apollo interfaces is an expertly rendered emulation of this classic EQ.
Based on his legendary — and long-discontinued — NTI EQ3 from the ’80s, the EQ4 plug-in features Maag’s legendary "Air" Band control, a major component to the vocal mix chain on Madonna’s Ray of Light as well as Celine Dion’s Taking Chances.Add natural, musical presence to vocals, acoustic guitars, and overheads
Easily elevate top-end without harshness or hiss
Use five-position Air Band control to quickly inject life into dull tracks
Make musical broad stroke EQ moves while preserving original source material
“Every hit, every #1, every Grammy mix I have ever done, has featured Maag EQs. The EQ4 is my current favorite product from Maag Audio. I use it to EQ vocals, drums, acoustic instruments and of course the stereo buss.”
– Dave Pensado (Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake)Customer Reviews

Special tool
With some gear you use it for a special purpose. I’ve been using the MAAGEQ4 from plug-in alliance since day one. Primary for the ultraband only. I thought the algorithm was the same as the UAD version but apparently not. I use this pi every session almost. Vocals or strings it just does the job in 20/40khz version. A standard tool in the box

A wonderful tool I use everyday！
Love it immediately when the first time I heard it!! And now I can't leave it~ It's interface，control，quality，and sound are so nice~ Give me some air！ And it becomes real~ wonderful~
T. Gardner
I love it!!!
I use the maag on every vocal chain to add air to my signal, it's so clean and adds a bit of sonic clarity.
