Key Features
The Relab Maselec MEA-2 is a mastering-grade EQ plug-in, the only plugin to be officially endorsed by Maslelec themselves. Built in collaboration with the original hardware designer, Leif Mases, it captures the character and accuracy of the original hardware while adding practical digital enhancements. The hand-tuned asymmetrical Q design lets you shape frequencies in a more natural, ear-led way, helping your decisions feel less clinical and more musical.
Broad shelving gives you smooth, even tonal balance across wide frequency ranges, avoiding harsh peaks or muddy lows. With mid/side control available on every band, you can fine-tune stereo detail exactly where it matters. Add in fast, intuitive controls, and you’ll move through sessions efficiently while maintaining full control over every detail.

The MEA-2’s EQ curves are carefully crafted rather than mathematically generic, giving you a more musical response when adjusting frequencies. Its asymmetrical Unique Q design allows for subtle, expressive shaping that responds naturally to your material. This means you can make adjustments that feel intuitive, helping you focus on what sounds right instead of overthinking technical settings. Whether you're refining a full mix or adjusting individual elements, the result is smoother, more cohesive tone with less effort.
Broad shelving lets you adjust large frequency areas without introducing abrupt changes. High frequencies remain open and clear without becoming harsh, while low frequencies stay full without losing definition. This approach is particularly useful during mastering, where balance is everything. You can gently enhance or control your mix while maintaining its natural character, ensuring your final result translates well across different systems.
With mid/side processing available on every band, you’re not limited to global stereo adjustments. Instead, you can target specific frequencies within the centre or sides of your mix independently. This gives you far greater control over width, depth, and placement, helping you resolve masking issues or enhance spatial clarity. It’s a flexible approach that suits detailed mixing and mastering tasks alike, especially when working on complex arrangements.
The MEA-2 combines classic sound with practical digital features designed for efficient workflows. Stereo linking per band, balance control, and advanced preset handling all help streamline your process. The resizable interface keeps everything clear and accessible, so you can stay focused on your mix. There’s also solo isolation for precise frequency targeting, letting you hear exactly what you’re adjusting to make critical decisions quicker and more confident.
