You’ve heard the Mäag Audio EQ4® on the vocals of artists ranging from Madonna to Celine Dion, and from the Black Eyed Peas to Snoop Dogg. Now, you can have this legendary EQ right inside your DAW. The Mäag Audio EQ4’s unique design ensures exceptionally low phase shift across all EQ adjustments, maintaining the integrity of your mix’s original sound while enhancing the “airy” frequencies. Its renowned AIR BAND® interacts with the 5-band pass EQs, sculpting your tracks with unrivaled transparency and top-end presence. Unlike surgical EQs, the EQ4 is a musical EQ, ideal for sweetening tracks—particularly vocals—which is why top engineers choose it for their projects.

The plugin version includes several practical features, such as a LEVEL TRIM to adjust overall gain, detented controls for easily recallable settings, and ALT/click functionality to reset or revert each band, making it easy to bypass individual bands. Other useful updates include resizable windows, a peak level knob, and the option to switch between blue and black skins, which is especially helpful for session organization—e.g., blue for vocals and black for instruments.

With the Mäag EQ4 plugin 1.2 update from Plugin Alliance, additional enhancements come alongside the sleek Special Edition Black version, offering a stylish, modern look that stands out visually. Known for its transparent, musical EQ curves, the plugin continues to deliver the iconic sound of the Mäag EQ4 hardware, praised for its ability to enhance vocals, guitars, drums, and mix buses with clarity and depth. The AIR BAND® adds openness and sparkle to your tracks, making it ideal for high-end enhancement without harshness. The plugin faithfully emulates the 6-band EQ, including sub, low, low-mid, high-mid, and high frequencies, ensuring precise tone shaping while retaining warmth and character. Version 1.2 also brings improved stability, efficiency, and compatibility with modern DAWs for a smoother workflow. It also enhances preset management, making it easier to save, organize, and recall settings, streamlining mixing and mastering. Overall, this update maintains the EQ4’s integrity while providing a refreshed, optimized experience for producers, engineers, and mixers.
