About Maag Audio
Mäag Audio is a US company founded in 2009 by sound engineer Cliff Mäag Sr. together with his sons Ryan and Cliff Jr. and Travis Allen. Cliff Mäag had already gained extensive experience in recording and mixing and, in the 1990s, had designed the NTI EQ3 and Nightpro EQ3D and PreQ3 equalizers, introducing the Air Band®, an equalization circuit dedicated to high frequencies. In 2011, Mäag Audio introduced the first product under its own brand, taking up and developing this technology. Over the years, the company has expanded its range with equalizers, microphone preamplifiers, and dynamics processors in rack and 500 Series formats, including the EQ4, EQ4M, PREQ4, and MAGNUM-K. The Air Band® remains a recurring feature of Mäag Audio products and consists of a shelving filter for high frequencies with center frequencies extended up to 40 kHz.
