he McIntosh MQ107 is an environmental equalizer designed for audiophiles who want to take control of their room acoustics without letting digital processors ruin the purity of their analog signal. It’s a vintage analog masterpiece from McIntosh, made for those who understand that even the best speakers can be held hostage by bad room acoustics. The MQ107 gives you a chance to fight back, fine-tuning your system's sound by compensating for the acoustic anomalies of your listening environment.

Frequency Response: 20Hz to 20,000Hz +/- 0.5dB. Hum and Noise: 90dB (79uV) below 2.5V flat response; 85dB (140uV) below 2.5V worst case. Harmonic and Intermodulation Distortion: less than 0.02% at 2.5V output 20Hz to 20,000Hz.
Low Frequency Compensation: Variable from 0 to +17dB at 20Hz.
Input Sensitivity: 2.5V into 27k ohms for rated output with controls set for flat response.
High Frequency Compensation: Variable +/-10dB at 20,000Hz.
Output Level and Impedance: 2.5V into 10k ohms or more with the output level at zero and all other controls set for flat response.
Programmable Filters: 14 sections (7 per channel) each of which can be programmed for standard 1/3 octave center frequencies from 20Hz to 1000Hz.
Filter bandwidth is programmable for narrow (approx. 1/3 octave) or wide (approx. 1 octave).
Amplitude is continuously adjustable +/- 12dB for narrow and +/-15 dB for wide.
A detented control is used to position for flat response.
Programming is achieved by means of plug-in capacitors provided with the MQ 107.

- Packing
- Prepare to be impressed. We have arguably the best packing process around. We use our InstaPak machine and white open cell foam to build a custom enclosure for your piece that ensures that it's stable and secure. If it is particularly fragile or heavy, we typically opt for private courier delivery. Depending on where you are in the country, that may cost a bit extra.
- Shipping
- This piece ships to the contiguous United States for a flat rate of $50, which includes our packaging and our insurance. Of course, we'll ship anywhere in the world, just drop us a line and we'll give you an estimate – even if you're just curious.
