The extreme levels of stability achieved, coupled with almost friction free movement from the high precision hand matched bearing assemblies, guarantee to gather more information from your vinyl than ever before. You will also find a Rega made new low capacitance phono cables terminated with high specification phono plugs.

Rega is famed for its tonearm designs. One unique characteristic of these designs is the achievement of near frictionless movement horizontally and vertically whilst having no measurable free play in the bearing assemblies. A brand new low mass precision engineered vertical bearing assembly has been manufactured to further complement the inherent design philosophy of the Planar 8 turntable. The RB880 uses the latest Rega arm tube. Completely redesigned to redistribute mass and further reduce stresses and resonances. This advanced design tube increases the stiffness and rigidity of the overall assembly using CAD design to blend the multiple varying tapers.

Externally we have fitted a bespoke Rega designed low capacitance phono cable. Which uses an advanced phono plug assembly. This has only two parts to minimize joints and incorporates a twist and clamp design locking the plug to the terminal. The design increases connectivity and ensures the signal path is kept as clean as possible.

Near frictionless movement horizontally and vertically

The entire tonearm structure is designed to have the minimum of mechanical joints whilst using the stiffest materials in all critical areas. The tolerance of the RB3000 tonearm is so tight that no adhesive is used at any point throughout the construction. A brand new, low mass, precision engineered, vertical bearing assembly has been manufactured to further complement the inherent design philosophy of the Planar 10 turntable.

The RB3000 uses the latest award-winning Rega arm tube. Each one which is meticulously hand polished (keeping mass to an absolute minimum) and has been completely redesigned to redistribute mass and further reduce stresses and resonances. This advanced design tube increases the stiffness and rigidity of the overall assembly whilst reducing stress on the bearings even further.

The quest for perfect sounding audio in your house can be frustrating as virtually no space in a home is designed with sound reproduction in mind. 

McIntosh® Environmental Equalizer

Adjust the audio signal at 8 key bands in the 25Hz – 10kHz audio frequency range

TILT knob for further customization with subtle tonal balance shift of ±6dB

This can lead to constantly tinkering with acoustic treatments, changing speaker placement, or even rearranging furniture (which may not go over too well with other members of the household). Instead of wasting time fiddling with your system or room, take control of your sound with the MQ112 Environmental Equalizer and spend more time listening to your music.

In the relentless pursuit of perfect audio, we understand the frustration of adapting your living space for optimal sound reproduction. With the MQ112, you can make changes to the music itself so that room acoustic problems can be overcome. The results can be stunning and can make even a great sounding stereo system sound even better.

At the heart of the MQ112 lies an 8-band analog equalizer (also called a stereo equalizer) that allows you to increase or decrease the levels of the audio signal at 8 key bands in the 25Hz – 10kHz audio frequency range. Think of it as a sonic sculptor that allows you to finely tune the audio signal. With an impressive ±12dB range of adjustment for each band, you can easily cope with any sound challenge. The MQ112 is the solution you need to enhance or subdue particular instrument ranges or voice types, transforming your listening experience.

The MQ112 Environmental Equalizer does more than just fix room acoustics; it can also breathe new life into older, imperfect recordings. With the master precision of the MQ112, you can target specific frequencies, compensating for deficiencies in vintage tracks and unveiling their hidden brilliance.

The TILT knob, with its subtle tonal balance shift of ±6dB, allows you to customize your sound further. Boost the bass while reducing treble, or vice versa – the choice is yours. The EQ Control knob's IN and OUT settings let you bypass the entire equalizer circuit so you compare the adjusted sound to the original, unaltered version, ensuring you achieve the perfect audio profile. The equalizer can also be triggered IN or OUT using the rear panel’s EQ Control Trigger, giving you seamless control over when the MQ112 works its magic. Also, by using one of the programmable triggers in the audio system's preamplifier, the EQ can be switched IN or OUT depending on input or amplifier choice. Crafted with precision and versatility, the MQ112 boasts remarkably low noise circuits and minimal distortion, harmonizing seamlessly with high-performance audio systems.

Both balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs are included on the versatile MQ112, making it easy to add it to your stereo system: simply place it between the preamplifier and power amplifier(s) and connect them all together using the inputs and outputs of your choice. The input type you use does not have to match the output type; for example, you could connect a preamplifier (or another audio component with volume control like some CD Players) via the unbalanced inputs, but then connect the MQ112 to your power amplifier(s) with balanced cables via the balanced outputs. The MQ112 can also be used with integrated amplifiers, provided the integrated amp has removable jumpers so the preamplifier section can be disconnected from the power amplifier section.

The versatility of the MQ112 is further evident in its second pair of outputs, which opens a world of possibilities for enjoying your music. You can play the same music through a separate stereo system in another room, bi-amp a single pair of speakers for optimal sound control, or connect a subwoofer for that extra bass punch.

For subwoofers without stereo inputs, the second output on the MQ112 can be set to MONO; two subwoofers can also be connected this way. In more intricate systems, the MQ112 can be connected through PROCESSOR loops and TAPE MONITOR record/play connections found on many preamplifiers and integrated amplifiers.

The design of the MQ112 Environmental Equalizer is a testament to McIntosh's commitment to timeless aesthetics and high-quality materials. The black glass front faceplate, rotary control knobs, illuminated logo, and custom machined aluminum end caps are signature features of the brand. The back panel's Power Control ports allow for seamless integration with other McIntosh components, making it easy to turn the MQ112 on and off with the rest of your audio system.

At McIntosh, we don't just sell products; we inspire and educate. Join us on a journey to elevate your sound experience. Contact your local dealer today and embark on a sonic adventure like no other with the MQ112 Environmental Equalizer.

Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors

Solid conductors prevent both electrical and magnetic interaction strand-to-strand interaction, major sources of distortion. Surface quality is critical because a conductor can be considered as a rail-guide for both the fields within a conductor, and for the magnetic fields that extend outside the conductor. The astonishingly smooth and pure surface of all AudioQuests’s Perfect-Surface metals nearly eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to lesser materials. Extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Copper+ further minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries, which exist within any metal conductor, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers.

FEP Air-tube Insulation (FEP Is A Fluoro-Polymer)

Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then later released as distortion. Air, however, absorbs next to no energy, and FEP is the best extrudable solid insulation, absorbing less energy than other materials. The use of FEP Air-Tube insulation, with almost nothing but air around the solid conductors, improves the sound of an audio system's focus and dynamics.
