Maselec MEA-2 Black Friday pricing takes 35% off this stereo EQ plugin from Relab Development, bringing it to $129 until Nov 30, 2026.
The Maselec MEA-2 Precision Stereo EQ is a plugin version of a mastering-grade hardware equalizer. It was developed in exclusive collaboration with engineer Leif Mases.
The maker says it is the only officially endorsed plug-in of the hardware.
It is a stereo EQ built around two design choices the maker highlights.
The maker describes the plugin as a classic updated for a modern workflow, with the M/S per band option as one of the additions.
That M/S switch is set per band. You can work on the mid and side content of a stereo mix without committing the whole EQ to one mode.
The maker describes the hardware as a mastering-grade EQ. It says the plugin carries over the craftsmanship and precision of that unit.
The Maselec MEA-2 VST is available for both Mac and Windows, in 64-bit formats.
The maker says it is compatible with all major DAWs.

You can authorize on the local computer, or use an iLok USB key (V2 or above). Either way, you need a free PACE iLok account, an internet connection and the latest PACE drivers at the moment of activation.
If you already run other Relab Development plugins, the authorization routine will look familiar.
