The Maselec Pro Black Friday deal from Relab Development takes 23% off a two-plugin bundle, so it comes to $229 until Nov 30, 2026.
Maselec Pro pairs the MEA-2 Precision Stereo EQ with the MLA-4 Triband Compressor/Expander. Relab says both were developed in direct collaboration with engineer Leif Mases.
The MEA-2 is the plugin version of a mastering EQ the maker describes as the iconic EQ behind countless masters. Relab calls it the only officially endorsed plug-in version of the hardware.
It uses a hand-tuned asymmetrical Unique Q (Bandwidth) design plus Broad Shelving. The maker says the sound is transparent and musical.
The plugin version adds modern features for in-the-box work, including M/S per band.
The MLA-4 is a triband compressor/expander for mixing, mastering and stem processing. Relab calls it the first and only officially endorsed software recreation of the hardware unit.
The maker says it shapes dynamics in a natural, musical way with precise multiband control. Three software-only features are called out:
Relab describes uses such as refining a final master, shaping a mix bus and restoring dynamics in a crushed stem.
