The Moog MKPE Three Band Parametric Equalizer is a vintage analog equalizer introduced in the late 1970s as part of Moog's professional audio equipment line. This rack-mounted unit features three parametric bands, each offering adjustable frequency, bandwidth (Q or width here), and gain (height here) controls. Renowned for its warm and musical sound, the MKPE allows precise tonal shaping, making it a valuable tool for both studio and live sound applications. Its robust construction and distinctive Moog aesthetic have contributed to its enduring appeal among audio professionals and enthusiasts.

Each of the MKPE's three bands provides extensive frequency overlap. This wide range allows for precise targeting of specific frequencies. The unit offers up to ±20 dB of boost or cut per band, facilitating significant tonal adjustments. A unique "Drive" control adjusts the gain structure within the equalizer, enabling users to introduce harmonic coloration by driving the internal circuitry harder.
