Rane ME-30

Not much information on the Rane ME-30 has survived. The clearest record is a product listing in DB Magazine (September 1991, p.62). It places the ME-30 next to the ME 15 in Rane's MicroGraphic Equalizer line. Both are single-rackspace units with constant-Q response, switchable ±6/12 dB boost/cut, input-level control, hard-wire bypass, and 20 mm center-detent sliders. The same listing gives dimensions of 1.75 × 19 × 5.25 inches, a weight of 5 lbs., and prices of $359 and $369 for the two models.

No full editorial review of the ME-30 has surfaced in the archive, and no production years are documented. It appears to have been Rane's compact entry into professional graphic equalization.
