Better together! This combo includes (1) ME1-NV and (1) EQ1-NV all racked and ready to go. The Great River MEQ-1NV is an exceptionally versatile package as you can use the pre or the EQ independently... or when used to together you get the option of 3 different outputs when tracking [the transformer balanced based output or the unbalanced output of the ME-1NV or the transformerless balanced [with +32 headroom!!!] output of the equalizer. You can also get many different tones from the mic pre using a combination of gain scaling and adding units to the insert point before or after the EQ-1NV. On line level signal you can run into the mic pre, again having the availability of gain scaling options as well as the sound of the "iron" [transformers] in the path, or go straight into the EQ with 6 different input level options so you can run the EQ as clean or dirty as you desire. Great River EQ1-NV Mercenary Edition Single Channel EQ The EQ-1NV equalizer is loosely based on the topology of vintage 1081/1083 models. The newly designed class A, discrete single ended amplifiers in the EQ-NV Series bring greater clarity and dynamic range to the musicality and control of the 108x models. The line input is a transformer coupled bridging type, with sensitivity options ranging from elevated line level (+8dbm) down to keyboard and semi-pro levels(-20dbm). Application: Great River ME1-NV Mercenary Edition Single Channel Mic Pre The ME1-NV
has identical audio components as the MP-2NV. Power supply is downsized to fit and not cause noise problems, yet still more than adequately power one channel. Based on the preamps found in old Neve™ 1073 modules, Great River added a twist. While the circuit is basically the same, different components were chosen for a lower noise floor, an extended frequency response and better bass clarity. While the unit sounds similar to a 1073, the user experiences a larger, more open sound field which is especially helpful if you are storing your audio in the digital domain.. Working with Dan Kennedy at Great River, and the folks at Sowter transformers, we came up with a special, custom transformer specifically for the Great River MP-1NV & MP-2NV "Mercenary Editions". The idea was to build a transformer that would have all the "size" and "thunder" that you would find in the pre-amp of an original Neve™ 1073, but without the 'haze' and 'mush' that can accumulate when you run a whole bunch of tracks through a 1073.
