PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Great River ME-1NV single-channel mic preamp greatly modernizes and improves classic British design. This “desktop” (and rackable) preamp offers the same definitive sonic fidelity and expert craftsmanship as all Great River products, with the ability to fine-tune gain effects like 1970s-era 1073s. Transparency and vintage harmonic structure are both achieved with NV-Series preamps.

The ME-1NV achieves “new classic” performance status with two discrete Class-A gain stages (the dual gain-stage meters are a Great River exclusive), a front-panel DI input jack which is routed via FET through the input transformer (also unique to Great River preamps) for must-hear-to-believe sound from all Hi-Z instruments, and a discrete high-current Class-A "big iron" transformer-coupled output amplifier. The ME-1NV is a fundamentally important audio tool that brings out the best in every microphone and instrument.

FEATURES:

Big Iron Vintage Sound from custom-wound transformers
No-latency output monitoring for DAW users
High-Z input is ideal for bass, guitar, and sound modules (FET-buffered and routed into the input transformer, a Great River exclusive)
Gain stage monitoring via dual meters (also a Great River exclusive)
Ultra quiet noise floor for outstanding performance at any gain setting
