Great River MEQ-1NV - Single Channel Mic Pre & EQ - Rack Mount

Great River MEQ-1NV - Single Channel Mic Pre & EQ - Rack Mount

The Great River MEQ-1NV is a single channel, channel strip combining the EQ-1NV 4 band equaliser and the ME-1NV microphone pre-amplifier.

The Great River EQ-1NV is a 1 channel desktop or rack-mountable 4 channel equaliser that modernizes and features similar topology to the classic British "1081/1083" type equalisers. The EQ-1NV improves on the classic EQ's with a newly designed Class-A discrete single-ended amplifiers and true capacitor circuitry which adds greater clarity and dynamic range.

The Great River ME-1NV is a single channel microphone pre-amplifier that modernizes and improves upon classic British design. Like all Great River products the ME-1NV features expert craftsmanship with a transparent and vintage harmonic sound.
