Mercenary Audio - Great River EQ-1NV Single Channel EQ

Like its 2 channel big brother the EQ-1NV features a custom input transformer, high headroom transformerless output and the choice of 5 different input levels [+8, +4, -2, -10 and -20 which can be used as an "instrument level" input] as well as the ability to connect directly to the insert point of the mic pre. When you couple the EQ-1NV with an ME-1NV you get the channel strip known as the MEQ-1NV which may be one of the most versatile recording paths ever invented.

Great River EQ-1NV features

The EQ-2NV and EQ-1NV equalizers are 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).

The equalizer is specifically designed to work with the NV series microphone preamplifiers' patch loop, for significantly greater headroom at one end, a lower overall noise floor, and overall greater musicality. When connected via the EQ-2NV's patchpoint, the microphone and DI inputs are fully functional, as well as the level control, metering and "big iron" of the MP-2NV's output amplifier. The equalizer also has a dis-crete class A balanced output stage, which allows it to function as a complete stand-alone device. It is available in single or dual channel models.
