Great River MP-2NV

This single-rack-space pair of preamps offer the same definitive sonic fidelity and expert craftsmanship as all Great River products, with the ability to fine-tune gain effects like 1970's-era 1073's. Transparency and vintage harmonic structure are both achieved with NV-Series preamps.

The Great River MP-2NV 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 Great River MP-2NV is a fundamentally important audio tool that brings out the best in every microphone and instrument.

• '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

• Excellent stereo imaging (nearly identical phase response channel-to-channel)

• Multiple In/Out connections: XLR balanced; ¼" -10dbV output for 'no-latency' DAW monitoring; high-Z input on front panel (disconnects mic input): TRS ¼ insert patch point for compressor or equalizer ahead of the output amplifier

• Adjustable gain stages: input in 5db steps to 60db; output from -25 to +10db; maximum overall gain 70db; 2 to 3 stages of single ended solid state amplifier gain blocks, depending on gain structure; high-current 70ma Class A bias on output stage

• Input and output meters on each channel (dual-stage metering is a Great River exclusive)

• Front panel switches: polarity; phantom power; input impedance (1200 / 300 ohm); output loading (600 ohm resistor across output transformer)

• High quality, custom wound Sowter transformers

• Gold plated switching contacts

• Local power supply regulation on each channel

• 110 or 220 volt operation with external selection, either 50 or 60 Hz

• Single rack space with internal power supply
