Great River ME-1NV

Modernizing Vintage Sound

A single channel microphone preamp that is designed to give the classic ’70’s vintage sound all of today’s iron and performance standards! This desktop preamp unit brings to the table all of the integrity, accuracy, and sound ‘tunability’ as its predecessor, the MP-2NV. The MP-1NV breaks the barrier of entry for professional sound performance on a home or project studio budget.
