From Our Research Team:

A Modern Mic Preamp with Vintage Sound!

The MP-2NV is a Great River Electronics preamplifier that takes the classic circuitry and vintage sound of the 1073 module to a new level of modern sonic fidelity. Accuracy, transparency, and vintage "tuning" amplify this design goal. The circuitry allows for brilliant transformer saturation or the soft distortions of a single-ended amplifier. Extreme pushing of the unit will augment the sound of electric guitars, sound modules, and drums to add vitality, presence, and real punch.

Vintage Sound
The Great River MP-2NV features iron in the signal path for that big vintage sound. Its no-latency output monitoring provides a buffered sound feed to your DAW workstation. The MP-2NV's high-Z input is ideal to shape the sound for bass, electric guitar, and sound modules. Dual metering provides visual monitoring of gain staging. The ultra-quiet noise floor delivers "stealth" performance for rich, textured vocal sounds. Finally, you'll hear an enhanced stereo image when using both channels of the MP-2NV.


Great River Electronics MP-2NV Preamplifier Features:
  • XLR balanced in and out connections
  • 1/4" -10dbV output for 'no-latency' DAW monitoring
  • High-Z input on front panel
  • Adjustable gain in 5db steps to 60db
  • Output gain from -25 to +10db; maximum overall gain 70db
  • Input and output monitor meters on each channel
  • 2 or 3 stages of single ended solid-state amplifier gain blocks
  • Gold plated switching contacts
  • Front panel polarity, phantom power, input impedance, and output loading switches
  • High quality, custom wound Sowter transformers
  • Output transistor and transformer with heavy 70ma Class A bias
  • Local regulating of each channel
  • Long service life components

Great Preamp

This preamp is a studio workhorse. It is one of the best general purpose preamps out there. Sonically it's fairly clean, but the tone is variable because there are separate knobs for input and outpu... read more [+]t levels in addition to a button that switches the impedance. Also the DIs are fantastic for synths/basses/guitars and have rock-solid low end. close [-]

Excellent Pre amp.

I bought the Great River preamp just on two years ago, and have found it to be great on virtually everything, from vocals through to bass,guitar and keyboards. It is especially useful with ribbon mics... read more [+], and the variable impedance loading feature, while rather subtle, does make a difference to the sound when the track is played back. It's quiet, and has a lot of gain on tap. I has hi-z inputs also, which is a bonus. As always, try it out, if possible, to see if it suits your needs, and has the sound characteristics you're after. If you're after a good allrounder, check it out. I give it a solid thumbs up. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Andrew Stryffeler
The Great River MP2NV is a favorite of mine. I love putting vocals through this for added color and warmth. I never hesitate using it on guitar and demand them for drum overheads. Whatever it is I am recording I do not hesitate to use this pre to add character. It does not matter how many MP2NVs the studio has, it never seems like enough!

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
