Details
Controls: Preamp: gain (5dB steps to 60dB)/output trim, polarity, phantom power, input impedance switch (1200/300 ohm), output loading switch, dual-stage metering. EQ: 4 bands (+/-15dB boost/cut), peak/shelf select, Q select, high-pass filter, hardwire bypass, input sensitivity/source select
I/O: Preamp: XLR mic in/out, front-panel Hi-Z DI, 1/4" -10dBV DAW output; EQ patched via internal TRS insert loop between the preamp's gain stages; EQ section also has its own XLR balanced line in/out and -10dBV DAW output
Notes: MSRP per manufacturer site, verified July 2026. MEQ-1NV = one ME-1NV preamp + one EQ-1NV, factory-paired with the EQ patched inline between the preamp's gain stages via a single TRS cable. FLAG: manufacturer's own combination page does not state whether this ships as two separate half-rack chassis or a single enclosure; rack_units=1 and 'pair' framing are inferred from ME-1NV/EQ-1NV each being spec'd as half-rack and the RK-2 kit description ('mount... one of each in a standard rack') — treat as a judgment call, not a confirmed single-chassis design. digital_control left blank because the EQ section is digitally controlled per its own product page while the preamp gain section is manually/analog-controlled — a single true/false would misrepresent one half of the unit.
