Official description
The NV500 is our take on the classic Neve 1073/1290 Mic Pre but heavily reworked to give you much more. Firstly the input impedance is fully variable between 200ohm and 1200ohm instead of switched which give you a great tone/speed control to help balance the mic pre tone without adding extra EQ. The NV500 runs directly from the +/-16v rails of any API 500 rack without the use of any inverters.


 * Balanced in Rack XLR which is switched to 1meg Fet DI input when jack plugged in.
 * 48v phantom power switch with red LED indicator for rack XLR in.
 * (All below features work for XLR and DI input.)
 * Phase switch.
 * 20dB pad switch
 * Input transformer inline.
 * Variable Impedance 200ohm to 1k2 with centre detent at starting Z point.
 * 80Hz HPF switch with orange Led indicator.
 * Gain switch in 12 x 5dB steps from 20dB to 75dB.
 * Output trim pot with -5dB to 0dB range (with pot knob pulled out -90dB to 0dB range).
 * Huge output transformer (same size as Neve LO1166).
 * Internal jumper for output ground lift.
 * Internal JLM 8 buss connector with jumper settings.
 * Double sided Gold plated rear edge connector.
 * And of course the DI jack is backlit soft blue so you can find it in the dark
