Mercury Grand Pre/1 (GP1) - Single Channel
Mercury Grand Pre Class A Discrete Microphone Amplifier
"For many years we have had access to most "vintage" equipment in the marketplace. We have racked many of those vintage modules including Telefunken, Siemens, Neve, Audix, Langevin, Calrec and many others. The PQ15s has always been a favorite and I personally prefer it to the other "British" Pre/ EQ modules of the similar type. I always thought it was a shame that there was not an affordable way to get the great sound of that Pre/Eq module in the form of just a stand alone Microphone Amplifier (without out the EQ). There have been other options available like vintage line amp modules that can be converted to micpres, which sound good, but do not have the exact sound of the Pre/EQ modules. With the Mercury Grand Pre we have provided what I have wanted to do for years... which is to build a Solid State, Discrete microphone amplifier with the 70's "British" vibe which has all the rounded punch but more musicality than you are used to hearing. The Mercury Grand Pre is more open and musical then other similar amplifiers of the same type and topology. Just to be perfectly clear... the Mercury Grand Pre is not another "Twelve Seventy Two" clone. Instead, the Mercury Grand Pre is the new, Alternative British Classic!" -- Dave Marquette. | List $1300.00 |
Mercury AM16/1 - Single Channel
Mercury AM16 Class A Discrete Microphone Amplifier
The Mercury AM16 is a 19" rack mountable version of the original American, modular, transistor type preamplifier built in the 1960's. The AM16 is well known for being over all very musical, open and airy on the top end and having a tube-like "air" characteristic not found in most amplifiers of the same type. Features include: Input Pad (-24dB) as well as a Adjustable Input (Pad) Attenuator (-0, -6, -12, -18 and -24dB), Phantom (48V), Phase Reverse (Polarity), an Output Control (Fader) and a newly designed FET Direct Input, per channel. The Mercury AM16's internally mounted power supply uses a toroidal transformer and is regulated for super low noise and stable performance. In addition each amplifier channel is locally regulated to eliminate cross talk between channels. The Mercury AM16 is housed in a beautiful, gray hammer finish, steel chassis and the aluminum front (control) panel has a custom powder coated finish giving the Mercury AM16 the look and feel of the "vintage" original. | List $1300.00 |
Mercury M76m/1 - Single Channel
Mercury M76m/1 Class A Discrete Microphone Amplifier First, Mercury Recording Equipment successfully recreated the original V72s, the amplifier used on early Beatles recordings, with their highly regarded Mercury M72s. Now, with the Mercury M76m, they have brought to life the V72s' "big brother" the V76m. The Mercury M76m is a recreation of the original German designed Telefunken / Siemens amplifier modules used in many European broadcast and recording desks. V76 modules, however, are more well known as an outboard rack mounted preamp, and are highly sought after by studios and engineers all over the world. Of all the V76 amplifiers, the "V76m" has always been the most desired because of its useful variable gain control. These have not been available new for 40 years, however, and working vintage units have become extremely rare and expensive. Furthermore, due to its overly compact modular design, the V76 modules are now, after four decades, not as mechanically sound as they once were. This causes problems sonically. With that in mind, Mercury Recording Equipment has recreated the transformer balanced, four tube per channel, high gain amplifier. Keeping the integrity of the original circuit, the M76m has open, warm tonality with the important variable gain feature. | List $2500.00 |
Mercury M72S/1 - Single Channel
Mercury M72s/1 Class A Discrete Microphone Amplifier
In the mid-sixties, at Abbey Road Studios, legends were born-- not just the Beatles or George Martin, but also the REDD.37 recording desk that was used to record most of their earlier work. The very rare amplifiers used in that desk were called "V72s" and were a modified version of the standard Telfunken/Siemens V72 module. The more common V72 amplifier modules were later modified and have been sold for many years as outboard preamplifiers all over the world. These V72 modules have not been available new for 40 years, and working units have become extremely rare and expensive. It is the uniquely musical tonal characteristics of these preamps have made them the prized posession of many engineers lucky enough to get the vintage modules, and a "secret weapon" for many studio musicians. With that in mind, Mercury Recording Equipment has made a faithful reproduction in the M72s-- not only of how the units behave, but of how they SOUND overall. The addition of pad, phase, phantom and gain controls make it even more versatile without sacrificing the most important feature: Musicality. | List $1900.00 |
