MERCURY RECORDING EQUIPMENT

Mercury Recording Equipment Co., founded in 1999 by David Marquette, blends historical reverence with modern innovation to recreate the golden era of recording equipment. Inspired by the warm, musical sounds of American and European tube and solid-state equipment from the 1950s to the early 1970s, Mercury started with creations like the MERCURY 66, a nod to the iconic Fairchild 660. The company’s dedication to quality and craftsmanship extends to its full product line, which includes tributes to classic equipment like the MERCURY EQ-H1 and EQ-P1 tube equalizers, reminiscent of the early professional tube EQs.

Expanding from a custom shop ethos, Mercury Recording Equipment Co. offers a suite of meticulously handcrafted products, including microphone amplifiers and direct input boxes, each designed to capture the essence of vintage sound. With continuous innovation led by David and his team, including designer John Hinson, Mercury remains a bastion of boutique audio equipment, proudly built in the United States. Their vision is not to be the largest in the industry but to uphold the integrity and passion of vintage audio equipment, ensuring each piece resonates with quality and historical significance.
