Launched in 1970, the 1073 is the first choice of leading producers and artists, delivering the unique Neve sound on some of the most famous recordings of the past 30 years. The big, punchy sound of the 1073 compliments any musical genre - from rock to pop, hip-hop to rap, thrash to classical. The Class A design 1073 microphone preamplifier features 3 bands of EQ, with one fixed high frequency band, two switchable bands with cut and boost capability, and a high pass filter. All Neve channel amplifiers are designed to accept signals from a wide range of microphone and line sources. The Neve 1073 mic pre and EQ combination adds warmth and depth to recordings, brings out subtle ambience, maintains spatial positioning, and more effectively captures a precise image. That's why the 1073 mic preamp is considered by many to be the very essence of the Neve sound.FEATURES:Classic transformer microphone preamp amp ( Class A Design )3 EQ bands ( Class A Design )HP filter Neve designed hand-wound transformers Both inputs are transformer balanced and earth free The 1073 can be purchased as single or multiple units.
