Description

Here’s what Neve have to say about the 1073 Preamp: 

The 1073®  is the mic preamp of choice for numerous leading producers and artists, delivering the unique Neve®  sound featured on some of the most famous recordings of the past 40 years.

A superb addition to the Neve® outboard range, providing two of our world-famous Class A 1073® microphone preamplifiers in a single rackspace.

The big, punchy sound of the 1073® compliments any musical genre, from rock to pop, hip-hop to rap, thrash to classical. Its lush sound with classic Neve® signature makes it the consummate mic pre for recording vocals, guitars, and acoustic instruments of all descriptions. With the 1073®DPA, the highly sought-after 1073® mic amp sound is now available in a cost-effective 1U stereo rackmount solution, without the additional EQ found on the classic 1073 unit.

The 1073®DPA provides the legendary sound of Neve in a remarkably simple format. Two rear-panel Mic inputs and Line inputs feed dual Class A gain stages, with adjustable Gain control and selectable 48V available on the Mic inputs. Class A analogue outputs in XLR format are also found on the rear panel, controlled via adjustable front-panel ±10dB Trim controls. This stereo unit is the perfect solution for studios looking to bring in the very essence of the legendary 1073® sound.

Neve is represented in the current MicPro catalogue by 1073 SPX and 1073 DPA microphone preamps. The listed range is relevant to classic-style microphone preamplification and tone shaping. When comparing these products, check channel format, gain, input impedance, phantom power, EQ or processing, outputs, rack space and converter connection. It suits recording chains that want a dedicated preamp stage, with the model deciding the available channels and controls. This description is kept catalogue-led, so the individual model listing remains the source for exact specifications, compatibility and included accessories.

Microphone Preamps

Microphone preamps raise a low-level microphone signal to a usable line or converter level while adding gain, headroom and the character of the input stage. Compare available gain, equivalent input noise, input impedance, phantom power, pad, polarity or phase, metering, transformer or valve stages and any built-in EQ or compression. The catalogue includes standalone, rack, 500-series and multi-channel designs, so confirm the format and connections before purchase. A preamp should match the microphone’s output and the rest of the recording chain without adding unnecessary noise or gain stages.
