Neve Ams 1073N Mic Pre/Eq

Found on some of the most famous recordings of the past 40 years, the big, punchy sound of the Neve 1073 complements any musical genre – from rock to rap to classical.  The quality is legendary.

The Class A design Neve 1073N microphone preamplifier has 3-band EQ (fixed HF plus two switchable bands with cut/boost capability) and a high pass filter. The Neve 1073N mic pre and EQ combination adds warmth and depth to recordings, brings out subtle ambience, maintains spatial positioning, and captures a more precise image – embodying, think many engineers and producers, the essence of the Neve sound.

Building on the 1073 classic module features, the 1073N introduces extra functionality with an integrated DI input, I/O connectors for direct connection of microphones and instruments and other equipment, phantom power for powered microphones and a PSU for standalone use. It can also be fitted into compatible racks/housings or retrofitted into 80 Series Neve Classic consoles.  Neve – no question.
