The 1073-5T is famously known in the audio world as a “Turbo Neve”. Providing up to 75dB of gain the circuit consists of the classical 1073 dual input stage with two BA284 cards which retain the clarity and low end of the original 1073 while adding further harmonic distortion and coloration with the aid of an all tube output stage paired with a US-made 5:1 steel output transformer.
A UK made Carnhill input transformer, Tantalum, Polystyrene and Vishay capacitors, a premium selected tube and a custom US-made steel output transformer are all inside the Stam Audio 1073-5T. Each part has been carefully auditioned and selected to impart the same character and sound that these units are known for and will last decades to come.
Each unit comes with phantom power, impedance and polarity switch and a built in DI. We assemble all our units by hand at our lab in Chile which allows us to audition and measure parts prior to assembling them so that every unit sounds exactly the same and is built with the same quality.
