AMS Neve 1073 Microphone Preamp & Equalizer
Description
The AMS Neve 1073 Mic Preamp & Equalizer is an exact reproduction of Rupert Neve’s original 10-series modular preamp, responsible for more classic vocal and instrument tracks than any other mic amp.
This is the original modular design of the (insert words of praise here) 1073 preamp, the world’s most used and most copied preamp that pro audio has to offer. The AMS Neve 1073 Mic Preamp and EQ not only fit AMS Neve vertical power racks, but it can also be used as a replacement module for vintage 80-series consoles, such as the 8068. The 1073 Mic Preamp and EQ is completely handcrafted by Neve’s dedicated professionals to the exact specifications of the original modules. To ensure the sound remains true to the original, AMS Neve spared no expense acquiring the original components, including the custom Neve-designed Marinair™ input and output transformers that give the 1073 its depth and sonic richness. The 1073 is universally considered to be the essence of the “Neve” sound.
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, and a high pass filter. All Neve channel amplifiers are designed to accept signals from a wide range of microphone and line sources.
