Neve 1073 DPA
|
What more can be said about the 1073 that hasn't already been said? Since its 60's origins, it has been the mic pre/EQ that sets the standard for all others. Period. Effectively unavailable for years, Neve painstakingly re-created the legendary module to exact specification. It wasn't easy (you try custom-winding transformers that have not been manufactured in decades!) but it was surely worth the wait.

Two Legendary 1073 Mic Preamps 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 1073DPA, 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. Like all Neve studio products, the 1073DPA is hand-crafted and hand-wired by Neve’s dedicated professionals in Burnley, England.
The 1073DPA provides the legendary sound of Neve in a remarkably simple to operate 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 Trim control, +/-10dB. This stereo unit is the perfect solution for studios looking to bring in the very essence of the legendary Neve 1073 sound.
Heritage
Originally fitted to the custom console for Wessex A88, the 1073 module was used extensively during the 1970s on the Neve Consoles that helped define recording techniques for a generation of classic records. The Neve 1073 is the most sought after, and most copied microphone preamplifier in the world. It is small wonder that when asked which one piece of audio gear they could not live without, more professionals chose the Neve 1073 than any other single item.
