Neve 1084

Back in the day, the 1084 preamp/EQ module was introduced to improve upon the now-legendary 1073. The same Class A design was there, but a few more frequencies were added. And the addition of "Q" control, making some of the bands semi-parametric, gave the user the ability to dial in subtle amounts of "air" or notch out offending frequencies. These originals started to go for crazy money -- when you could find them. Now Neve has decided to do us all a huge service and re-manufacture 1084's to exact specifications. This was not easy; many components were out of production and had to be fabricated from scratch. But the results are stunning. Now you can have the real deal, brand new. The vintage sound without the vintage headache.
