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

Launched in 1970, the 1073^® Classic soon became the first choice mic preamp for leading producers and artists.

Designed and built in England, the modern-day 1073^® N is produced to the exact specifications of the original, matching components to ensure the sound remains true.  The Class A design 1073^® N microphone preamplifier has 3-band EQ (fixed HF plus two switchable bands with cut/boost capability) and a high pass filter. The 1073^® N 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 1073^® N 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 retrofit into 80 Series Neve^®  classic consoles.  Neve – no question.
