Launched in 1970, the original Neve 1073 module is perhaps the world's most famous and desirable microphone preamp for recording vocals and instruments of all types. The first choice of countless leading producers and artists, the 1073 delivers the unique Neve sound featured on some of the most famous recordings of the past 40 years. The big, punchy sound of the 1073 classic compliments any musical genre from rock to pop, hip-hop to rap, thrash to classical.
And now it is available for your 500 Series rack.
Crafted in England by Neve engineers, the AMS Neve 1073LB retains the unique sonic characteristics of the original 1073 classic microphone preamplifier by using the same architecture, matching components and original hand-wound transformers. And it delivers it in a modern and portable form-factor that professional producers and engineers demand.
With new features like a fine TRIM control, switchable microphone input impedance, signal presence LED, intelligent protected switching of front combi-XLR input connector and Neve's clever Audio Processing Insert design, the 1073 LB takes your 500 Series rack to the next level.
Simply install into an empty slot in your compatible 500 Series rack, connect your microphone or line level signals and inject that legendary sound into your audio creations.
