100% discrete 500 Series mic preamp based on the 1073, 80dB of Gain, Neve Marinair Transformers, Gain and Trim Controls, 48V Phantom Power, Polarity Reverse



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.

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.

    Great Neve Tone!
    Very happy with the AMS Neve 1073LB - it provides that beautiful vintage neve tone and makes everything that passes thru it sound like gold. Recently used it on acoustic guitar with an earthworks mic - wonderful! Would recommend.

    Fantastique?!!
    Je me suis procuré récemment un preamp Neve 1073 LB. Au-delà de la légende et de la réputation, la qualité des produits NEVE était nouvelle pour moi. Dans un premier temps, je dois dire WOW?!, ce préamp associé à un bon microphone est tout simplement incroyable pour les voix. Read more

    Sounds like our vintage Neve
    Super happy with our Neve 1073LB. Has same Neve awesomeness as our vintage Neve mic-pre. So far the only notable difference is at very high gains (65+) - the 1073LB has less noise than our original.

    Could be the years on our original, but either way, Read more

    Great Preamp!
    Not surprising that this pre sounds amazing. I'm extremely happy I bought it. I'm definitely interested in the other Neve lunchbox modules and it's great that I can eventually get the 1073 EQ and have it inserted before the output transformer of the pre (like the classic standalone 1073 module) even though they'd be side by side in the lunchbox.

    Classic vintage neve sound!
    For the price, you can't beat this 500 series mic pre! If you're looking for the Neve sound, this is it! Thanks to Louis for encouraging the API lunchbox, great combo!

    Great Neve sound
    Le son Neve a un prix moindre. Combiné avec un R121 devant un ampli de guitar, cest un charme. A avoir dans son lunchbox.

    Préamp excellent
    Ce préamp sonne vraiment comme un Neve classique, il devient un élément important pour des highs très soyeux et des basses bien présentes. Le panneau est bien disposé, facile à reprendre et précis quand il le faut avec l'ajustement secondaire. Read more
