Authentic Neve 1073 Channel Strip for the Modern Studio Coveted by top engineers and producers since its introduction in 1970, the Neve 1073 channel amplifier represents the Holy Grail of characterful microphone preamplification and the epitome of definitive “British EQ.” The 1073 mic/line input module defined the punchy, authoritative sound of the legendary Neve 80-series consoles that dominated professional recording studios in the Golden Age of Analog. Today, you can obtain this iconic sound for your studio with the AMS Neve 1073SPX Mic/Line/DI Preamp & EQ rackmount unit. Built to the exact specifications of the original with matched components to ensure sonic authenticity, and updated with modern features to meet the demands of today’s studio workflows, the 1073SPX is a powerful, flexible channel strip that gives you a rich tonal palette for making audacious statements with your music.

What's in the Box?
- Neve 1073SPX Neve 1073® Class A Design Microphone Preamp and EQ
- Genuine 1073® transformer-coupled microphone preamplifier / EQ circuit, in a single 1U 19″ rack-mount enclosure
- Exclusive Neve® Marinair® transformers used on input and output stages
- Convenient connections for Mic, Line & DI inputs on the front of the unit, with switchable mic/line input connections on the rear of the unit
- Switchable +48v Phantom Power, Hi/Lo impedance, -20dB pad and DI ground lift on the input stage
- Switchable Phase and EQ in/out
- Insert send and return loop feature allows external equipment to be connected easily to the 1073SPX audio chain, such as mono limiter/compressors;
- Pre-EQ insert send/return – a line level send is available from the mic-preamp output stage and a return just before the EQ stage
- Post-EQ insert send/return – a line level send is available from the post-EQ stage and a return just before the main output stage
- 7-stage LED signal level meter – can show mic/line/DI input-stage level, EQ-stage level or output-stage level up to +24dB
- Output level control
- External multi-voltage PSU
- Power – 48Vdc, 250mA ±20mA excluding digital module. Negative Earth
Preamp Specification
- Microphone Input: Gain +80db to +20dB in 5dB steps.
- Line Input: Input impedance 10kΩ, gain +20dB to -10dB in 5dB steps
- DI Input: Input impedance 10M Ohms (PAD off) / 10K Ohms (PAD on) Gain +80dB to +20dB in 5dB steps
EQ Specification
- High Frequency: Smooth +/-16dB fixed frequency shelving at 12kHz
- Low Frequency: Smooth +/-16dB shelving with selectable frequencies of 35Hz, 60Hz, 110Hz & 220Hz
