Neve 1073DPA & Josephson C42MP Matched Pair Bundle

Neve 1073DPA & Josephson C42MP Matched Pair Bundle

The Neve 1073DPA & Josephson C42MP Matched Pair Bundle pairs a Neve 1073DPA two-channel mic preamp with a matched pair of Josephson C42 small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphones. It is a complete stereo recording chain for acoustic guitar, piano, drum overheads, strings and ensembles.

The 1073DPA gives you two genuine 1073 Class A preamps in 1U. The C42's discrete FET electronics and transformerless Class A output drive long cable runs cleanly. It is specified for 48V phantom power and will run from as low as 24V, with some reduction in maximum SPL.

Features

• Two 1073 Class A microphone preamps in a 1U rackmount unit
• Neve-designed transformers for the classic 1073 character
• Rear-panel mic and line inputs with input selector on each channel
• Gain and ±10dB output trim controls per channel
• Switchable +48V phantom power and phase reverse per channel
• Balanced XLR analogue outputs
• Josephson C42 matched pair: small-diaphragm cardioid condensers with discrete Class A electronics

What's Included

• 1 × Neve 1073DPA dual mic preamp
• 1 × Josephson C42MP matched pair (2 × C42 microphones)
