Neve 1073LBEQ 500 Series EQ Module

Neve 1073LBEQ 500 Series EQ Module

The Neve 1073LBEQ 500 Series EQ Module is the EQ section of the classic 1073 in 500 Series form. It has no mic preamp: it is a line-level equaliser with the 1073 high shelf, mid peak, low shelf and high-pass filter, built with the same circuit architecture and components as the original.

Use it on its own on any line-level source, or fit it next to a 1073LB mic preamp and link the two with Neve's Audio Processing Insert to build a complete 1073 channel in two slots.
