Neve 1073 Stereo Pack with 2 Classic Modules & 3U Rack

Neve 1073 Stereo Pack with 2 Classic Modules & 3U Rack

The Neve 1073 Stereo Pack with 2 Classic Modules & 3U Rack is a ready-to-use stereo pair: two hand-wired Neve 1073 Classic modules fitted in the Neve 3U two-slot rack with integral power supply. It is ideal for stereo overheads, room mics or piano, or as two matching channels for vocals and instruments.

Each module has the Class A transformer mic preamp, three-band inductor EQ and high-pass filter of the original 1073.

Features

• Class A, transformer-coupled 1073 microphone preamp with up to 80dB of gain in 5dB steps
• Three-band inductor EQ: fixed 12kHz high shelf, six-position mid peak and four-position low shelf
• Four-position 18dB/octave high-pass filter
• EQ in/out and phase reverse switches
• Selectable 300Ω or 1200Ω microphone input impedance
• Transformer-balanced, earth-free inputs and output
• Hand-built and hand-wired by Neve in Burnley, England, to the original design
• 3U rack with integral PSU, phantom power and output gain controls

What's Included

• 2 × Neve 1073 Classic mono modules (horizontal)
• 1 × Neve 2-slot 3U rack with integral PSU
