Neve 1073OPX 8-Channel Mic Preamp with Dante/USB Digital

The Neve 1073OPX 8-Channel Mic Preamp with Dante/USB Digital is eight genuine 1073 preamps in one rack unit, designed for modern studios, live rooms and broadcast. Every channel can be set from the front panel or remotely from the 1073OPX app, and settings are recalled automatically.

Each mic input runs through a Marinair transformer for the familiar 1073 sound, and gain moves in precise 1dB steps. Front and rear inputs with independent switching mean the OPX can live permanently in a patched rack while still offering quick front-panel access. A separate stereo monitor path lets you monitor any preamp without latency or use the OPX as an analogue summing mixer.

This unit is fitted with the Dante/USB digital card, which adds AD/DA conversion up to 192kHz for all eight preamps plus a stereo digital monitor return. Dual Dante ports give redundant audio-over-IP connection, and class-compliant USB 2.0 turns the OPX into a complete studio audio interface.

  • Eight remote-controllable 1073 mic/line/instrument preamps
  • Marinair transformers on the microphone inputs; Class A transformerless DI inputs
