Neve 1073DPX Dual Mic Preamp & EQ

Neve 1073DPX Dual Mic Preamp & EQ

The Neve 1073DPX Dual Mic Preamp & EQ puts two complete 1073 channels, each with mic preamp, three-band inductor EQ and high-pass filter, in a 2U rackmount unit. It is a natural choice for stereo pairs such as piano or drum overheads, or for tracking two different sources at once, such as vocal and acoustic guitar.

Marinair transformers on the mic input, line input and output stages give it the classic 1073 sound. Front-panel DI inputs, insert loops, LED metering and a headphone output make it easy to use in a modern studio.
