Neve 1073N Standalone Mono Mic Preamp & EQ

Neve 1073N Standalone Mono Mic Preamp & EQ

The Neve 1073N Standalone Mono Mic Preamp & EQ is a complete 1073 channel that works on its own. It keeps the Class A mic preamp, three-band inductor EQ and high-pass filter of the 1073 Classic, and adds a built-in power supply, its own I/O connectors, phantom power and a front-panel DI input.

Use it as a standalone channel strip on the desk, or fit it into a compatible Neve rack or 80 Series console when you need to.

Features
