Neve 1073DPD - Dual Preamp w/Digital OP - B-Stock
The Neve 1073DPD is a dual channel 1073 preamp with the addition of flexible 192kHz digital output capabilities, alongside analogue outputs which can be used simultaneously. The 1073DPD also has an ADC insert point, allowing you to make benefit from high-resolution A/D conversion with any other analogue equipment you have. This feature allows for the insertion of external analogue processors into the DPD’s signal path by feeding the analogue output into an outboard compressor, then back into the ADC insert to appear digitally to your audio interface.
This is a B-Stock item. The unit comes with all original packaging and manufacturer warranty.
For those who don’t already know its legacy, the big, punchy sound of the mic 1073 preamp complements any musical genre, from rock to pop, hip-hop to rap, thrash to classical. Its lush sound with classic Neve signature makes it the consummate mic pre for recording vocals, guitars, and all acoustic instruments.
With the 1073DPD, two Neve 1073 mic preamplifiers are complemented by superb Neve-designed analogue-to-digital converters that can capture a performance in any required format. In addition to Neve's famous Class A analogue, outputs are a series of digital options, including all standard PCM sampling rates up to 192kHz, selectable via convenient front-panel controls. A unique feature is the Neve DSD (Direct Stream Digital) output, providing unsurpassed quality beyond PCM technology.
Despite its power, the 1073DPD is remarkably simple to operate. Two rear-panel Mic inputs and Line inputs feed dual Class A gain stages, with adjustable Gain control and selectable 48V available on the Mic inputs. Class A analogue outputs in XLR format are also found on the rear panel, controlled via adjustable front-panel ±10dB Trim controls. Analogue insert points are provided ahead of the A/D converters, ensure the classic Neve sound is retained.
The combination of legendary analogue circuitry and superior digital quality makes the 1073DPD the obvious choice as a front-end for recording to digital workstations.
