Neve 1073
In the world of pro audio, the Neve 1073 is a force of nature. Designed by Rupert Neve and introduced in 1970 as a channel amplifier for the 80 series consoles that would take over the high-end studio market by the end of the decade, the 1073 quickly endeared itself and became indispensable to top engineers, artists, and producers of the era. Installed in classic Neve boards like the 8028, the 1073 would become the basis for subsequent variants that would incorporate more extensive EQ and highpass/lowpass filtration.
Six decades later, the “Sound of ’73” endures. Today, the 1073 and the company behind it are as relevant as ever. Neve manufactures several versions ranging from rackmount units and the convenient 500 Series format to a drop-in module for vintage Neve consoles.
