Furthermore, your application for the Neve sound isn’t going to be the same as mine… but this is the beauty of recording in such a wonderful time, with so many great choices at so many different price points! Whether you are a collector looking for the real deal, or a new engineer buying your first external preamp to go with your interface, I know there is a 1073 for you. Your favorite 1073 clone isn’t going to be the same as mine.
Some are more heavy handed and sound “thicker,” while other vintage 1073s we have rented have a more open and airy top end with a really defined low-mid. In our years of testing any 1073 against real vintage 1073s, they all sound different. Added to this is the fact that there isn’t any rhyme or reason to which clone any given vintage 1073 unit is most closely going to resemble. With so many different 1073 options, we find it amazing that rented vintage 1073s always sound different from each other. If 1073s aren’t right, you’ll find you get too much lower frequency mud and a lack of clarity in your mixes. It soon became an official part of Neve’s line as part of the 8014 desk. For the 1073, that means having “weight” and “depth,” but it also means having clarity and the ability to stack a lot tracks together in the mix. The 1073 mic preamp/EQ was built by famed console designer Rupert Neve and dates back to 1970, where it was part of the Neve A88 console custom-built for Wessex Sound studios. There are a lot of great versions of the 1073, and they are all a little different.įor us, it all starts with getting the right tone. At any point in our studio, we have had four to five different “1073-style” preamps that we could choose from. Not only one of the most recognizable preamps on the market today, but almost certainly the most copied, the 1073 has been a staple in recording studios for decades.
