Additionally, when Line is selected via the FR I/P control, phantom power is automatically turned off if active, in order to protect unbalanced, line-level input devices. There is also an accompanying +48V red LED indicator when phantom power is on. To the right of the buttons is the -10dB/+5dB continuous fine trim control, which also acts as an on switch for phantom power when pressed in. Below the gain control are three buttons for Lo-Z input impedance selection (1200 ohm/300ohm), a phase button, and an input selector (FR I/P) for Mic or Line selection. The front-panel controls of the AMS Neve 1073LB include a stepped (5dB) Input Gain knob, which runs from -20dB to +10dB for line input, -20dB to -80dB (negative gain means the output is inverted from the input) for the mic input (with an Off position between the 50 and 55dB steps). Designed and manufactured in England, the 1073LB is VPR-compliant, and as such, compatible with API Lunchbox 500-series power racks. The AMS Neve 1073LB also incorporates new features for the modern age, including a -10dB to + 5dB fine Trim control, which in conjunction with the main gain control gives you 85dB of gain for mics with extremely low sensitivity a signal-presence LED, intelligent protected switching for the front-panel combi XLR/1/4″ input connector and Neve’s Audio Processing Input design, which enables you to connect adjacent AMS Neve Lunchbox EQ and dynamics processors as in insert ahead of the 1073LB’s output. (All I/O on the 1073LB is transformer-balanced and earth-free.)
AMS Neve 1073LB-Under the Hoodīased on the limitations of the 500-series form, Neve engineers painstaking selected certain components for the 1073LB that matched the behavior of the originals, along with using the same architecture and original hand-wound transformers (which, incidentally, are more responsible for the warm sound attributed to tubes than tubes themselves actually are) to retain the unique sonics of the original 1073. It was also the first wide-bandwidth preamp designed to be linear and low-noise past the range of human hearing.* Along with the character of the preamp, thanks to its Neve-designed Marinair™ custom input and output transformers, the award-winning 1073LB boasts a staggering 80dB of ribbon mic-friendly gain, variable input impedance, input trim, and of course the signature Neve sound. Perhaps the greatest achievement of the Neve 1073 is that it gave solid-state circuits the rich euphonic sound of tubes, and the punch that put the rock into roll. The most copied preamp on the planet, it would be more appropriate to ask what influential recordings the 1073 hasn’t been used on since its introduction in 1970 through today. The AMS Neve 1073LB is the only preamp that brings the authentic sound of recording’s most highly prized preamp, the Neve 1073, to 500-series racks everywhere.Īsk any producer or recording engineer what their desert island preamp is, and invariably, the Neve 1073 will come up just about every time.
