Born in May 1970, the 1073 preamp is the world’s most desirable and famous preamp. Originally
fitted to the custom console for Wessex A88, the module was used extensively during the 1970’s
on the Neve Consoles that defined recording techniques on a generation of classic records.
This hand built Class A module offers 3 bands of EQ with one fixed high frequency band and
two switchable bands with cut and boost and a high pass filter.

Low noise and distortion and generous overload performance are important features of the 1073
design. The reissue modules are exactly the same as the original designs and contain all of
the original components, the transformers are manufactured exclusively for Neve to very
precise specifications.
