About this listing
AMS Neve 1073LBEveryone’s favourite preamp, with 500 series convenienceDesigned and manufactured in England, the 1073LB uses the same architecture as the original 1073 preamplifier, conveniently packed into a single 500 series module. This compact design uses matched components and original hand-wound transformers to produce the world-famous 1073 sound.Marinair TransformersExclusive Marinair transformers are used on the microphone input, line input and line output stages to produce that classic 1073 sound.Class A DesignPacking the classic 1073 into a 500 series module was no small feat! The 1073 class-A circuit design is faithfully maintained in the 1073LB.Classic Gain ControlThe classic 5dB stepped Elma switch delivers accurate gain staging throughout 1073’s high output gain range. This unique layout means there is no need for a mic/line switch; the pot itself selects the correct preamp and input.Unique Gain StagingThree different gain stages, provided by two independent transistor-based preamplifiers, provide gain for any line input or microphone signal.High Output - Harmonic SaturationThe 1073LB combines multiple gain stages, meaning the 1073LB preamp can deliver up to 80dB of microphone gain; this brings out the musical drive and harmonic saturation that the 1073 is famous for.Phase InvertThe 180-degree phase invert feature is handy in multi-microphone setups with multiple preamps, ideal for top and bottom snare micing.Front and Rear InputsThe 1073LB can be integrated into your studio via the rear inputs, patched, and ready to go with the front input ready to plug into to record quickly.Lo-Z ImpedanceWith settings of 1.2kΩ and 300Ω, the 1073LB impedance can be optimised for use with a wide range of modern or vintage microphones.General SpecificationClassic transformer microphone preamp amp (Class A design)Exclusive Neve Marinair transformers used on input and output stagesBoth Mic and Line inputs are transformer balanced and earth freeGain knob with Signal Presence LED+5/-20dB level Trim control with integrated phantom power on/off switchPhase, Impedance and Front Input selector switchesFront combi-XLR connector with intelligent switching of phantom powerAudio Processing Insert design allows processing from adjacent 1073LBEQ and/or 2264ALB modules to be inserted into the 1073LB signal path (pre-output stage)Crafted in England by Neve EngineersCompatible 500-series rack/enclosure with Power Supply and line-level input/output connectors required, not supplied.Audio PerformanceMicrophone Input: Gain -80db to -20dB in 5dB stepsLine Input: Input impedance 4k ohms bridging, gain -20dB to +10dB in 5dB stepsOutput: Max Output +28dBu – Output Impedance 75Ω @ 1kHzOutput is transformer balanced and earth freeDistortion: Not more than 0.07% from 50Hz to 10kHz at +20dBu output(80kHz bandwidth)Freq Response: ±0.5dB 20Hz to 20kHz, -3dB at 40kHzEIN: Better than -125dBu @ 60dB gainNoise: -82dBu at all Line gain settings (22Hz to 22kHz bandwidth)DimensionsWidth: 38mm (1.5 inches)Height: 132mm (5.25 inches)Depth: 145mm (5.75 inches)Weight 1.1Kg (2.5 pounds)
