EIGHT CHANNELS OF ICONIC NEVE 1073 SOUND

Each mic/line/DI channel also provides 48V phantom power, switchable phase, impedance, -25 dB pad, and 80 Hz high-pass filter. From the microphone inputs to the output transformers, every signal that passes through will come out sounding better.

These improvements make the 1073 OPX an innovative solution offering remote controllable microphone inputs and DI inputs compatible with all signal sources.
