1073 Mic Pre-Amp

...073 is produced to the exact specifications of the original modules. Considerable resources have been devoted to the acquisition of the original components to ensure the sound remains true.

Looking for an outside opinion? Lynn Fuston at EQ Magazine performed an in-depth review of the modern-day 1073 versus a vintage model. We think you'll find his conclusions quite comforting.

The Class A design 1073 microphone preamplifier featuRES 3 bands of EQ, with one fixed high frequency band, two switchable bands with cut and boost capability, and a high pass filter. All Neve channel amplifiers are designed to accept signals from a wide range of microphone and line sources.
The Neve 1073 mic pre and EQ combination adds warmth and depth to Recordings, brings out subtle ambience, maintains spatial positioning, and more effectively captures a precise image. That's why the 1073 mic preamp is considered by many to be the very essence of the Neve sound.

Mic Pre-Amp

The mic pre-amp (also known as the microphone preamplifier) is an essential sound engineering device that allows the microphone signal to be easily processed by other devices. Usually, the microphone signals are not strong enough to penetrate units like the mixing consoles and recording equipment. Thus, the microphone pre amp heightens the signal so it can reach the required signal strength by the devices. For instance, the dynamic microphone has an output voltage within the range of 0-100 (microvolt). This is too low so the microphone pre-amp heightens the level approximately 70 dB or 0-100 volts. The result is a stronger signal that creates better sound quality. The mic pre-amp supplies ample gain and at the same time, it prevents the noise generated that could possible distort the signal. It also serves as a transducer that generates a kind of coloration or effects to an audio mix. Normally, sound engineers would emphasize the effect of the mic pre-amp to the overall quality of the sound of the audio mix. The pre amplifier usually charges the microphone with low impedance and this makes the microphone to work double time, resulting in the modification of the tone quality. The audio mixers already have built in preamplifiers but the mic pre-amp adds extra effects to the audio mixer’s effects. There are some types of microphones such as the condenser microphones that need the mic pre-amp to function. There are also pre-amps that comprise the channel strip together with the recording equipment like equalizers, compressors, noise gates, etc.
