Product Description
The BAE (formerly Brent Averill Enterprises) 1073 modules are authentic reproductions of vintage Neve™* 1073 console modules. They fit racks for vintage Neve™* modules as well as fitting into vintage Neve™* A series consoles.The BAE 1073 preamp yields a really fat sound. It seems to add subharmonics to the low end which makes the bottom end sound huge. It smoothes the top end which gives the highs a silky sheen. As well the 1073 compresses transients a little bit. It is a smooth, fat, larger than life sound.
The B.A.E 1073 equalizer is very broadbanded and musical. It has a hi-pass filter with four frequencies- 50 Hz, 80 Hz, 160 Hz and 300 Hz. The low frequency band is shelving and has four frequencies - 35 Hz, 60 Hz, 110 Hz and 220 Hz. The low end of this equalizer is so tight that you can boost 220 Hz and not muddy up the sound. The mid band has six frequencies - 360 Hz, 720 Hz, 1.6 kHz, 3.2 kHz, 4.8 kHz and 7.2 kHz. The bandwidth is broad so you can boost or cut a lot without making things sound processed or unnatural. The hi band is shelving and is fixed at 12 kHz. It is smooth and silky and a little goes a long way.
*NEVE IS EITHER A TRADEMARK OR REGISTERED TRADEMARK OF AMS-NEVE LTD, AND BAE IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH SUCH ENTITY.
