Neve 1053 Mic Pre/3 Band EQ #257 (Used)

Very rare early Neve discrete mic pre with germanium transistors.
"The channel amplifier module type 1053 is designed to raise signals from a microphone or any other source to 0 dBm. A wide range of input impedance is available by means of plug in transformers. the amplifier incorporates a sensitivity switch variable in 10 dB steps enabling signals between -80 dBm and 0 dBm to be accepted. at -20 dBm sensitivity a second unbalanced input is selected for connection to an external line transformer. A switched high pass filter, comprehensive H.F. and L.F. corrections and presence filters are provided."

Front Panel Controls:

• Sensitivity: Rotary switch giving 10 positions from 0 to -80 dBm (Ref. 600 ohms)
