Neve 1073OPX 8-Channel Microphone/Line Preamp
Eight legendary preamps in a 2U rack unit, all featuring the unique tonal quality, warmth, low-mid punch, and subtle harmonic distortion that has made Neve's 1073 world-famous
MFR# 1073OPX Octal Mic Preamp unit with remote control
Launched in 1970, the Neve 1073 quickly became the mic pre of choice for leading producers and engineers and has since become the world’s most desirable preamplifier. Designed and manufactured in England by AMS Neve to this day, its unique tonal quality, warmth, low-mid punch and subtle harmonic distortion gives studios of all sizes the most prestigious front-end for their recordings. Packing eight 1073 remote-controllable preamplifiers in a 2U rackmount case, the Neve 1073OPX suits modern DAW-based workflows, where any space is a premium, whilst also offering the 1073 channel mic preamp sound everyone knows and loves. The 1073OPX is the Swiss Army knife of modern studios.
Every switch setting gain position and routing option is remotely controlled from the 1073OPX app. This amazing feature unlocks unlimited potential for many modern studios, broadcast suites and live sound venues. In addition, up to eight OPX units can be controlled remotely from the OPX app for a total of 64 remote-controlled 1073 instrument preamplifiers! The AMS Neve 1073 OPX continues the 1073 pedigree, packing eight legendary preamps into a 2U rack unit, as a standalone or with the Dante Card Bundle. Front and rear connectors give comprehensive connectivity to any Studio/Live/Broadcast environment and modern remote-control software gives two-way control with Total Recall of all settings. Input sources benefit from the transformer-coupled input stage and can be connected directly to the front-mounted Mic/Line/DI input for recording in the studio control-room. It can be used independently or with our Dante Bundle.
The 1073OPX analogue and digital monitor paths are perfect for connecting to studio loudspeakers or audio interface with any front-mounted headphone monitoring connections. Each preamp output can be routed to the monitor path for analogue summing or latency-free monitoring. The Neve 1073OPX has both front and rear input connections with easy-to-use independent switching. This layout allows for seamless integration into front panel studio racks or audio converters with a simple direct link to the front of the 1073 unit at any time without having to re-patch.
This preamp is a game changer in my studio. It's a got a beautiful warm feel to it that is great to have for podcasting, drums, vocals, guitars, piano, you name it. I love the front end line/mic hook ups for when I'm just sitting in the control room running my own tracks. The single increment increase in gain is awesome. If you don't have one of these yet, jump on the train, drink the kool aid and buy the t shirt.

Amazing workhorse for many applications. Plenty of presence and punch. Great on toms and bass!

This thing is a game changer. The gain and flexibility of the unit allows me to track vocals from a SM7B without a Cloud Lifter or other device. It got acres of Neve gain on any source. Tracking drums though this is amazing as well. You get the transformer weight that you expect with vintage Neve gear in a compact and affordable box. My question now is, is one enough? Amazing.
The Neve 1073 is one of the most legendary mic preamps in recording history and has been available in just about every format possible. AMS Neve has just announced that the brand is once again changing the name of the 1073 game by introducing the new 1073OPX octal microphone/line/instrument preamplifier.What's going on with the 1073OPX that makes it so impressive? We're talking about a 2U 19" rackmount unit, which features eight 1073 preamps with Marinair transformers that can be controlled via remote control. It gets even better! The 1073OPX has a digital card option that offers 192kHz/24Bit conversion for USB and Dante network connections. Continue reading →
If you've been considering the new Neve 8424 recording console for your studio, the historic pro audio brand has just sweetened the deal for you. When you purchase an 8424 before December 31st, 2020 from Vintage King, you will receive a $5000 credit for Neve outboard gear that you can use however you see fit.
This $5000 credit for Neve outboard gear can be used at the time of purchase, and must be spent before June 30, 2021. The credit is limited to strictly Neve outboard gear, which means it can not be used towards the 8424, Genesys/Genesys Black, 88RS, and DFC consoles and options. Continue reading →
Vintage King client Brian Alston is an Arizona-based singer/songwriter who recently elevated his project studio to a whole new level. As a long-time fan of the Neve console sound, Brian wanted the benefits of the brand's storied desks, but needed to be mindful of both budget and space. Enter the Neve 8424 recording console.
“I basically wanted a console that would be with me for a very, very long time and one that would continue to inspire me to work every day," Brian says. "I have found that in the 8424.” Continue reading →
For creators working in mid-sized studios, the Neve 8424 console offers the audio quality and functionality of a much larger analog desk with the modern conveniences and connectivity needed for a hybrid workflow. These were certainly the deciding factors for producer and sound designer Matia Simovich who recently brought home the 8424 to his Infinite Power Studios.
“It offered everything I was used to on a large format mixer, but it was scaled to a size that made more sense in a control room where space is tight," says Matia.
The Neve 8424 delivers on the classic sound of the brand's beloved 80 Series desks. The 8424 features Neve Marinair® transformers on the Stereo Mix bus, the Stereo Cue bus and the AFL bus for high headroom voltage-controlled mixing. In addition, the desk comes with two handcrafted 1073 preamps and the ability to connect to the 1073OPX for additional mic pres. Continue reading →

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
