Neve 1081 Mic Pre/4 Band EQ (Vintage)

Excellent condition vintage unit. Neve's classic mic preamplifier with 4 band EQ. Low/Hi pass filters. Hi-Q switches on both low and hi mids. Peak/shelf switch on low and hi bands. Class A/B discrete.

Amazing for kick/snare - areas where you need to get in with 4 bands of sculpting! Taller and punchier sounding that the Class A 1073, which has a wider and fluffier tonal character.
