EIGHT CHANNELS OF ICONIC NEVE 1073 SOUND

At the heart of the 1073OPX are eight fully independent microphone preamps engineered with the classic Neve 1073 circuit design. Each balanced mic input channel employs Neve Marinair transformers that deliver the renowned "big iron" tone characterized by warm harmonic saturation, punchy low-mids, and detailed highs. With generous headroom and up to 70 dB of gain, this 8-channel mic preamp capably handles everything from delicate vocals to the most bombastic drums and guitars. This design ensures that every mic/line channel produces consistent, studio-quality sound for a variety of recording applications. Each mic/line/DI channel also provides 48V Phantom power, switchable phase, impedance, -25 dB pad, and 80 Hz high-pass filter. From the sturdy inputs to the output transformers, every signal that passes through will come out sounding better.

MODERN FEATURES

Building on its heritage, the Neve 1073OPX incorporates modern, remote controlled features for today’s hybrid analog-digital workflows. The unit features remote control via Ethernet, allowing you to adjust every gain knob, switch, and routing setting via the 1073 OPX app, plus automatic total recall for all settings. Front-panel mic/line/DI inputs make it easy to quickly connect mics and instruments, while integrated phantom power, impedance switching, and phase reversal functions ensure you're prepared for any session. These improvements make the 1073 OPX an innovative solution offering remote controllable microphone inputs and DI inputs compatible with all signal sources.
