Neve 1073LB #00786-06-11 (Used)

Launched in 1970, the 1073 is the first choice of leading producers and artists, delivering the unique Neve sound on some of the most famous recordings of the past 40 years. The big, punchy sound of the 1073 complements any musical genre from rock to pop, hip-hop to rap, thrash to classical.
And now it is available for your Lunchbox^TM
Designed and manufactured in England, the 1073LB retains the unique sonic characteristics of the original 1073 Classic microphone preamplifier by using the same architecture, matching components and original hand-wound transformers. And it delivers it in a modern and portable form-factor that professional producers and engineers demand.
Simply install into an empty slot in your compatible Lunchbox^TM rack, connect your microphone or line level signals and inject that legendary sound into your audio creations.

Note: The Neve 1073LB will not work with the A-Designs 500HR 2 Slot rack or the Empirical Labs EL500 2 Slot 500 Series Rack due the physical size of the slots in those particular racks not being able to accommodate the dimensions of the module. The module will fit in all other new 500 Series racks that we carry.
