One mic went into the Apollo Twin with the 1073 plug-in enabled the other went into the 1073N hardware, then into the Apollo Twin at line level. As I did with my 610 comparison, I used a pair of Lauten Atlantis microphones to track an entire song with drums, bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, double-tracked lead and backing vocals, tambourine, and shaker. It has a beautiful top end sheen, but with a nice subtle edge, a punchy low mid, and tight solid bottom end. In use I started by taking the 1073N out for a spin along with a Chandler TG2 and a Great River MP-500NV, just to get my own personal bearing on the “Neve 1073 sound.” I quickly learned that the 1073 is everything you have read over the years.
As with all of UA’s upgraded versions in the past few years - like the Teletronix® LA-2A Classic Leveler Collection, 1176 Classic Limiter Plug-In Collection, and the Fairchild Tube Limiter Plug-In Collection - the now-Legacy version of the 1073 and its lighter 1073SE variant are included with the newly modeled 1073 as part of the new 1073 Preamp & EQ Collection.Īlso, the input control of the Legacy plug-in was a simple gain knob, whereas the new version is 100% accurate to the hardware in function and design. That original bundle is no longer available, although you can still get the Neve 1081 by itself (and a non-Unison version of the 31102, which is electronically identical to the 1084). If you are thinking, “Wait, didn’t UA already release a 1073 years ago as part of a larger Neve bundle that also included the 1081?” Yes, they did.
#NEVE 1073 PREAMP EQ SOFTWARE#
Thanks to the cooperation of AMS Neve in England and the generous loan of a brand-new 1073N from our friends at Professional Audio Design, I had a chance to listen to the hardware and software side by side. Thanks to its sound and helped by decades of third-party clones, as well as the current AMS Neve spec-for-spec reissues, it’s not much of a stretch to say the the 1073 is one of the best known and most sought after mic preamps in history.
#NEVE 1073 PREAMP EQ MOVIE#
The 1073 was superseded in 1973 with the launch of the similar, but expanded 10 mic pre/EQ modules, the latter used in the 8048 console that recently became a movie star in Dave Grohl’s film Sound City.
