Critic Reviews

Neve 1073LB & 1073LB EQ

soundonsound.com

Neve's iconic 1073 preamp and EQ are now available in the 500-series format, offering the vintage sound in a compact package. The AMS Neve 1073LB and 1073LB EQ modules deliver the classic Neve warmth and character, maintaining the original's sonic qualities despite modern re-engineering. The insert mode allows seamless integration between preamp and EQ, replicating the authentic signal path. However, the design's compactness leads to a few quirks, such as easy accidental toggling of phantom power and a non-standard high-shelf control that might confuse purists. Despite these minor issues, the modules are a high-quality addition to any studio, offering flexible usage and the revered Neve tone. The review is overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the modules' flexibility and authenticity.
