This stereo unit is the perfect solution for studios looking to bring in the very essence of the legendary Neve 1073 sound. Class A analog outputs in XLR format are also found on the rear panel, controlled via adjustable front-panel ☑0dB Trim controls. Two rear-panel Mic inputs and Line inputs feed dual Class A gain stages, with adjustable Gain control and selectable 48V available on the Mic inputs. The big, punchy sound of the 1073 compliments any musical genre, making it the consummate mic pre for recording vocals, guitars, and acoustic instruments of all descriptions. These overtones were tweaked to perfection by Andrew Scheps himself, resulting in beautiful and authentic saturations.The Neve 1073DPA features two acclaimed Class A Neve 1073 mic preamps in a single rackspace. Using innovative procedures to model the acclaimed Marinair transformer, Waves has meticulously captured all the sonic characteristics of the 1073, including its harmonic distortion. And to top it all off, the Waves MS matrix has been added to let you apply different equalization to mid and side stereo content. Additionally, for the first time ever, a little-known 10kHz midrange band discovered in the original 1073 schematics but operable only on the rare 1078 channel strip has been modeled and incorporated into the plugin. The Waves Scheps 73 is a colorful 3-band EQ modeled on the classic 1073 console's EQ and mic preamp module and developed in association with world-renowned mixing engineer Andrew Scheps ( Adele, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Sabbath, Lana Del Ray, Metallica, Jay-Z.) Empowered by Waves cutting-edge technologies, the Scheps 73 EQ features interrelated bands that adhere to the 1073’s original specs and precisely emulate its behavior: a fixed 12kHz high-frequency band, switchable low and midrange bands with cut and boost controls, and an 18dB/octave high-pass filter. The challenging part of reviewing this plug-in alongside the hardware is that unlike a typical plug-in comparison, here you have multiple variations on a theme. 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.

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.

The bigger the tag appears, the more products it contains. 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.

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.
