Definitive British Preamp/EQ in a 500 Series Module
Neve 80 series consoles defined the sound of 1970s rock 'n' roll; their legendary 1073 preamp and EQ modules wrote the book on characterful mic preamplification and punchy equalization. Introduced later in the decade, the 1084 featured several enhancements, including selectable HF frequency centers. Today, you can have all of that sonic goodness in a triple-wide 500 Series module. Done up in classic RAF blue-gray livery, the BAE 1073D nails the authentic sound of the vintage modules, using the same hand-wired, transformer-coupled Class A design and original-spec components like Carnhill St. Ives transformers, gold-plated Elma switches, and Canford wire. With 70dB of gain on tap, the 1073D lets you capture subdued sources with your favorite ribbon mic; cranking the gain enhances your tracks with tasty vintage-style coloration. A highpass filter lets you roll off mud, rumble, and other low-frequency content that can mar an otherwise perfect take. And the 1073D's renowned 3-band EQ section can enhance anything. The BAE 1073D. Take it from Sweetwater: this is the stuff of legend.
