The Vintech X73i (Neve 1073) Replica is compared side-by-side an original pair of Vintage Neve 1073's in a scientific mic preamp shootout at Sound Pure recording studios. For the shootout, The Sound Pure Steinway Concert grand piano was recorded using a matched pair of Peluso P12 Tube microphones (Vintage Clones of the AKG C12 microphone) spaced across the piano's strings. Each microphones' output was split, one to the Neve and one to the Vintech X73i. Volume output at identical levels was tested by verifying virtually complete phase cancellation between the two signals when summed together (with one preamp set to phase reverse). The Vintage clone Vintech X73i blew the minds of the engineers at Sound Pure studios, as the differences between the Vintech and the Neve were imperceptible. After the listening, the Sound Pure engineers discuss their impressions of the sounds that they were hearing through the studio monitors in the Sound Pure control room. Sound Pure is a proud seller of Vintech products, and can be reached to answer any questions about the mic pre shootout, or if you'd like the high res audio files for your own listening. Sound Pure can be reached toll free at 888-528-9703.

What we think:

Everyone loves the Neve 1073's mic preamp, and the Neve 1081's more powerful EQ. Vintech has found the prefect combo here with their X81. Utitilizing the same preamp and gain section as in the X73, which is a near perfect mimick of the original preamp of the Neve 1073 modules, the unit also adds a more comprehensive and versatile EQ, with the same great Neve sound. Consideing that you can purchase three Vintech x81's and a power supply with a Full factory warranty for the price of one single Neve 1073 module (unwarranted), we're suprised people still bother. If the classic Neve sound is what you are after, look no further.

Description:

Our "X81 Class A" is a four band version of our X73. It features the same basic equalizer points as the famous Neve 1081 module. Many people love the 1081 for its comprehensive eq but some feel that its class AB output amplifier lacked the character found in the 1073's Class A output amp. Our X81 utilizes the same equalzier designs and class A amps throughout as found in our X73. Features include: Same basic construction and features as our X73 EQ frequency adjustments: 5 on lows, 10 on low mids, 10 hi mids, 5 on high mids . EQ section also includes a Hi Q adjustment for each mid range section and a high pass filter.
