AMS Neve 1073 OPX 8-ch Mic Preamp - Used  From Neve

The AMS Neve 1073OPX brings the legendary sound of the classic Neve 1073 microphone preamp into a modern, multi-channel format designed for today's recording, broadcast, and live production environments. Housed in a compact 2U rackmount chassis, the 1073OPX delivers eight channels of authentic Neve preamplification with extensive remote-control capabilities and flexible studio integration.

Each channel features the renowned Neve 1073 sound, utilizing Marinair-style transformer-coupled microphone inputs and Class A circuitry to deliver the warmth, depth, low-mid punch, and musical harmonic character that have made the 1073 one of the most sought-after preamp designs in recording history. With up to 70 dB of gain available, the 1073OPX is equally capable of handling low-output ribbon microphones, condenser microphones, dynamic microphones, and direct instrument sources.

Designed for modern workflows, the 1073OPX includes comprehensive remote-control software that provides access to gain, phantom power, pad, polarity reverse, impedance selection, filtering, routing, and recall functions. Multiple units can be controlled simultaneously, allowing users to manage up to 64 channels of remote-controlled Neve preamplification from a single interface.

Connectivity is equally versatile, with front-panel microphone, line, and Class A DI inputs for convenient access, along with rear-panel microphone and line connections via DB25 for permanent studio installations. Each channel includes switchable 48V phantom power, a 25 dB pad, polarity reverse, an 80 Hz high-pass filter, and selectable input impedance for optimizing performance with a wide range of microphones and sources.

An integrated stereo monitor path, front-panel headphone output, and latency-free monitoring capabilities make the 1073OPX a complete front-end solution for tracking and production applications. Optional digital expansion cards add USB, ADAT, or Dante connectivity with premium AD/DA conversion up to 192 kHz, allowing the unit to function as a high-performance audio interface or networked audio device.

Designed and manufactured in England, the 1073OPX combines the unmistakable sound of a studio classic with the flexibility, recall, and scalability demanded by modern recording environments. Whether used for tracking full bands, recording orchestral sessions, expanding an existing interface, or building a high-end hybrid studio, the 1073OPX delivers authentic Neve tone across eight channels in a streamlined, contemporary format.
