There’s never been a signal processor more famous or revered than the Neve 1073. With its uniquely euphonic tonal quality, seductive warmth, low-mid punch, and subtle harmonic distortion, the 1073 has provided studios with the industry’s most esteemed front end for producing radio-ready product that blasts right out of the speakers. Carrying on the 1073 pedigree, the Neve 1073SPX-D gives you a genuine 1073 preamp/EQ module seamlessly integrated with an innovative USB interface in a tidy 1U chassis with the superior build quality for which Neve is famous.
The 1073SPX-D also offers ADAT Lightpipe I/O that allows it to act as an audio expander for existing ADAT-equipped audio interfaces such as the Neve 1073OPX or another 1073SPX-D, making it easy to integrate a complete 1073 channel strip into your studio and expand your setup as necessary. Considering all that it does, the Neve 1073SPX-D is poised to simplify workflows across a broad range of audio production scenarios.
