The 1073 input module defined the punchy, authoritative sound of the legendary Neve 80 Series consoles that dominated professional recording studios in the Golden Age of Analog. Today, you can obtain this iconic sound for your studio with the AMS Neve 1073OPX 8-channel mic\/line\/DI preamp rackmount unit. Handwired true to the original vintage design and updated to meet the demands of modern workflows, the 1073 delivers a rich tonal palette for making bold, professional statements with your music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith its uniquely euphonic tonal quality, seductive warmth, low-mid punch, and subtle harmonic distortion, the Neve 1073 has provided studios of all sizes with one of the industry’s most esteemed front ends for over half a century. Carrying on this legacy, the AMS Neve 1073OPX gives you eight remote-controlled 1073 preamps with Marinair specification transformers. Housed in a compact 2U rack unit with front and rear connectivity, it integrates seamlessly into studio, stage, or broadcast environments, while modern remote-control software offers two-way control and total recall of settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince the 1970s, the Neve 1073 has reigned as one of the most sought-after mic preamps and EQ platforms in professional audio — prized for its unmistakable sound and impressive versatility. With up to 70dB of gain, the 1073OPX easily handles low-output passive ribbon microphones and delicate sources. Retaining its vintage character while embracing modern hybrid workflows, AMS Neve continues innovating with custom transformer-balanced Class A circuitry and advanced Marinair transformers, delivering wide bandwidth, rich lows, assertive mids, and sweet, airy highs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to military-grade standards, the 1073OPX offers exceptional durability and a premium user experience. From precision rotary switches to robust metalwork and meticulously engineered internal circuitry, every detail reflects uncompromising quality. Like the original Neve consoles still found in major studios worldwide, this unit is designed for longevity, reliability, and world-class performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Neve legacy continues today, built on Rupert Neve’s pioneering vision and commitment to sonic excellence. From the legendary 80 Series consoles that defined the sound of 1970s rock to modern innovations that address today’s digital production demands, AMS Neve remains at the forefront of professional audio — delivering iconic tone, timeless craftsmanship, and cutting-edge performance for the modern studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Neve Says...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere Legend Meets Future\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePacking eight 1073® remote-controllable preamps into a compact 2U rackmount chassis, the 1073OPX is purpose-built for modern DAW-based workflows where rack space is at a premium — while still delivering the unmistakable 1073 sound engineers know and love. It’s a true Swiss Army knife for contemporary studios, combining classic analogue tone with advanced digital flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe optional 1073OPX USB\/ADAT Card expands its capabilities with premium AD\/DA conversion up to 192kHz for all eight preamps, plus a stereo digital monitor return. In USB\/ADAT Hub mode, the unit becomes an expandable USB audio interface, supporting up to 16 inputs and 10 outputs over a single USB connection. In ADAT standalone mode, it integrates seamlessly with any ADAT-compatible interface via optical connection, instantly adding eight legendary 1073 preamps and a stereo output to your existing setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor networked audio environments, dual Ethernet ports enable connection to Dante audio-over-IP networks with primary and secondary redundancy. For home studios, the class-compliant USB 2.0 connection transforms the 1073OPX into a complete, high-performance studio audio interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery switch setting, gain position, and routing option can be remotely controlled via the 1073OPX app, offering full recall and streamlined workflow integration. Up to eight units can be controlled simultaneously, delivering an impressive total of 64 remote-controlled 1073® preamps — ideal for large-scale studios, live sound venues, and broadcast environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the eight microphone preamps is balanced using patented Marinair® transformers, delivering the rich, authoritative tone and musical character that define the Neve sound. Stepped gain control in precise 1dB increments ensures perfect stereo matching and accurate recall, whether controlled locally or remotely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree independent inputs — microphone, line, and instrument — each feature dedicated gain settings and connections, providing versatile recording options for any studio scenario. The instrument DI utilises a unique Class A design with a FET transistor for enhanced musical coloration and high-performance instrument capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdvanced features include intelligent +48V phantom power that is automatically routed only to the microphone input, a -25dB PAD for handling high-level sources, a 180-degree phase reverse for multi-microphone setups, and an 80Hz 12dB\/octave high-pass filter to eliminate unwanted low-frequency rumble. A selectable impedance switch (1.2kΩ or 300Ω) optimises performance for both modern and vintage microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFront and rear input connections with independent switching allow seamless rack integration while providing convenient front-panel access without re-patching. The analogue and digital monitor paths enable direct connection to studio monitors and front-mounted headphone outputs, with each preamp output routable to the monitor path for latency-free monitoring or analogue summing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e[tabs] [tab title=\"FEATURES\"]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAMS Neve 1073OPX 8-channel Microphone Preamp Features:\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 channels of remote-controlled 1073 mic\/line\/DI preamplifiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary Neve Marinair transformers on microphone input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass A transformer-less DI input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote control software supports up to 8 x 1073OPX racks simultaneously (64 preamps)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic total recall of all settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-panel mic\/line\/DI combo input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear-panel mic\/line\/DI D-type connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80Hz high-pass filter, 25dB pad, and polarity reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmart phantom power control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLo-Z button switches impedance from 1.3kΩ to 300Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone input gain: 20dB to 70dB in 1dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine input gain: –20dB to +20dB in 1dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDI input gain: 30dB to 60dB in 1dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate stereo monitor path with independent level control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLatency-free monitoring of all signal sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 front-panel DI inputs for instrument tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-panel headphone output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and crafted in England by AMS Neve engineers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"webtext-block--colcount\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"webtext-block--colcount\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"webtext-block--colcount\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/tab] [tab title=\"SPECIFICATIONS\"]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"white-space:nowrap;
