In the decades since, AMS Neve has innovated with groundbreaking products such as the VR, VX, and 88R series consoles. By 1978, with the introduction of the majestic 8078 - the pinnacle of handwired analog “production” consoles - and NECAM automation system, Neve boards were the main component of the success formula for any recording studio with world-class aspirations. From London to New York to Los Angeles and beyond, top studios were installing Neve desks as fast as they could. Neve 80-series consoles had a huge, punchy, and authoritative sound that defined the sound of ’70s rock. And by the early 1970s, the Neve company was humming along, taking orders and building custom transformer-balanced consoles for recording and broadcast studios the world over.
Reliable faders didn’t exist yet - a far cry from today’s world, where parts are affordable and readily available from multiple suppliers, all competing to win bids. Transistors were new, expensive, and difficult to obtain in quantity in the UK. Neve faced many obstacles establishing his brand amid a new technological landscape. Setting up shop in Little Shelford in the ’60s, Mr. Rupert Neve started designing audio equipment in the tube console era but made his mark with solid-state designs. With their “big iron” transformers, Neve consoles deliver wide, linear bandwidth while maintaining audiophile quality throughout the spectrum for rich, full-bodied sound with formidable lows, assertive midrange presence, and sweet, airy highs.Īt Sweetwater, the name Neve commands reverence. The name Rupert Neve is synonymous with custom transformer-balanced Class A circuitry, and AMS Neve continues to innovate in that realm with their state-of-the-art Neve Marinair specification transformers, found on the input and output stages of the 1073. While today’s 1073 retains all its vintage bona fides, AMS Neve remains an R&D-driven company that continually improves their classic designs to meet and exceed the performance requirements of today’s hybrid analog-digital workflows. With a generous 80dB of gain on tap, the 1073 handles even your lowest-output passive ribbon mics on quiet sources. Since the 1970s, the Neve 1073 has reigned as the most sought-after mic preamp and equalizer on the planet - one reason being its inimitable sound another its impressive versatility. Legendary, authoritative “big iron” sound
