The latest addition to the 1073 family is a variation called the 1073N. (Both were reviewed in SOS December 2011.)

A partnering 500-series EQ module is available to complete the original feature set, too. The company also market the basic preamp element of the original 1073 design in two-channel, 1U rackmount forms, as the 1073 DPA and DPD (the latter with an integral A-D converter), and as a 500-series (API Lunchbox) module, the 1073LB.

(A quick Google search on the term "Neve 1073 clone” will throw up many, many results!)ĪMS Neve describe the original 1073 console module, which they still manufacture, as "the world's most desirable preamp” and, if you don't happen to own an original Neve 45-series console with some spare module slots, can supply 3U and 5U stand-alone rack frames with integral power supplies to accommodate two or eight modules, respectively. The reverence that has grown up around this combined preamp and EQ design has led to countless clones, homages, and re-imagined versions and variations, some sticking pedantically closely to the original construction and features, some simplifying the design, or adding useful new features better suited to modern stand-alone applications. Most people with anything more than a vague awareness of pro audio will be aware of the deference afforded to the original Neve 1073 mixing-console module. Even Neve themselves make several variations on the classic 1073 theme.
