{"product_id":"neve-1073lb-demo-deal","title":"Neve 1073LB (Demo Deal)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDropped on the studio world in 1970, Neve’s \u003cstrong\u003e1073\u003c\/strong\u003e Audio Preamplifier immediately made its bones on the recording studio scene. Renown for its ability to capture, compliment and create a uniquely great sound no matter the source, the 1073 has been the go-to recording preamp of leading artists and producers from hit recordings too numerous to mention. If you think of any famous recording of the past 40 years, chances are more than good that the artists' voices, instruments or illegal activities first saw tape through a Neve 1073. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And now it is available for your Lunchbox™ \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Today’s \u003cstrong\u003e1073LB\u003c\/strong\u003e is still manufactured in Great Britain to the exacting specs of Neve’s classic 1073 preamp. Featuring painstakingly recreated original spec hand-wound input and output transformers, matched components, as well as specially recreated tantalum coupling caps, the 1073LB bathes your ears in vintage Neve glory. With a build quality the British Admiralty would approve, the 1073LB’s massive input level switch contacts are gold-plated to withstand decades of marathon tracking sessions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As magical as owning a rare piece of vintage kit can appear, the lack of modern conveniences can ultimately detract from the recording experience. That’s why the boffins at Neve gave the 1073LB switchable microphone input impedance, signal presence LED and intelligent protected switching on the front combi-XLR input connector so you don’t accidentally fry a line-level device with 48v. The new Fine Trim control lets you squeeze the maximum level of sparkling clean signals or crank the gain for some Revolution distortion. The 1073LB Preamp’s smart Audio Processing Input design and Lunchbox Insert architecture allows you to create a classic Neve 1073 channel strip when used with a Neve 1073LB Series EQ. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And all this sonic potential installs in an empty slot of your compatible Lunchbox™ rack, ready to inject your microphone or line level signals into that legendary universe of Neve sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHighlights: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eClassic transformer microphone preamp amp (Class A design)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAudio path is absolutely 100% discrete and the same design as the 1073 Classic module mic\/pre circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eNeve designed hand-wound transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBoth Mic and Line inputs are transformer balanced and earth free\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eGain knob with Signal Presence LED\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e+5\/-10dB level Trim control with integrated phantom power on\/off switch\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePhase, Impedance and Front Input selector switches\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFront combi-XLR connector with intelligent switching of phantom power\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAudio Processing Insert design allows processing from adjacent Neve modules in same Lunchbox to be inserted into the 1073LB's pre-output stage\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone Input: Gain -80db to -20dB in 5dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLine Input: Input impedance 4k ohms bridging, gain -20dB to +10dB in 5dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOutput is transformer balanced and earth free\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDistortion: Not more than 0.07% from 50Hz to 10kHz at +20dBu output (80kHz bandwidth)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFreq Response: ±0.5dB 20Hz to 20kHz, -3dB at 40kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCrafted in England by Neve engineers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eLunchbox™ is a trademark of Automated Processes, Inc. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e Note: The Neve 1073LB will not work with the A-Designs 500HR 2-slot rack or the Empirical Labs EL500 2-slot rack.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449473953895,"sku":"17305","price":1149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/neve-1073lb_17305_1_d95e0384-3731-4590-9d0e-7098476e6faa.jpg?v=1787089091","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/neve-1073lb-demo-deal","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
