1073DPX Channel Amplifier Introduction
The original Neve 1073 channel amplifiers are very popular mic preamplifiers,
considered by many to capture the very essence of the Neve sound. In
manufacture since the early 1970s, the discrete class-A design offers 3 bands of
EQ with one fixed high frequency and a high-pass filter.
The 1073DPX accommodates two separate 1073s in a stand-alone 2U rack-
mount unit. At its core, the 1073DPX retains the same basic circuitry as the
original 1073, but includes many additional features to ensure the unit sits
comfortably in the modern studio environment.
Configuring the 1073DPX
To use the 1073DPX, configure as follows:
Connect the supplied 48V power adaptor (PS10501) to the 48V input.

- Mic input uses the XLR input of the XLR combo connector on the front panel,
or the XLR connector on the rear panel.
- Line input uses the 6.35mm jack input of the XLR combo connector on the
front panel, or the XLR connector on the rear panel.
- DI input uses the 6.35mm jack connector on the front panel.
Connect any intermediate sources to the insert loop as required, via the
6.35mm jack connectors on the rear panel.
