Internally, it’s mostly constructed using surface–mount device (SMD) technology, based closely on the company’s reworked 1073N module ( ). Naturally, the heart of the 1073 DPX is the familiar 1073 preamp/EQ, with the same circuitry, input and output transformers manufactured to the same spec as the Marinair originals, the same dual–concentric Grayhill switch/pot functions, and the same control legends, knobs and push-buttons.

Perhaps AMS–Neve felt it important to address that sector of the market directly, with a properly engineered version, with all the panel legends the right way around - but they’ve done more than that, because this version boasts some very useful additional features. Why another version? As enthusiasts know very well, there is a plethora of original vintage (and clone) modules converted to varying levels of competence and quality into dual–channel rackmounted systems. But I was wrong, because brand new, and reviewed exclusively here in Sound On Sound, is the Neve 1073 DPX, an enhanced, dual–channel, 2U rackmounting version of this enduringly popular design. I thought I’d already seen every possible variant of Neve’s 1073 preamp - including the original 1073N ’45–series cassette’, the 1073 DPA and DPD models, and the 1073LB and LBEQ 500–series preamp and partnering EQ modules, not to mention the numerous clones from various boutique manufacturers. This stereo unit is the perfect solution for studios looking to bring in the very essence of the Neve 1073 sound.Just when you thought you’d seen every possible permutation of the 1073 preamp, Neve offer up something a little different. Class A analogue outputs in XLR format are also found on the rear panel, controlled via adjustable front-panel ☑0 dB Trim controls. Two rear-panel Mic and Line inputs feed dual Class A gain stages, with adjustable Gain control and selectable 48 V available on the Mic inputs.
