Description
The BAE 1073 NOPS is a mic/line preamp and equalizer that is as authentic as the original, featuring the same St Ives (Carnhill) transformers as the vintage modules, Elma switches and Canford wire. No PSU.
The BAE 1073 slightly compresses transients, as well. It is a smooth, fat, larger than life sound. An added bonus is to use the front-panel DI inputs to fatten samples and synths and instruments. Balanced line-level inputs on the rear allow for fattening and punching up entire mixes, or in a signal chain with other +4 gear.
Reasons to choose the BAE 1073 NOPS:
- Faithful recreation of the original Neve 1073 sound.
- Warm, deep and well-defined tone. Solid low end, focused mids and smooth highs.
- Adds real character, enhancing harmonics and presence.
- Shape your sound at the recording stage with the 3-band EQ.
- Perfect for vocals, guitars, bass, synthesisers and more, thanks to its microphone, line and instrument (DI) inputs.
- Hand-built using high-end components.
