Iconic Sound Meets Modern Convenience
Capture the legendary Neve warmth and headroom while enjoying seamless integration with macOS or Windows, eliminating the need for additional drivers.
The Neve 1073DPX‑D merges two full‑size 1073 channel strips with a 10‑in/12‑out USB‑ADAT audio interface, delivering class‑A, transformer‑balanced pre‑amplification, inductive EQ, and 192 kHz/24‑bit AD/DA conversion in a compact rack‑mount chassis that plugs directly into macOS or Windows without drivers.
Neve preserves the legendary 1970s class‑A architecture, hand‑wound Marinair transformers and stepped‑gain ELMA switch that give the original 1073 its unmistakable warmth and headroom (> +26 dBu). The unit adds a new balanced DI input, switchable phantom power, impedance, pad and phase controls, and a dedicated headphone amp that drives vintage or contemporary headphones.
On the digital side, the built‑in USB/ADAT engine routes ten inputs and twelve outputs, allowing the 1073DPX‑D to act as a central hub or an analogue front‑end for an existing interface. Users can select USB/ADAT Hub Mode to expand a studio with additional Neve pre‑amps, or ADAT Audio Expander Mode to feed two analogue 1073 channels into another converter via a single optical cable.
The device provides zero‑latency hardware monitoring, a classic Neve red loudspeaker‑level knob, and a blend control that balances DAW playback with live inputs. Engineers can send vocals, instruments or stems through the pre‑amp, EQ and DI, then return the processed signal digitally, achieving true analogue colour inside any DAW without patch bays.
Front and rear mic/line inputs, a front DI, pre/post‑EQ insert loops, and balanced XLR outputs give users full routing freedom. Four analogue outputs support monitoring and outboard gear, while eight ADAT outputs deliver multichannel playback. The unit’s robust 2‑U rack format fits neatly into standard studio racks, and its hand‑wired SMT and through‑hole construction ensures long‑term reliability.
