1073SPX-D: The World’s First Genuine 1073 Interface
Neve is thrilled to announce the newest addition to its outboard lineup: the 1073SPX-D. By merging the renowned 1073® preamp with a robust digital audio interface, featuring USB and ADAT connectivity, Neve has pioneered a true game-changer—the world’s first genuine 1073 interface.
Legendary Preamps
For six decades, Neve preamps have led the charge in studio technology, offering a premium front-end system that instils confidence in engineers, artists, and producers, allowing their creativity to flourish. The 1073SPX propelled this technology forward, catering to modern workflow demands. Now, the 1073SPX-D elevates this legacy to even greater heights.
Digital Innovation
The 1073SPX-D represents Neve’s drive for innovation in the esteemed 1073 line, by seamlessly integrating a full and genuine 1073 channel strip with a robust digital audio interface. USB and ADAT digital connections transform the 1073SPX-D into a versatile one-stop solution for recording, mixing, and monitoring in any studio setting or audio application.
Custom Workflows
The SPX-D’s innovative digital interface offers versatile functionality, catering to a multitude of workflows. Musicians can seamlessly connect the 1073SPX-D directly to a PC/Mac, streamlining the process with a simple ‘plug & play’ setup. Additionally, the 1073SPX-D acts as an ADAT audio expander for existing audio interfaces, allowing home studio users to integrate a complete 1073 channel strip into their setup with ease.
Analogue Legacy
The 1073 reigns supreme as the epitome of preamp excellence, embodying the Neve sound revered by professionals. Attempts to replicate its essence have all fallen short. The 1073SPX-D combines class-A circuit design with pristine AD/DA conversion technology derived from their immensely popular range of converters, delivering unparalleled sonic character.
Meticulously crafted by the expert Neve engineering team, the 1073SPX-D offers pure audio, to audio purists.
Robin Porter, Chief Engineer at AMS Neve says:
“The 1073SPX-D is a natural evolution of our analogue and digital circuit designs. After extensive research, it became clear that there was no single device that can handle both the analogue processing and digital conversion capabilities that the 1073SPX-D now offers in a single rackmount unit. Now, small home studio setups, or artists on the road can access the famed 1073 sound directly from their desktop or laptop computer, without the need for additional equipment. When our team began development of the 1073SPX-D, a no compromise approach to circuit design was applied throughout, ensuring that the 1073SPX-D remains true to the Neve name, and delivers the sound quality that our customers demand”.
