Essence of the NEVE 1073 in 4 channels

Get the sound of NEVE 1073 in 4 channels for less than the investment of just one vintage NEVE 1073 module.

Only Vintech-Audio products can convey the magical sound quality of vintage NEVE at such a high level. The model 473 features the same head amplifier as the legendary NEVE 1073 module and Hi/Lo shelving type essential EQ on all 4 channels. The perfect classic NEVE sound by Mr. Upton is reproduced in meticulous detail.

It's amazing that you can get high-level NEVE head amplifiers and EQs in 4 channels at this price. Even if you were to equip an 8-channel or 16-channel input section with this model 473, it would cost about the same as a few vintage modules (plus maintenance costs). The dream of having all your inputs handled by the NEVE 1073 module, something you've only ever admired, is now a reality.

The Model 473 is a masterpiece, meticulously crafted one unit at a time through made-to-order production.

The 2-band EQ section, which encapsulates the essence of NEVE, is more than enough to give instruments and vocals beauty and impact. Even with extreme equalization, the music's resonance remains beautiful, resulting in a smooth and silky sound. The high-frequency bands are switchable between 5.6kHz and 12kHz, and the low-frequency bands between 60Hz and 110Hz.

The head amplifier, with its 70dB gain, delivers the pure sound of the NEVE 1073 (1272). The sound, tuned to maximize the musical appeal, is a testament to the expertise of Mr. Upton, who possesses a deep understanding of vintage NEVE. VIntech-Audio's commitment to quality is evident in features such as the highest-grade step gain controller and custom transformers.

The unit efficiently arranges user-friendly features such as input impedance settings to expand sound-shaping possibilities, a microphone/line switch, 48V phantom power, phase inversion, and EQ bypass. It features independent line and microphone inputs on the rear, a Hi-Z input for instruments on the front, and a variety of outputs including XLR and phone jacks. It's also optimized for tasks like adding NEVE's analog texture to line material or instruments before returning them to a track.
