Neve 1081 Stereo Mic/Pre EQ

2 x 1081 Modules in a 3u Stereo Rack

A Neve engineered perfect re-issue of the classic transformer balanced mic-pre/EQ, so beloved by the great producers of the 70’s.

The 1081 Channel Amplifier was first produced in 1972 and was used to provide the mic/line amp and EQ section in classic Neve consoles such as the 8048. Neve today are quoted as saying, “these units feel and perform exactly as a unit purchased in 1972.”

Featuring XLR I/O, phase reverse, EQ in, line input, switchable impedance 300 or 1200 Ohms and all features and frequencies of the original. The 1081 EQ has a peak or shelf switch in the top and bottom frequencies and Hi Q selection on each of the mid bands.

The 1081 provides remarkable sensitivity, fast and musical response to transients, plus inimitable Neve equalisation featuring effective high – and low-pass filters designed to separate unwanted signal outside the passband. This gives users a flexible tool with which to shape new sounds and control any part of the audio spectrum. The curves and slopes have been carefully tailored to enable users to exercise maximum technical and artistic skill.

Over three decades of engineers have found the 1081 indispensable for recording and mixing drums, bass and percussion.

Featuring XLR I/O, phase reverse, EQ in, line input, switchable impedance 300 or 1200 Ohms and all features and frequencies of the original.
