Beskrivelse
Conceived in 1972 AMS Neve 1081 Classic (vertical) is a mic/line preamp/EQ section for Neve modular consoles – and still hand-built in the UK using the original components, hand-wound transformers, and time-honed construction methods – the 1081 has proven itself a classic element in top-line producers’ and engineers’ recording front-end or mixing environments. It provides remarkable sensitivity, fast and musical response to transients, plus inimitable Neve equalisation with high- and low-pass filters, its curves and slopes tailored so users can exercise maximum technical and artistic skill.
For multiple units, custom racks – holding two modules horizontally eight vertically – are available.
