Get Authentic Neve Punch on Everything

The Neve 1073 Channel Amplifier is easily the most revered preamp and EQ circuit ever designed. Introduced in 1970, this hallowed class-A, transistor mic/line amp with EQ epitomizes the beautiful "Neve sound," with unparalleled clarity, sheen, and bite. Now you can track through the only authentic end-to-end circuit emulation of this legendary piece of audio history, with the Neve 1073 Preamp & EQ Collection.

Create with the Original Classic Circuit

Universal Audio’s Neve 1073 plug-in gives you all the features, unique circuit behaviors, and coveted sound of Neve's original hardware design. By obsessively emulating the dual-stage "Red Knob" preamp, three-band EQ, and post-fader output amplifier, the Neve 1073 Preamp & EQ plug-in gives your vocals clarity, grit, and harmonically rich class‑A saturation.

Record “Through” a Vintage Neve 1073 Preamp With Apollo

UA’s groundbreaking Unison technology lets you track in realtime through the Neve 1073 plug-in using your Apollo, giving you the vintage hardware’s line/mic preamp impedance and gain stage “sweet spots, giving the 1073's full gain and tonal range to your favorite mics. 

Add Clarity and Color to any Source

Employ the Neve 1073 Preamp & EQ Collection for mixing, tone shaping, or simply adding sheen and bite to vocals, guitars, drums and more — without ever leaving the box. To get you started, there are tons of artist presets from the producers of The Strokes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kings of Leon, Luther Vandross, and many more.

What They Say

I've worked with all the UAD Neve plug-ins and they sound exceptionally good. They do exactly what I had hoped they would do.

The new Neve 1073 plug-in is a bigger-sounding, punchier version of the original. The addition of the fader and impedance switch offers more possibilities and an even more accurate representation of the original console.

    Classic

    Faithful rich-sounding rendering of the most classic Neve EQ of all time. I have been in love with the legacy version of this plugin for years....the full version sounds the same but with even more presence and distinction.
