AMS Neve 1073DPX-D Dual Channel Microphone Preamp & EQ with USB/ADAT
Description
1073DPX-D - Classic Tone. Digital Workflow.
The 1073DPX-D is a dual 1073® channel strip with integrated USB/ADAT audio interface, bringing legendary analogue tone directly into the digital workflow.
The 1073DPX-D extends the legendary 1073 into the digital domain, combining dual-channel analogue signal paths with an integrated high-performance audio interface. With USB and ADAT digital connectivity, the unit functions as a versatile hub for recording, mixing, and monitoring, making it equally at home in professional studios, live rigs, and mobile recording setups.
With ten inputs and twelve outputs, the dual-channel 1073DPX-D provides flexible studio-wide connectivity. Two analogue input paths sit alongside eight channels of ADAT expansion, while four analogue and eight ADAT outputs offer comprehensive routing options. This scalable I/O design enables the 1073DPX-D to serve as the focal point of your studio, seamlessly connecting all of your tools to your DAW.
Designed for effortless integration, the 1073DPX-D’s class-compliant USB interface requires no additional drivers, enabling immediate plug-and-play connectivity with Mac and PC systems. A single USB connection provides direct DAW access to the unit’s dual-channel analogue signal path and processing, making it ideal for both studio and mobile recording workflows.
The 1073DPX-D features versatile ADAT input and output connectivity with two distinct operating modes. In USB/ADAT Hub Mode, additional units such as the 1073OPX or another 1073DPX-D can be connected via ADAT to scale your system and expand channel count. In ADAT Audio Expander Mode, the unit functions as a dedicated ADAT expander, integrating a complete dual-channel 1073 signal path into your existing audio interface with minimal setup.
The 1073DPX-D transforms into a dual-channel hardware insert, bringing authentic 1073 analogue processing into your DAW. Tracks can be routed through the unit’s class-A preamps, Marinair transformers, and inductor EQ, then returned digitally via USB or ADAT, enabling seamless integration of Neve tone into modern recording, mixing, and production workflows.
