Lives for gear
This is THE vintage Neve Electronics 1073 eQ module taken off from the vintage console 8014. This unit, built in the early '70, was in good condition and all the electronic components are original.
What differentiates this unit from the modern reissues by AMS, or the other clones or racked units, are some components that cannot be found anymore and they made that unique sound. The Philips BC electrolytics and the Motorola power transistor (not the recent production made in Mexico) are the responsible of his open, deep and detailed sound. At 0dB gain changing the band control the unit shows different coloration at the sound for each band and ALWAYS the pleasant roll-off at the top end. The original Marinair/St.Ives transformers give that rich harmonic sound. In particular the lovely saturation in the low band and the silky hi-mid with the classic roll off at the upper high: a characteristic which is present always on every band of the original equalizer, here sampled with all natural imperfection and nuance, thanks to top notch converter and a properly 96kHz sampling process. In this pic you can see the frequency response with the classic distortion in the low end due to the saturation by original vintage output transformer: I have carefully captured ALL the natural harmonic contents in the unit, in the actual programs they are limited to 5kernels but I hope in the future to improve the programs to 10k... When I'll switch to 64bit system. Please note the high THD value without noise, alias or distortion... The pure sound pleasure: High filter (shelf) Low Filter (shelf) and the bell curve (Mid filter) and the very musical Low Cut Filters This library won't be protected like previous programs: no need for authorizations anymore Download demo version here:AlexB Nebula Programs - 73Q PRO: Vintage 73 eQ PRO Demo limitations: - Only a few and fixed gain settings are available for each band - The 220Hz setting for the low band has been completely removed - Demo programs have 3kernels while the commercial programs have 5kernels (FULL), 3kernels (SE) and 1kernel (ND). *You can use this demo with ALL nebula versions, including the FREE ones.

The FAT console
It was the first of the “80 series” of legendary top class consoles and it bears “His” name. His preamp modules have established themselves as the most sought after mic-pres in the history of recording. This is especially true for vocals. The amazing summing amp gives a rich, warm and fat sound…that “magic” sound !
The programs:
Carefully sampled @96kHz in a professional recording studio with hi-quality audio and digital cables and master grade converters with audio levels perfectly matched and calibrated. They are precisely programmed without normalizing or other destructive digital processing. The programs don’t sound processed, harsh or digital as most plugins do, but instead sound like a natural extension of the original audio, gluing your tracks in the mix with an analog vibe. . Basic programs with full dynamic and harmonic content 10 kernels . Special edition “se” programs (CPU friendly) 3 – 5 kernels . Deep, wide, dynamics with the feeling and character of a real top-class analog console . 16 Different input channels arranged by Line, Mic, mono and stereo . 6 Buss Group programs: clean and slightly colored for drums, percussion, synth pads, backing vocals and electric guitars . 1 Send Return Buss . 2 Mix Buss Out: clean and vintage sound . Precision Analog Panner with -3dB Pan Law . Better sound with less CPU and RAM load . Over 800MB library programs ![]() Related posts:![]() Comments are closed.
