AMS Neve 1073 EQ

The AMS Neve 1073 is an iconic microphone preamplifier and equalizer module that has been a staple in professional recording studios for decades. Here are some key features and details about the AMS Neve 1073:

• Classic Design: The 1073 is based on the original Neve 1073 module, which was introduced in the early 1970s. It embodies the classic British console sound that has been sought after by engineers and producers for its warmth, punch, and musicality.
• Microphone Preamplifier: The 1073 features a microphone preamplifier with selectable input impedance (300 or 1200 ohms) and up to 80 dB of gain. It is designed to amplify low-level microphone signals with minimal noise and distortion, allowing for clean and transparent recordings or adding harmonic coloration when desired.
• EQ Section: The 1073 includes a three-band equalizer. It features low-frequency shelving (LSF), mid-frequency bell (MBF), and high-frequency shelving (HSF) bands, each with boost/cut controls. The EQ section is renowned for its musicality and ability to shape the tonal balance of audio signals with precision.
• Legendary Sound: The 1073 is celebrated for its ability to add warmth, depth, and character to audio signals. It is often used to enhance the sound of vocals, guitars, drums, and other instruments, as well as for recording entire mixes through its line input.

Overall, the AMS Neve 1073 is a legendary piece of audio equipment that continues to be revered by recording engineers and producers for its timeless sound and versatility in a wide range of recording and mixing applications.

About Xtreme Samples Q-Clone Libraries

Xtreme Samples Q-Clone libraries are clearly superior to the native EQ plugins in terms of authenticity in relation to the hardware unit. Even compared to DSP platforms ( UAD , TC , etc.) the results of processing are more transparent and natural. Just like in case of convolution reverb, the characteristics of the original hardware will be captured far better as in case of an algorithmic DSP calculation.

Xtreme Samples Q-Clone presets represent specific filter positions of hardware equalizers. These positions have been transferred to a software environment and stored using convolution technology. There are two types of Xtreme Samples Q-Clone presets: single presets and application presets.

A single preset emulates the position (cut, boost, or flat) of a single EQ filter (e.g., high shelving filter), while other EQ filters are bypassed. An application preset captures the positions of two or more EQ filters simultaneously. Single presets are suitable for easily editing audio signals, such as treble/mid/bass boost/cut or low or high cut filters. By using the Q-Clone function 'Add,' which allows users to combine multiple single presets, they provide a broad foundation for creating custom EQ presets.

Application presets offer more complex EQ settings and are divided into two groups: mixing and mastering. Mixing presets include various settings sorted by application (e.g., presets for bass, drums, guitars, vocals, etc.). The mastering section is categorized by musical genre, such as pop, rock, dance, etc.

AMS Neve 1073 Q-Clone Equaliser library for Waves Q-Clone Plugin

provides 272 EQ presets for high-quality processing of audio signals in the mixing and mastering process. There are all of the AMS Neve 1073 hardware filters available. The frequencies of each filter were created in many small boost or cut - gradations ( usually +- 1dB ), processed by a high-end AD conversion for use with Q-Clone. The entire library is directly integrated into the Q-Clone preset browser.
