AMS Neve 1081 Classic Microphone Preamp and EQ Module (Mono)

The AMS Neve 1081 is a classic mono preamp/EQ originally built for the Neve 80-series consoles and still made today by hand in Burnley, UK, using the original components, hand-wound transformers, and refined construction methods. The AMS Neve 1081 is a member of the original 10-series preamp/equalizers whose siblings include the venerable 1073, 1084, and 1066. All of the preamps in the series share precisely the same input and output sections, with the only difference being the equalizer sections in order to offer more tonal options. The difference between the 1081 and the 1073, is the addition of high- and low-pass filters with five center frequency options. While the high-frequency band of the 1073 is a shelving EQ with a center frequency of 12kHz (one of the reasons it's so popular), the 1081 offers five center frequencies with selectable shelving or peak curve.
