Neve built Wessex a 28-input console called the A88, which was the first desk to be fitted with the model 1073 channel amplifier/equalizer module. Rupert Neve, whose young company had been earning a good reputation for building new-generation transistor-based audio consoles for broadcast and studio. One might wonder where the recording world would be without the channel strip that Rupert Neve and company designed almost 50 years ago.īirth of the British Sound: It all started in 1970, when London’s Wessex Studios were looking to install a new console. The so-called "British Sound," or "British Iron," as it is often referred to, originated with Neve's consoles and the 1073. Like those historical names, the 1073 has achieved legend status. Only a handful of other studio devices - Pultec, Fairchild, Teletronix - have been revered for so long and used so well. The recent introduction of the new AMS Neve 1073 SPX mono mic-pre/EQ channel reminds us that the venerable 1073 module brings with it a long and storied history.
