Formidable Tone Shaper: The 1073 EQ Comprising a highpass filter, high and low shelving EQs, and mid-frequency EQ, the 1073’s EQ section can be used to subtly or dramatically shape a signal and is considered to be among the most flattering EQs ever made.

Designed in 1972, the Neve 1081 was originally conceived as a combined mic/line preamp and equalizer section for the Neve modular consoles.

What type of EQ is this api550b & 550A?

With their vast range of tonal possibilities, the API 550A and 550B are a pair of versatile EQs with that one-of-a-kind API sound. “I’ve thrown the API plugins on every track — they sound great, very similar to the way I remember the original API hardware sound.”

How are EQ and preamp on Neve 1073?

If you’ve ever seen inside an original 1073 channel module, you’ll know that squeezing all that circuitry and the large transformers and inductors into an API 500-series Lunchbox module format just isn’t physically possible. Consequently, AMS Neve has split the 1073’s preamp and EQ sections into two separate but related Lunchbox modules.

The 1073LB is the preamp proper, accommodating the transformer input and output stages into one unit, while the 1073LB EQ contains the separated equaliser section.

When to use EQ to accentuate vowel sounds?

Know sibilance and how to avoid it. Sssssssibilance in vocals is when the sound of the letter “S” sounds more like a hissing snake. You can accentuate vowel sounds / add presence by increasing the EQ in the 4.5Khz to 6Khz. However, the “S” sound lives between 5Kkz and 7Khz.

How is the EQ connected to the preamp?

Plenty of modern preamps are quieter, but I never found input noise to be an issue, even at high gain settings. The preamp and EQ modules can be linked via a single send and return cable. This enables you to patch the EQ into the preamp as an insert processor, between the preamp’s input and output transformers.
