Introducing the 1073OPX: Where Tradition Meets Innovation.

Featuring eight remote-controllable 1073® preamps in a compact 2U rack, the 1073OPX combines classic sound with modern convenience for space-conscious studios.

Key Features:

1. USB/ADAT Digital Option: Enhance your setup with the optional 1073OPX USB/ADAT Card (sold separately). It offers two modes:
• USB/ADAT Hub mode: Expands the 1073OPX into a USB Audio Interface, supporting up to 16 inputs and 10 outputs through a single USB connection.
• ADAT standalone mode: Digitally expands ADAT-compatible interfaces using optical connections, adding eight 1073 preamps and stereo output.

2. Remote Control: The 1073OPX app enables remote control of switch settings, gain, and routing. Ideal for modern studios, live venues, and broadcast setups. Control up to eight OPX units for 64 remote-controlled preamps.

3. USB/Dante AD/DA Conversion: With the optional 1073OPX USB/Dante Card (sold separately), experience premium AD/DA conversion up to 192kHz for all eight preamps. Dual ethernet ports offer redundancy in Dante networks, while USB 2.0 connection turns the preamp into a complete studio interface.

4. Marinair® Transformers: Employing patented Marinair® transformers ensures unmatched preamp quality and tone across the eight microphone inputs.

5. 1dB Stepped Gain: Achieve ultimate accuracy with 1dB stepped gain control, perfect for stereo pairs and instrument groups through local or remote adjustments.

6. Mic, Line, DI Inputs: Versatile inputs for microphone, line, and instrument sources with separate gain settings, tailored for modern recording setups.

7. Class A DI: Unique class-A design and FET transistor in the instrument DI deliver musical coloration and high performance.

8. Smart Switch Controls: Intelligent phantom power circuit supplies +48v to microphone inputs only. PAD switch offers -25dB attenuation, and 180-degree phase flip aids multi-microphone setups. An 80Hz 12dB/Octave filter cuts unwanted bass frequencies.

9. Lo Z Impedance: Toggle between 1.2kOhms and 300Ohms to optimize preamp impedance for any microphone type.

10. Front & Rear Connections: Dual input connections with independent switching allow seamless integration into studio racks without the need for re-patching.

11. Monitoring & Summing: Analog and digital monitor paths connect to loudspeakers with headphone monitoring. Preamp outputs can be routed to the monitor path for latency-free monitoring or summing.

Elevate your studio`s capabilities with the 1073OPX – the perfect blend of classic Neve sound and modern functionality.
