Both iconic in their own right, the 1073 and the 88R are Neve's stellar offerings but from different timelines and with distinct sonic personalities: 1073: Birthed in 1970, the 1073 became synonymous with the golden age of recording. The transformers and unique EQ profile became the secret sauce for countless hits, adding warmth and punch. 88R: A 21st-century creation, the 88R heralded a new era of clarity and precision. Its versatile EQ bands and impeccable transformers made it the go-to for audiophiles seeking uncolored, pristine sound.
