NEVE 1073 Channel Clone

3 stages Class-A: 80dB Microphone Preamp

Full 1073 Filter section


This package includes three boards: one board for gain stages 1 & 2 (BA189), the second board for the output amp (BA283AM) and the third board for the entire 1073 EQ/filter section, including make-up gain. Add small parts to the boards, transistors, inductors, wire up your input and output transformers, a gainswitch and a few connectors: voilĂ ! Build it yourself and save a bunch.


The configuration is based on the BA189+BA283AM -- instead of the BA284+BA283AV, as found in the original 1073. I found that this 3-board topology (borrowed from the 1290) worked best. All stages are functionally equivalent. For example, the second half of the BA284 (i.e. the make-up gain) is included on the filter board. The circuit is otherwise 100% faithful to the original Neve circuits. All parts are standard.


The top layer is for chassis ground; the bottom layer is for signal and audio ground. All discrete paths, approaching star-ground for the grounding scheme. Isolation is of the utmost importance and all wiring points have shield connections. The traces are thick and curved -- no sharp bends or abrupt intersections.


The measurements are a follows:


   BA283AM              -- 78mm x 88mm

   BA189                   -- 61mm x 82mm

   2-74 Filter Board   -- 100mm x 140mm


Schematics and a Bill of Materials will be provided. Bulk pricing is available -- and I also do combined shipping.


Cheers!
