DIY Neve Preamp

The preamp modules from Neve’s vintage consoles are without a doubt the most replicated and imitated of all time. These modules are the 1272 (one preamp and one voltage gain stage) and the 1920 (two preamps and one voltage gain stage) circuits. The famous module numbers, such as 1073 and 1084, are not in fact preamps but combined preamp and equalizer channel strips. Much of the “Neve Sound” derives from the discrete, class-A circuitry as well as the sonic character of the input and output transformers. The originial transformers, made by St. Ives and then Marinair, have long been out of pruduction but there are many reproductions on the market today from Carnhill, Sowter, et al.
