The 1073 is a [[Electronic amplifier|Class-A]] design microphone/line preamplifier with three equaliser bands.<ref name="Neve 1073 Console Module">[http://mixonline.com/TECnology-Hall-of-Fame/1970-neve-1073/ Mix Online] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090523201940/http://mixonline.com/TECnology-Hall-of-Fame/1970-neve-1073/ |date=2009-05-23 }}. Retrieved 26 October 2009.</ref> The equaliser has a fixed [[Hertz|12kHz]] high frequency band and switchable low and mid range bands with cut and boost controls.<ref name="Neve 1073 Console Module" /> There is also a passive third-order (18&nbsp;dB/octave) high pass filter. Two switches were also fitted on the module's front panel for equaliser bypass and phase polarity.<ref name="Neve 1073 Console Module" /> The 1073 module was designed to be part of the 80 series Neve console. It was never intended for use as a stand alone module.<ref name="Neve 1073 Console Module" /> It is now regarded as a "desert island" preamp by many recording engineers, and has been used on a countless number of hit records over the past 30 years from Rock, Rap, Hip-hop, to Classical. The sound is described as very big, fat, and colored. The factor contributing to the larger than life sound is greatly attributed to the design of the transformer which seems to add subharmonics to the signal.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.eqmag.com/article/ams-neve-1073/Dec-04/2262 | title=AMS-Neve 1073 | first=Lynn | last=Fuston | work=[[Electronic Musician]] | publisher=[[NewBay Media]] | date=1 December 2004 | accessdate=29 October 2013 | url-status=dead | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090710203546/http://www.eqmag.com/article/ams-neve-1073/Dec-04/2262 | archivedate=10 July 2009 }}</ref> The Equalizer section of the 1073 is regarded as very "musical" and practical and has become the favorite choice of many engineers for recording and mixing.
