Vintage Neve 1084 Pair in Powered Rack

Yes, these are the most desirable Neve modules, having the circuit design and topology of the venerated 1073, but with even more EQ frequencies.  The Neve 1084 is considered by many top engineers to be the epitome of Rupert Neve's design philosophy, and these vintage originals are as sweet as they come.  Mounted in a Shep Associates Powered rack with phantom power and output faders, these pristine modules will be the treasure of your collection. 

The AMS Neve 1084 rivals the 1073 in popularity due to its wide palette of frequency selections. While sharing the identical preamp and output section as the 1073 and other members of the 10-series (1081, 1073, 1066), its EQ section also includes the ability to switch between two different “Q” types, either narrow or wide with respect to the parametric band. The modular design of the 1084 is a nod to the original intent of the 10-series preamps, which was to populate the Neve 80-series consoles of the '70s. All of the preamps in the series share the same input and output sections but feature a differently outfitted equalizer section. The reason for this was to maintain sonic consistency across the console while offering the engineer a palette of tone-shaping options that they could commission for the console. For example, a console could be outfitted with eight channels of 1073s, eight channels of 1084s, and so on, all while maintaining the signature sound of the Neve 10-series.
