jesse g Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Sound On Sound Magazine wrote an January 2024 review of the Monoprice 1073 Neve-Style Microphone Preamp Clone. This mic preamp is a 2 channel preamp which is affordable to the budget studio owner (Like Me) !! ? SR Studio™ by Monoprice™ See Here ~~> SR Studio 2‑Channel 1073‑Style Microphone Preamp - Currently selling from Monoprice for $499.98 See Here ~~> SR Studio 2‑Channel 1073‑Style Microphone Preamp - Currently selling from Amazon for $499.98 Other places it's selling for $599.99 All the classic characteristics heard on countless recordings, now possible at your disposal. The SR Studio™ 2‑Channel 1073‑Style Microphone Preamp is a vintage‑style microphone, line, and instrument preamplifier. The signal path uses only discrete components, such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors. The input and output is transformer‑balanced, using two different transformers, each optimized for its purpose. The circuit used is similar to the preamp section in the classic 1073 module, with a corresponding sound character that is warm, punchy, sweet, and musical. These classic characteristics have been heard on countless recordings throughout the years. It is a versatile sound that works well on most sound sources and in most musical genres. Two independent channels Completely discrete component signal path One high‑impedance instrument input for any sound module, electric guitar or bass Up to 80dB gain capable of handling passive ribbon mics with quiet sound sources Combination XLR/TRS input jack and separate output XLR and TRS jacks for flexible connections. Tell me what you think. Edited March 12 by jesse g 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roseberry Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Intriguing at that price point. If it's anywhere close to the 1073 sound-wise, it's a fantastic deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it will be true to a Neve 1073 or even as close as my WA73-EQ preamp, but I want a stereo 1073 style preamp or clone to add to my master bus. As hardware goes, this will do nicely, as long as it turns on LOL ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse g Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 It's a nice unit, however, I just purchased another WA73-EQ to give me a stereo pair in my studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roseberry Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I've got a pair of WA-273-EQ units. For the cost, I think they're great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
