In the Production Expert 10th Anniversary Christmas Competition we offered the chance to win a Neve 1083LB 500 Series Mic Preamp worth $1,063, as one of over 30 great prizes on offer worth over $30,000 in total.

The competition closed on December 31st 2018 and the winner is Trent Williams of London UK.

“I’m a contracting sound editor and field recordist from Wellington, New Zealand. I’m currently living and working out of London in an effort to find new experiences and broaden my aural horizons. Recently, I’ve worked with Magic Leap on a project shown at their Keynote in Los Angeles last year, however my bread-and-butter is producing sample libraries for post communities.

I’ll be pairing the Neve 1073LB with my Neumann U87 which has always needed its own dedicated mic pre and this is the perfect match.

Thank you Production Expert - not only for the amazing prize but also the community you have grown. I’m looking forward to the 20th Anniversary prize draw!”

The Neve 1073LB 500 Series Mic Pre

Originally launched in 1970, the Neve 1073 is the first choice of leading producers and artists, the world over, delivering the unique “Neve tone” to some of the most famous recordings in recent history.

Designed and manufactured in England, the 1073LB retains the unique sonic characteristics of the original Neve 1073 Classic microphone preamplifier by using the same architecture, matching components and original hand-wound transformers. All in a form factory that works in the modern studio environment.

New features have been added to the 1073LB 500 series to make it more user friendly in today’s modern studio workflow. These include a fine TRIM control, switchable microphone input impedance, signal LED, intelligent protected switching of front combi-XLR input connector and Neve’s clever Audio Processing Input design, the 1073LB takes your 500-series rack to the next level.

Simply slide the 1073LB into an empty slot in your 500-series rack, connect your microphone or line level signals and inject that legendary sound into your audio.
