Vintage Neve 1073 Preamps from RCA Studios Hollywood

Looking for a vintage Neve 1073 preamp that carries real music history? These fully restored modules come straight from the legendary RCA Studios Hollywood—originally part of the iconic Neve 8028 console used on countless records and film scores throughout the 1970s. Built for one of the most important studios in Los Angeles, these Neve 1073s represent the holy grail of analog preamp tone.

After its tenure at RCA, the console was acquired by producer Dennis Herring and used on sessions for Kendrick Lamar, Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello, and Buddy Guy. Now, the modules have been meticulously restored and are available at Providence Sound and Vision—ready to bring that same sonic magic to your studio.

What Makes These Vintage Neve 1073 Preamps Special:

  • Authentic vintage Neve 1073 modules from RCA Studios Hollywood

  • Fully serviced and restored to original specifications

  • Capacitors, EQ bypass, and phase switches replaced with new old stock components

  • Custom chassis by Marquette Audio Labs

  • Premium hand-wired power supply with XLR connections

  • Dedicated DI with Cinemag transformer for perfect impedance matching

Few pieces of gear hold this much pedigree. If you’ve been chasing that classic Neve tone, this vintage Neve 1073 preamp delivers the unmistakable sound heard on decades of legendary recordings. This is more than gear—it’s a piece of music history.

Building An Audiophile-Grade Meyer Sound System At Stephen Curry’s Bourbon Bar

When Stephen Curry was looking for a Bay Area space to feature his award-winning bourbon, Gentleman’s Cut, he created The Eighth Rule – an intimate bourbon-driven bar with only 40 seats, hidden behind an unmarked door below the historic Westin St. Francis.
