Chapter 24: Neve 1073 Equalizer

Input Gain

The Input Gain control sets the level at the input of the
plug-in. The range is from –20 dB to +10 dB.

When the Input Gain knob “snaps” to the OFF position,
plug-in processing is disabled and UAD DSP usage is
reduced (unless UAD-2 DSP LoadLock is enabled).

Note:

Clicking the OFF screen label toggles between

OFF and the previously set Input Gain value. You can also click the Neve logo
to toggle between OFF and the previous state.

High Shelf

The High Shelf knob offers approximately ±18 dB of smooth
fixed frequency shelving equalization at 12 kHz.

Rotate the control clockwise to add the famous high-end
Neve sheen, or counter-clockwise to reduce the treble re-
sponse.

Midrange Band

The midrange band is controlled by dual-concentric
knobs, delivering smooth semi-parametric midrange
equalization.

The response for this band has a dependence on the
bandwidth as the gain is adjusted. At higher center fre-
quencies, the Q goes up, for a more focused peak.

The inner knob controls the band gain, and the outer ring selects the fre-
quency or band disable. These two controls are detailed below.

Midrange Gain

The equalization gain for the midrange band is selected with the inner knob
of the dual-concentric control. The available range is approximately ±18 dB.

Midrange Frequency

The Mid frequency is selected with the outer ring of the dual-concentric knob
controls. The ring control can be dragged with the mouse, or click directly on
the “silkscreen” text to specify a frequency or disable the Mid band.

Note:

You can also click the midrange symbol above the knob to cycle

through the available values, or shift + click to step back one frequency.
