Authentic Neve Preamp Sound, Right at your Fingertips

The Neve mic preamp is an undisputed audio masterpiece, adding genuine Neve sheen, richness, and thick musical detail to any signal that passes through it. The pinnacle of Neve preamp design is the classic 1073® module with EQ, but Neve also briefly produced the 1290TM module — a rare, preamp-only version of the 1073. Now, you can get the clarity, grit, and harmonically complex class‑A saturation of this amazing mic preamplifier in a simple two-knob plug-in that’s perfect for UA Audio Interface owners.

What They Say

The new UAD 1073 Collection is another welcome addition to my other Neve plug-ins! As soon as I instantiated it, everything became nice and warm.

    Simply great

    The UAD Neve preamp plugin is absolutely fantastic!

    It delivers a rich, warm, and musical sound with excellent harmonic character, adding depth, presence, and a beautiful analogue feel to any recording.

    The saturation is smooth and natural, making it easy to bring out the character of vocals, guitars, and other instruments without sounding harsh or artificial.

    Like 1073

    I know that it is not exactly the emulation of the 1073 pre, but I can't hear any difference! I compared it with 4 hardware units of Neve 1073 and... they are all different! All with the expected sound and character. The Neve Preamp plugin was great. Very happy about this plugin. The question is now: should I use the plugin while I am recording OR after tracking, applying the plugin while I mix? Sometimes I feel committed... some other times, especially when I record classical music, I prefer to relay on the converter quality of the Apollo unit and decide which "pre" plugin to use once I mix.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can start a fully functional 14-day demo from any plug-in bundled with the UAD software. Simply click “Start Demo”, and start using it in your DAW.
