Page 7 Digital Innovation The 1073SPX-D is the latest innovation in the Neve 1073 line, combining a complete 1073 channel strip with a powerful digital audio interface. Featuring USB and ADAT connectivity, the 1073SPX-D becomes a one-stop- shop for recording, mixing &...
Page 8 Rack Mount Instructions  Elevated Operating Ambient- If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (30°C) specified by the manufacturer.
Page 9 The 1073SPX-D is USB 2.0 compliant; USB 2 and USB 3 ports can be used for digital audio transfer. Once a Stable connection is made, (and the AMS Neve Audio Driver is installed for PC users) the USB LED will illuminate Blue.
Page 10 Windows To operate on a Windows 10 PC, download and install the 1073SPX-D Driver from - https://www.ams-neve.com/1073SPX-D/#MoreInfo > Downloads Follow the setup wizard instructions to install the driver. To select the 1073SPX-D as your PC Audio Interface, navigate to –...
Page 11 The DIGI switch activates the digital line input, fed from DAW output 3 named Neve Out 3 (Digi/Mon 3). This input is designed so that the 1073SPX-D can act as a USB or ADAT hardware insert by sending DAW signals directly into the SPX-D line preamp.
Page 12 Gain Switch The 1073SPX-D gain switch is used to select the input type (Mic or Line) and set the preamp gain level for the selected input. Preamp gain is incremented in 5dB steps, ranging from -20 to +10 of line level, and -20 to -80dB of microphone level.
Page 13 The DI input has a high impedance of 2MΩ. DI signals pass through the microphone transformer and mic preamp stage of the 1073SPX-D. To apply gain to an instrument DI, set the 1073SPX-D gain switch to the microphone input side of the switch, and adjust gain accordingly.
Page 14 EQ Section The 1073SPX-D uses a three-band inductor-based EQ circuit, identical to the classic 1073 80-series modules. The EQ circuit also includes a choke-based high pass filter. EQ Switch The three-band EQ and HPF are activated via the EQ switch. Unless EQ is switched, the EQ and HPF are completely bypassed.
Page 15 Output Connections & Controls Phase The Phase switch reverses the phase of the 1073SPX-D output signal. In the default position, absolute phase is preserved through the unit. When Phase is depressed, the output signal of the unit is inverted by 180 degrees.
Page 16 Monitor Input The two monitor in L and monitor in R connections are used to input a stereo monitor source into the 1073SPX-D analogue monitor path. These connections are ideally used as monitor connections from an external audio interface, providing an additional monitor attenuator control via the HP/LS level pot.
Page 17 Blend The blend control is used to crossfade stereo DAW and mono SPX signals into the 1073SPX-D stereo monitor path. This pot is designed to allow for latency-free monitoring when tracking through the 1073SPX-D. • At the centre position, DAW and SPX signals are each attenuated by 6dB.
Page 18 The USB 2.0 B-type port is used along with the cable(s) provided to connect the SPX-D to your computer as an audio interface. When connected, the 1073SPX-D can be used as both a playback and recording device for the connected computer and DAW software applications.
Page 19 USB/ADAT Hub Mode The 1073SPX-D has two possible modes of digital operation. USB/ADAT Hub mode enables the 1073SPX-D to function as a 9x12 I/O USB audio interface for your Mac or PC, expandible via ADAT in and out connections. Connect the 1073SPX-D to your computer via USB. The USB LED will illuminate once the computer selects the SPX-D as its audio device.
Page 20 Internal/ADAT clock source selection In USB Hub mode, the 1073SPX-D can either clock to its internal clock source or can clock to an external source via the ADAT input. Note: sample rates must be matched on both devices when using ADAT clock mode.
Page 21 Sample Rate/ ADAT Channel Count Configuration When using the 1073SPX-D in USB/ADAT Hub mode, adjustments must be made from within the audio driver in order to correctly map the unit’s digital ADAT I/O to the available channel count at the requested sample rate.
Page 22 To configure for 88.2 or 96kHz sample rates, select –  Input – 6 channel(s)  Output – 8 channel(s) To configure for 176.4 or 192kHz sample rates, select –  Input – 4 channel(s)  Output – 6 channel(s)
Page 23 To configure the ADAT channel count for your selected sample rate -  Navigate to the Applications>Utilities>Audio MIDI Setup  Select Neve SPX/DPX Mic Preamp from the Audio Devices Window  Select Input & Output tabs to configure the ADAT I/O channel count To configure for 44.1 or 48 kHz sample rates, select –...
