The BAE 1023 is a 10 Series mic pre/EQ module based on the famous 1073. lt is totally hand-wired using the same Carnhill (St. Ives) transformers and inductors as the vintage modules. It has the exact same mic/line preamp as the 1073 but with significantly more frequencies in the mid and hi sections:

The BAE (formerly Brent Averill Enterprises) 1073 preamp yields a really fat sound. It seems to add subharmonics to the low end which makes the bottom end sound huge. It smoothes the top end, giving the highs a silky sheen. The BAE 1073 slightly compresses transients, as well. It is a smooth, fat, larger than life sound. An added bonus is to use the front-panel DI inputs to fatten samples and synths and instruments. Balanced line-level inputs on the rear allow for fattening and punching up entire mixes, or in a signal chain with other +4 gear.The B.A.E. 1073 equalizer is very broad-banded and musical. It has a hi-pass filter with four frequencies- 50 Hz, 80 Hz, 160 Hz and 300 Hz. The low frequency band is shelving and has four frequencies - 35 Hz, 60 Hz, 110 Hz and 220 Hz. The low end of this equalizer is so tight that you can boost 220 Hz and not muddy up the sound. The mid band has six frequencies - 360 Hz, 720 Hz, 1.6 kHz, 3.2 kHz, 4.8 kHz and 7.2 kHz. The bandwidth is broad so you can boost or cut a lot without making things sound processed or unnatural. The hi band is shelving and is fixed at 12 kHz. It is smooth and silky and a little goes a long way. Features:

The BAE (formerly Brent Averill Enterprises) 1084 modules are authentic reproductions of vintage Neve™* 1084 console modules. They fit racks for vintage Neve™* modules as well as fitting into vintage Neve™* A series consoles. The BAE 1084 preamp yields a really fat sound. It seems to add subharmonics to the low end which makes the bottom end sound huge. It smoothes the top end which gives the highs a silky sheen. As well the 1084 compresses transients a little bit. It is a smooth, fat., larger than life sound. The B.A.E 1084 equalizer is very broadbanded and musical. It has a hi-pass filter with four frequencies- 45Hz, 70Hz, 160Hz and 360Hz. It has a lo-pass filter with five frequencies- 6kHz, 8kHz, 10kHz, 14kHz and 18kHz. The low end of this equalizer is so tight that you can boost 220Hz and not muddy up the sound. The mid band has six frequencies- 350Hz, 700Hz, 1.6kHz, 3.2kHz, 4.8kHz and 7.2kHz. As well, the 1084 has a "Hi-Q" button on the mid band for narrower bandwidth. The high band is shelving and is selectable with three frequencies- 10kHz, 12kHz and 16kHz. It is smooth and silky and a little goes a long way. *NEVE IS EITHER A TRADEMARK OR REGISTERED TRADEMARK OF AMS-NEVE LTD, AND BAE IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH SUCH ENTITY.
