Recreating one of the world’s most desirables circuits!

With several other brands attempting to clone this vintage design, we decided to go the extra mile. We pride ourselves in delivering not only the most accurate sounding replica of a vintage 1084 but also the most versatile one. Numerous endeavors have been made to achieve the original character, making us confident in saying that you will not find this level of component quality and craftsmanship in any other offering in this price range. When it comes to components, almost correct or similar will not do. We use the right components, and the result is the right sound.

Four-band EQ

The 1084EQ shares the same circuit as the 1073EQ but comes with a four-band EQ with a selectable high shelf (10kHz, 12kHz, 16kHz), a selectable mid-band (350Hz – 7.2kHz), and a low-mid band (35Hz – 220Hz). It also includes both high-pass and low-pass filters.

Premium Components

There are many small details which make the largest contribution to the finished sound. We made the extra effort to source critical components, such as the Vishay, Polystyrene and Tantalum capacitors, 1% metal film resistors and most importantly a Toshiba 2N3055 output transistor, which all hugely contribute to the unit’s sound and character. All these components combined create a unique coloration on this unit, your recordings will benefit from the recognisable warmth of the original, which is described by many as deep and incredibly detailed. There is a reason these units have been the most popular choice in studios for the past 50 years. They create the sonic footprint we associate with professional recordings.

Unlike other offerings on the market this replica respects the original circuit and components. Each unit includes a:

1. Carnhill VTB9045 mic input transformer.
2. Carnhill VTB9046 line input transformer
3. Sowter 1777 output transformer
4. Carnhill Inductors
5. Vishay Capacitors
6. Tantalum Capacitors
7. Polystyrene Capacitors
8. BC550 and 2n3055 Transistors
