Neve 1272 Schematic ~upd~ Here

When modified, the 1272 becomes a 2-stage mic pre (input transformer + BA283), whereas the 1073 uses a 3-stage preamp (input transformer + BA284 preamp card + BA283 output amp). This gives the 1272 a slightly faster, punchier transient response compared to the 1073.

The 1272 uses a 4-position rotary switch to set gain from +4 dB to +14 dB in roughly 3 dB steps. This is achieved by altering the negative feedback loop around the BA283. Neve 1272 Schematic
