1073采用Class A级变压器, 而1081之后选用了Class A/B变压器,这也带来了风格和音色上的不同。 31102是在后来再次改进的产品,最早出现在Neve 8068控台上, 31102模块已经变成了纯粹的话放(线放部分已经交由控台处理)。 相对大量的录音师和混音师喜欢将1073用于人声而言, 他们更加喜欢将31102用于鼓组和吉他等乐器。
I would have much prefered to see the 1081mkII, maybe even a 1081 with a 1073 pre instead of the original class A-B pre on the 1081. Instead we get more of the same... The Lindell 80 series is excellent though - and it's done the way ...
