AMS Neve BCM10/2 MK2 Console

Designed in 1969, the classic BCM10's class-A design, transformer balanced topology delivered ultimate audio performance throughout the golden era of studio recording. The modern BCM10/2 MkII introduces routing & monitoring options for use in today’s studios, with multiple configurations to allow any artist, producer and engineer to harness the iconic Neve sound.

The BCM10/2 MkII 80-series module slots can house the classic hand-built 1073, 1084 preamps or the modern 1073N, each with class A topology and Marinair Transformers.

All module options feature the world-famous 1073 preamp, capable of producing up to 80dB of mic gain by layering transistor gain stages on top of each other. This unique design lets you dial in the precise gain levels via the 5dB switch and, if required, drive the preamp to produce subtle harmonic saturation.

The BCM's 1073, 1084, or 1073N modules use exclusive Marinair specification transformers to balance the microphone input, line input and output stage, helping to create the unique character of this classic console.

The three-band EQ from the 1073, 1084 or 1073N uses exclusive, hand-wound inductors to produce musical, sound sculpting results. This equaliser, complimented with a choke-coupled high pass filter, gives complete control over the frequency spectrum.

The famous 1073 18dB/octave high pass filter is ideal for cutting out unwanted low frequencies and delivering complete control over the frequency spectrum, with 1084 modules installed, frequency control is enhanced with the addition of a switchable low pass filter.

For those looking for further EQ control, the 1084 modules use the same preamp design as the 1073 but feature an expanded EQ palette with selectable high-frequency bands, low pass filter and mid-band Hi-Q setting.
