I have some docs on the 1099, may be similar.  But what is the issue with the module?  They are usually made up of common smaller bits like BA283, etc.

there is no issue or module,  but wanted to  take a look at some things. I don't know how close the 1095 and the 1099 are.
I am sure they are comprised of similar bobs and bits like the ba438 and ba440....

I have the tech doc for the BA440 / BA440A / BA440B if you need that

plus I found this:

1295 - Line Amplifier - BA438 in A1
1295/A - Line Amplifier - BA440 in A1

Oh, right, later 10 series used the 3xx and 4xx amps.  PM me your email and I'll send everything relevant.

EDIT: Backtrack that - I opened the 1099 docs and it uses BA102, 106, 205, 211, and 283 cards.  I made a .zip file and put it in Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/k18xn2eiexl8ols/Neve%201099%20%26%20More.zip?dl=0
 
I've put the schematic/overlay in the tech docs. The BA382 motherboard was used for a few different modules, some didn't have the input switching circuit.
 
Amazing, thank you!  So the 1095 uses the 4xx series cards on a 382 motherboard while the 1099 uses the earlier cards.  Seems like a crossover period perhaps.

As a side note, I have two 3104 modules which use the dreaded 3xx series amps.  Need to restore those soon...

thank you.  FWIW
there is the beautiful Neve up for grabs. unfortunately I do not have 475K  lying around to pick up such an item.

That's a bit of an odd one! I do a bit of repairs on the Neve at Konk studios, also ex-Utopia with 1095 modules. They're more like 8078 prototypes, with full width modules and 1272 summing amps, rather than the skinnier 3**** modules on the 8078

I don't like the SSL style knobs on it, I guess someone got sick of having to tighten the neve knob grub screws

Yep, the Utopia desks, as well as a couple of desks that went to South Africa, were the predecessors and, IMHO, better desks.
On the channel amps, the 1095 uses the same motherboard as the 31105 and the only real difference between those two is a line input with stepped gain for the 1095 vs a continuous pot for the 31105. 

It's been a while since I looked inside one but I think the EMI-Neve 1093's also used the same motherboard.
Anyway you cut it, these are all wonderful channel amplifiers. 


Edited to correct info.

31102 was a class-A module similare to a 1084 without a line input. 1093 and 1095 are similare to the 1081, 4 band EQ plus HPF and LPF

Must be old age - I meant to write 31105 in the above *not* 31102.
Thanks for the correction, I'll edit my post  :)

Is that the one from the Utopia remix room? I think it must be as studio 1 had an 8108

I liked the remix room console

Hey Nick,
As originally built,  wasn't the remix desk for Utopia  "line in" only? 
 
I think this thread covers your questions!

Winston - yes same motherboard on the EMI Neves. The console at the Church has 1091 input modules, mic input only. The line input is a separate module, input switching is controlled in that module too. Can't remember the number for it

Found this Neve with 1095s in south africa, shame there's not any better photos!

Hey thanks for the links, I'd never heard of the module number 1107. 
So has the ex Utopia remix desk had its 38 X 1107 'line in only' modules converted to 1095's do you know?

I think the EMI-Neve's with the separate line input module with individual Simpson VU's are about the sexiest of the bunch, and make good sense from a switching perspective.

Thanks too for the link to the South Africa desk.    I've never seen a complete S.A. desk myself but a good friend bought a couple of 1095's from Dan Alexander about 25 yeas ago and the panel nomenclature was/is written in Africaans so I assume they were originally installed in one.

Cheers  :)
 
Yeah, saw some of the Afrikaans screened modules at Matt Marinelli's place a few years back.  We have one of the SABC "Green Phone" mixers here which also has dual language markings and some not-seen-elsewhere bits.  One of these days I am going to trace out a module...
