BAE 1073MP Single-Channel Rackmount Pre Without Power Supply

Description

BAE Audio is known for manufacturing high-end microphone preamps and EQs that are faithful to original vintage designs from the ´70s and earlier. BAE prides itself on using high-end transformers for their products, and everything is kept as close to the vintage philosophy as possible. Not only does BAE choose the highest-quality components, they also insist that everything is handwired/soldered using discreet electronics and not economized on a circuit board.

The 1073 MP is BAE´s version of the legendary Neve 1073 equalizer with the same well-known characteristic Class A sound with its harmonically rich low end, slight resonant highs and maintained focused mids. Thanks to the transformer-coupled input with its two selectable impedances, the 1073MP works exceptionally well with a wide variety of microphones. There is also a line input feature for adding depth to 2-bus mixes and a D.I. input for all passive and active instruments. As a colored and versatile micpre, the 1073MP maintains its sonic signature across a wide bandwidth.
