BAE 1073 Microphone Preamp & EQ

Definitive British Preamp/EQ
Neve 80 series consoles defined the sound of 1970s rock 'n' roll; their legendary 1073 preamp and EQ modules wrote the book on characterful mic preamplification and punchy equalization. Done up in classic RAF blue-gray livery, the BAE 1073 Rackmount nails the authentic sound of the vintage modules, using the same hand-wired, transformer-coupled Class A design and original-spec components like Carnhill St. Ives transformers, Elma switches, and Canford wire. With 80dB of gain on tap, the 1073 lets you capture subdued sources with your favorite ribbon mic. Cranking preamp gain enhances your tracks with tasty vintage-style coloration. A highpass filter lets you roll off mud, rumble, and other low-frequency content that can mar an otherwise perfect take. And the 1073's renowned 3-band EQ section can enhance anything. The BAE 1073. Take it from Sweetwater: this is the stuff of legend.
