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.
Features * All Class A, transformer-coupled design in a 19' 1U chassis * Line-level XLR inputs for extra versatility as a line preamp * High-impedance D.I. for guitar and synth * The same Class A components as the 1073 and 1084 * Illuminated phase reverse and phantom power push buttons * Input impedance selector switch between 1,200 and 300 ohms * Same modular design and hand-wiring BAE is known for * Regulated linear power supply will run up to four channels
