500 Series Class A Mic Pre

BAE Audio has released a 500 Series version of the 1073MP (a mic pre-amp version of the 1073 equaliser) which they say has the same well-known characteristic Class A sound with its harmonically rich low end, slight resonant highs, and maintained focused mids. They tell us that two selectable impedances makes the 1073MPL work well with a variety of microphones and that, as a coloured and versatile mic-pre, the 1073MPL maintains its sonic signature across a wide bandwidth.

Features:

• All Class A, transformer-coupled design in a 500 series module.
• Original Marconi knobs.
• Input impedance selector switch between 1200 and 300 ohms.
• Line level capability for extra versatility as a line preamp.
• High impedance DI for guitar and synth.
• Same Carnhill St Ives transformers as the 1073 and 1084.
• Same modular design and hand-wiring BAE is known for.

$899
