BAE 1073D 500-series Mic Pre/EQ

The 1073 is the most legendary and beloved microphone preamp/EQ, and for good reason. Its origins date back to the early 1970s when Rupert Neve, in many people’s opinion, invented the ‘holy grail’ of  recording with his 1073 preamp/EQ.

The BAE 1073D (Deluxe) is essentially a 1073 in 500 Series format , as authentic and true to the original as possible when made for the 500 Series format. It uses the same St Ives (Carnhill) transformers as the originals, Elma switches, and Canford wire—this is the real deal.
To accommodate all the components without compromising, a 3-space chassis is used.
