We integrated the same inductor based high pass filter that's in the 1073 and added it here to the 1073MPF. \u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhase reverse button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpedance select between 1200 and 300 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect input switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced line input \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48v phantom power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame 283 amp card as 1073 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame transformers as the 1073\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame hand-wired modular construction that BAE is known for\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 1073MPF preamp yields a really fat sound. It seems to add subharmonics to the low end which makes the bottom end sound huge. It smoothes the top end, giving the highs a silky sheen. The BAE 1073 slightly compresses transients, as well. It is a smooth, fat, larger than life sound. An added bonus is to use the front-panel DI inputs to fatten samples and synths and instruments. Balanced line-level inputs on the rear allow for fattening and punching up entire mixes, or in a signal chain with other +4 gear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet the gain knob (red Marconi) around 20 on the dial and set the output (grey knob) fully clockwise. This gives you the highest headroom and cleanest signal path. Every click is in 5db increments so if one click is too hot, attenuate the output to get in between the 5db steps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother trick people like to do is to put the final mix through the balanced line inputs on the back to get that harmonic distortion. To get even more of that Class A output stage is to come out of channel 1 and into channel 2 then you have an accumulative effect of that classic output stage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePower supply Sold separately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BAE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449783480423,"sku":"51453","price":1095.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/bae_neve_1073mpf_mic_pre_rackmount__0570__used__5502792_9483031c-7741-4e91-865e-f402e1266d9a.jpg?v=1787090393","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/bae-1073mpf-mic-pre-rackmount-0570-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
