Product Description

The BAE 1084 Mic/Line Preamp/EQ yields a really fat sound. It adds subharmonics to the low end which makes the bottom end sound huge. It smoothes the top end which gives the highs a silky sheen. As well the BAE 1084 compresses transients a little bit. It is a smooth, fat, larger than life sound. Use the DI inputs to fatten samples, synths and mixes since the DI can handle line levels.

The equalizer is very broad-banded and musical. It has a hi-pass filter with four frequencies- 45 Hz, 70 Hz, 160 Hz and 360 Hz. It has a low-pass filter with five frequencies- 6 kHz, 8 kHz, 10 kHz, 14 kHz and 18 kHz. The low end of this equalizer is so tight that you can boost 220 Hz and not muddy up the sound. The mid-band has six frequencies - 350 Hz, 700 Hz, 1.6 kHz, 3.2 kHz, 4.8 kHz and 7.2 kHz. Additionally, the 1084 has a "Hi-Q" button on the mid band for narrower bandwidth. The high band is shelving and is selectable with three frequencies- 10 kHz, 12 kHz and 16 kHz. It is smooth and silky and a little goes a long way.
