When we finally came around to it, we opened up the possibility of adding certain features like a phase button etc. After that we then tweaked the circuit to make the gain more like a 1073. As this was perfected, we saw the unit become far removed from a 1272 and more like a 1073 minus eq. Hence the \u003cstrong\u003eBAE 1073MP mic pre\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003ePhase reverse button\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eImpedance select between 1200 and 300 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDirect input switch.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBalanced line input \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e48v phantom power\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSame 283 amp card as 1073\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSame transformers as the 1073\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSame hand-wired modular construction that BAE is known for\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTwo Class A preamps with direct inputs in a single rack space with a power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh Impedance direct input for guitar and synthesizer\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eOutput level control serves as gain trim between the 5 dB steps on gain switch\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e70 db's of gain\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBalanced mic input and balanced +4 dB output are on XLR connectors on the rear of the module.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSimilar Class A preamp as Neve™\u003cem\u003e 1073 equalizer\/preamp modules\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePad is an integral part of the gain switch same as Neve™ 1073 equalizer\/preamp modules\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eOversize remote power supply can operate up to four channels of preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e10 day satisfaction guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe 1073MP 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 (gray 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 direct inputs on the front 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.","brand":"BAE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449756708967,"sku":"49770","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/bae_neve_1073mp_mic_pre_rackmount__947__used__5258396_408f9fb4-dd73-40f8-8a4e-4fa2e18351ee.jpg?v=1787090280","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/bae-neve-1073mp-mic-pre-rackmount-947-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
