The PRE-573 PREMIER is a vintage style single channel microphone, line and instrument preamplifier. The signal path uses only discrete components such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors. Microphone and line input and line output are transformer balanced, using two different transformers, each optimized for its purpose.
This is how audio components were built before integrated circuits were available. The subjective sound quality delivered by vintage equipment is often preferred over that delivered by modern units, a situation that is even more evident now when music is recorded with clean sounding digital audio equipment.
The circuitry used in the PRE-573 PREMIER is similar to the preamp section of the classic 1073 module with a corresponding sonic character that is warm, punchy, smooth and musical. These classic characteristics have been heard on countless recordings over the years and it's a versatile sound that works great on most sound sources and in most genres. The essence of this sound is now available at a surprisingly low cost, making it accessible to almost anyone.
