Every once in a while, an iconic piece of hardware takes the music industry by storm and becomes a beloved device in studios around the world. The 1073 was one such piece of equipment. A mic preamp with a unique voice and rich sound, it became famous for shaping the sounds of many musical generations, from the rock and roll of the '70s to the refined pop of the '80s. It was a staple in renowned studios like Abbey Road, Sound City and Capitol Studios and influenced iconic tracks like Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" as well as The Who's "Who's Next."
Today we pay homage to this iconic studio cornerstone with the Behringer 1273, a two-channel microphone preamplifier, with built-in equalizer. 1273 is much more than just a remake. Developed with one of the original engineers, his valuable knowledge and experience ensures that the 1273 not only remains true to the original, but is also capable of meeting the demands of modern production.
The 1273 is built around discrete Class A circuitry that ensures the highest signal integrity with minimal coloration. Each input and output stage is equipped with a high-quality custom Midas transformer, ideal for maintaining signal clarity and integrity. The 1273 also features versatile gain controls for each channel for different input types such as mic, line and instrument, providing complete control and flexibility for different recording scenarios. And if you're switching between different mics, like a dynamic or ribbon mic, pressing the tone switch adjusts the transformer impedance depending on the mic you're using. Ideal when using vintage microphones.
