The PREQ-73 PREMIER is a single-channel, vintage-style microphone, line, and instrument preamplifier with a three-band EQ with inductor-based mids providing smooth and efficient tone shaping. The signal path uses only discrete components such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors. Microphone and line input and line output are transformer balanced, using three different transformers, each optimized for its purpose. This is how audio components were built before integrated circuits were available.
The circuitry used in the PREQ-73 PREMIER is similar to the preamp and EQ 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.
