The i73® PRO 2 audio interface aims to provide musicians, producers, and sound engineers with an easy path to that analog experience that has inspired music creation since the early 70s. The i73® PRO 2 incorporates the same Class A transformer-balanced circuit as Heritage Audio’s classic 73-style preamps, offering the end user the ability to record with all that mojo and classic vibe, but, for the first time, directly from the i73 to a computer.
Heritage Audio studio quality
The very first USB-C interface with two built-in 73-style preamps coupled with a pure Class A transformer is finally a reality, making the full analog experience of the golden age of recording accessible to everyone, anywhere, anytime. As with all Heritage Audio 73-type preamps, there are three input options so the end user can run vocals through the MIC preamp with up to 70 dB of gain, an electric guitar or bass through the fast and dynamic JFET DI, or through the LINE inputs. The i73® PRO interfaces allow the user to route the signal, whatever it is, to a digital audio workstation with true studio quality.
A complete analog experience
A Class A 73-type preamp is only the first step to achieving that full analog experience the Heritage Audio team was after... a low-latency monitoring mixer console was developed from the ground up so the user always hears what they need, whether through your speakers or headphones, each with its own independent mix configurable in the MIXER embedded in the i73® PRO interfaces. To take the experience even further, the 73® PRO 2 allows real-time track processing in the Heritage Audio MIXER with an ever-growing set of tools modeled after Heritage Audio’s external and private vintage hardware collection, running internally on the interface’s DSP. Record DRY and WET signals from the MIXER to your DAW simultaneously. You can even insert third-party native plugins via the MIXER’s auxiliary channels. The i73® PRO 2 gives its users the right tools to control their work like in the days of recording studios, right out of the box, so they can capture tracks in their DAW and finish the job leveraging a modern home studio workflow.
Focus on what matters, your music
In the golden age of studios, recording and control were done with a limited set of tools, favoring quality over quantity and thus leading musicians and engineers to focus on the music rather than the technology. All classic recordings from the 60s and 70s only needed a musician, a good microphone, powerful preamps, an equalizer, compression, and the unique warmth of a tape machine to create the hit sound we grew up with. The full analog experience of Heritage Audio: refocusing on music creation with a complete set of ready-to-use tools that allow any musician or engineer to record with true studio quality anywhere.
Vintage sound at your fingertips
In trying to define what made the golden age of recording studios so appealing, even by today’s standards, Heritage Audio noticed these legendary studios used just the right amount of gear when recording, focusing solely on the music and the musician. The i73® PRO brings this concept to every musician’s home studio by providing the right tools for monitoring their work, right out of the box. That’s why they all come with a collection of DSP-powered recording effects (BRITSTRIP, H240 GOLD FOIL VERB, HA1200 TAPESAT, HA15PRO bass amp, HERITAGE TAPEOPLEX, SMALL RECORDING AMP SERIAL# C 17744), modeled after Heritage Audio’s own external cards and private vintage hardware collection. These unique DSP-powered audio effects are also provided natively with an easy recall function so everyone can capture tracks in their DAW (both processed and unprocessed) and finish the job leveraging a modern home studio workflow.
