The BAE 1073MPL brings the legendary sound of the classic 1073 preamp EQ into a compact 500 series module. If you are looking for the warm and harmonically rich low end, the silky highs and the focused mids of a true Class A transformer amplifier, this module is an ideal choice for your rack.

With its two selectable impedance levels, one thousand two hundred ohms and three hundred ohms, the 1073MPL adapts beautifully to different microphone types.
Whether you use a condenser, dynamic or ribbon microphone, this preamp brings out the best in every signal with the familiar analog warmth. The line input can also add depth and character to mixdowns and gives tracks a refined vintage presence.


Thanks to the high impedance direct input, the 1073MPL is equally well suited for electric guitars, basses and synthesizers. Instruments remain powerful and lively and retain their full dynamics while the preamp adds a rich analog color.
BAE is known for its high quality hand wired preamps built on classic circuitry. The 1073MPL uses original Carnhill St Ives transformers, the same type found in the historic 1073 and 1084 preamps. The original Marconi knobs provide a classic feel and precise operation.
The BAE 1073MPL is the ideal choice for anyone who wants the famous 1073 preamp sound in a space saving five hundred series format. Used as a classic mic preamp, a direct input box or a line preamp, it delivers unmatched analog warmth and depth.
