DAE 1073c Preamplifier - Preamp - One Channel


DAE 1073c preamplifier recreates the unmistakable sound of the Neve 1073. It is a Class-A solid-state preamplifier with Carnhill input and output transformers with soft treble and mid-low pitches performing high definition and presence. This circuit is pritty similar to the original Neve BA 183, it only differs in the three old stage rotary wrench which is replaced by a modern internal electronic key that minimizes the produced noise by the jumps in the gain regulation steps. DAE 1073c offers an indistinguishable sound from the original Neve 1073 with a very affordable price.

FEATURES

High gain

DAE 1073c preamp can achieve up to 70 dB gain. It outperforms the necessary gain for any possible application, more over with the modern high performance condenser microphones.

Staggered gain control

12-position rotary knob that allows precise gain adjustments in steps of 5dB, from 15dB up to 70dB.

Volume control

Volume control with high quality metal potentiometer. You can combine this control with different gain levels until you get the "coloring" you want in the signal.

Phantom power

This switch let's you activate the required 48 volts to power the condenser microphone.

Phase inversion

It reverses the polarity of the signal. This will be very useful when you need to make stereo recordings by combining one of the DAE 1073c channels with a channel from another unit.

Impedance selector

You can choose between two possible values in the input impedance of the equipment: 300 Ohms (low impedance) or 1200 Ohms (high impedance). Thus you will be able to optimally match your current microphone with DAE preamp.
