DAE 1073c Preamplifier - Preamp

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

The DAE 1073c preamp can achieve up to 70 dB gain. This is more than necessary for any of the possible applications, especially with 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

With this switch you will activate the 48v required to power the condenser microphones.

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); This will allow you to optimally match this unit to the microphone you use.

Vintage Aesthetics and XLR Connectors

Rugged metal cabinet with aluminum front and knobs. It has high-quality input-output XLR connectors on the back of it.

Ground connection

Grounding at the back of the cabinet to ensure maximum user protection.

Power supply

Includes external 24 VAC power supply, 2 amps. The external power supply will prevent interaction with other audio circuits and transformers.
