From Our Research Team:Two Channels of 1073-Style Preamps with "Essential EQ"!NOTE: This product requires a Vintech Power Supply, not included. Call for assistance.The Vintech Audio 273 features two 1073-style microphone preamplifiers for less than the price of one vintage 1073! The 273 includes "essential EQ" on every channel. Vintech calls the high and low shelving EQ adjustments "essential" because they really help to enhance certain instruments and impart a certain magic to the sound like a vintage Neve 1073. Frequency choices are 5.6kHz and 12kHz for the highs and 60Hz and 110Hz on the low shelving but can be special ordered at other practical frequencies. Each channel also offers an input sensitivity adjustment allowing up to 70db of gain, an input impedance switch, a mic-line switch, an instrument input and switches for phantom power, phase reverse and EQ on or off.

Well this is my entry into the world of high end pre's and this unit is pretty stellar. Everything I've recorded thus far has just completely has been taken up a level. The picture is becoming more cl... read more [+]ear to me. If you want to make records that sound on par with the greats you've got to do it with quality gear. If you're looking to get a lot for your money this is a great piece of gear. October 19, 2011 Music Background: Producer, Composer, Mixer, Musician Highly endorsed. If you're stuck, talk to Kurt Martin. He'll help you figure out what solution is best for your studio and workflow. He's really great to work with. close [-] great dual preamp

Big, dimensional sound like we've heard all our lives! I use it for tracking most anything. Useful hi and low pass filters. People needn't worry here about this preamp being too colored. This is the k... read more [+]ind of colored your DAW needs. A beautiful pre that can be described with a combination of adjectives that would normally contradict one another: punchy/shimmery/smooth/aggressive/fat/airy/warm/clear. It does all this. The 273 has improved the quality of my recordings tenfold. close [-]

I just bought this unit after trying it out for a week in my studio. I hit it withAugust 25, 2009 Music Background: 23+ mixing, writing and performing. Clients include JIVE Records and Merv Griffin Productions. guitar, vocals, drums and bass and it did a really nice job on all. I own the LA-610, Grace m201 and Focusrite... read more [+] 428, but what the Vintech brings is a huge personality - not quite as colored as the 610. Be aware that there are no input or output meters on this thing ( I was surprised). Also, even though it has an instrument in, Dallas Upton at Vintech recommends using a DI for instruments and going thru the Mic input as the 1/4" instrument input is not true "HI-Z." I tired this and got a much cleaner signal. I do recommend this pre for drums, guitar and vocals. close [-] Great Pre!

I picked up this after hearing gushes of praise for the classic Neve sound. First, I love this thing's quarter-inch front panel inputs for synths.

It's wonderful to have 2 input channels of fantastic high quality. A great choice. I use it all the time, and after a year of knob twiddling, I've only started to explore its available sound colors. close [-]
