Behringer73 500 Series Microphone Preamplifier

Behringer 73

The Behringer 73 500 Series Microphone Preamplifier brings legendary studio sound to any source material, faithfully recreating one of the most renown preamplifier designs in music history at a price suited for any studio. A 500 Series version of Behringer's formidable 1273 preamplifier, this preamp features all the same bells and whistles that add power, presence, and warmth to every recording. A Class-A, fully discrete design ensures no loss of tone with very low noise, as well as custom wound Midas transformers on both the input and output stages. Far from a simple level knob, these finely tuned analog circuits add subtle harmonic saturation to your signals, increasing body and richness in a mix to craft more impactful audio.

Like the original, the 73 features a stepped main gain control with an additional trim knob to set levels between each position. Main inputs and outputs are connected via the 500-series connector on the back of the module, with an additional front-panel mounted combination XLR/TRS input for on-the-fly connectivity. Satisfyingly clicky switches for phase inversion, impedance switching, and input selection make it easy to get connected to any source when creativity strikes, helping you command your studio with quick control and premium sound. As a primary piece of analog magic that has helped bring the best out of countless legendary recordings, the Behringer 73 brings a crucial tool of music professionals to a new generation of creatives.
