- Model: PRE73

Vintage-style all-discrete circuit design
Equipped with UK-made Carnhill input and output transformers.
Additionally, the microphone input impedance can be switched (1200Ω/300Ω), allowing you to add tonal character from clear to vintage.
The most convenient feature is the AIR EQ, which is essentially a high-shelf EQ that enhances high-end clarity and airiness. It pairs exceptionally well with Neumann-style microphones that have a strong midrange. For streamers who find their sound lacking clarity or sounding muffled, this feature is a perfect match.

I also own the genuine NEVE1073lb, and I've often thought that if it had the AIR EQ, I wouldn't have needed to use a separate EQ multiple times.

The sound is comparable to the genuine article, leaning slightly towards a clearer tone with remaining transients.

While it's very versatile and allows for quick sound shaping with one-touch switching, many clients have requested the use of the genuine article. It also doesn't fit in my rack, so I'd like to pass it on to someone who can utilize it!
