Classic 1073-style warmth with modern reliability

Inspired by the legendary 1073 design, the Behringer 73 Microphone Preamplifier delivers rich, warm tones with a modern twist. Its Class A, all-discrete signal path ensures high signal integrity, making it an excellent choice for professional and home studios alike. Whether you're recording vocals, instruments, or line-level sources, this preamp captures every detail with depth and clarity.

The inclusion of custom-built Midas transformers adds to the signature sound, enhancing musicality and presence. With a robust 500 series format, it fits seamlessly into your existing setup, providing vintage character with contemporary performance.

Custom-built Midas transformers for a musical touch

At the heart of this preamp are its custom-built Midas input and output transformers, designed to bring warmth, depth, and a pleasing harmonic character to your recordings. These transformers shape the sound in a way that enhances both subtle details and bold performances, making them ideal for any recording application.

Precision gain control with low-noise performance

The electronically controlled, resistor-stepped 80 dB gain switch allows for precise level adjustments while maintaining ultra-low noise. This means you can drive the preamp for added warmth or keep things clean without introducing unwanted distortion.

A dedicated trim level control lets you fine-tune the output, ensuring optimal levels in any recording scenario. Whether you're working with delicate condensers or high-output dynamic microphones, the preamp provides the flexibility needed to achieve the best possible sound.

Intuitive operation with illuminated controls

Designed with ease of use in mind, the Behringer 73 Microphone Preamplifier features clearly illuminated switches for phase inversion, Hi/Lo impedance selection, and front/rear input choice. This makes adjustments quick and hassle-free, even in low-light environments.

A built-in signal indicator helps monitor levels at a glance, while the integrated phantom power switch ensures seamless compatibility with condenser microphones. Whether in a professional studio or a compact home setup, this preamp simplifies workflow while delivering top-tier audio quality.
