<h1>BAE 1073MPF Dual Channel Mic Pre with PSU</h1>
<span style="font-size:16px; font-style:italic;" href="RSPE Product Description Template.html" title="RSPE Product Description Template">Dual Channel Mic Pre with High Pass Filter, gives you the sonic character of the legendary Neve™ 1073 mic pre section with modern performance. </span><br/>
<br/>
<div>
	The BAE 1073MPF is the high-pass filter version of the 1073MP. The 1073MPF is the mic pre-amp version of the 1073 equalizer, sharing the the same well-known characteristic Class A sound with its harmonically rich low end, slight resonant highs and maintained focused mids.<br/><br/><span style="background-color: initial;">A transformer coupled input, with two selectable impedances makes the 1073MP work well with a variety of microphones.<br/><br/></span><span style="background-color: initial;">There is also a line input feature for adding depth to 2-bus mixes and a DI input for all passive and active instruments.<br/><br/></span><span style="background-color: initial;">As a colored and versatile mic-pre, the 1073MP maintains its sonic signature across a wide bandwidth.</span>

<h3>External 24V PSU</h3>
	While other rackmount preamps use an internal power supply, BAE chose to go a different route in the form of an external PSU. The advantages of an external PSU are many. To begin with, not having space constraints allows BAE to design the power supply without compromise. Plus, it makes the shielding concerns of integrated power supplies a non-issue. When power supplies are built into the same chassis as the audio circuitry, nearby audio paths are susceptible to nasty magnetic fields radiated from the transformers, which adds noise and hum. Additionally, the preamp’s components are subject to extra heat generated from transformers, regulators, and rectifiers—and as we all know, heat is the enemy of electronics. It causes unwanted changes in operational parameters and premature component failure.
<br/><br/>
For optimal sound quality, the BAE 24V PSU provides four times the current necessary to power a preamp—and since the BAE 24V PSU can power up to two BAE units, the BAE 1073MP comes with and without power supply. If you already have a BAE 1073 and power supply, you can add another for stereo operation or adding the Neve console sound to a passive summing box.

<h3>Who’s Using BAE:</h3>
<i>
"BAE has been an integral part of my record making for many, many years now. I have owned the mic pre's, EQ's, and racks for years. The dedication to costumer service is something one can count on. With the advent of the Avedis 1122 OpAmp, the classic 2520 opamp was brought forward into the future. Mark has also made a point at looking back at certain designs and his attention to detail shows in the new products that he is working on. I am very happy to announce and toast Mark's (Loughman) new ownership in the company. I forecast excellent things to come. —

"During the recording of many of the Steven Slate Drums sessions, we used lots of BAE mic pres and equalizers. They made it easy to get some of the best drum sounds I've ever heard."  —

“What all 312a users say about clarity and punch is absolutely true. They are very versatile pre amps and aside from the obvious with guitars, drums, and vocals, I really enjoy using these pre's with bass and synth sequences.” — <b>Ilan Rubin (NIN, Paramore, Lostprophets)

“I was just screwing around with my BAE 1084 when it hit me, wonder what my Space Bass would sound like in this. I plugged it in and the sound was so pure and natural I thought I was on stage in the ‘Mothership.’ This thing sings with tone, punch, and straight-up good, solid sound that will stand out in a mix with loud drums and guitars.” –

“Two thumbs way up! In my opinion, the BAE 1073 and 1084 modules sound every bit as good as the original Neve modules I have used my whole career (we've had blind fold audio "shoot out" tests in my vintage Neve room and there is absolutely no difference). Nothing comes as close to my original Neve EQ/mic preamps as BAE products. And in my opinion, BAE products surpass all the competition in build quality; from the point-to-point wiring, to the audio traces on their cards, original St Ives (Carnhill) transformers, nickel plating, impeccable craftsmanship, and wow! —no old dirty switches and pots. (Did I mention they plugged right in to my vintage Neve 8014 frame from 1970 flawlessly!) Plus, Mark and the staff over at BAE are totally professional and a pleasure to deal with.” —
