The Vintech 273 Preamp & Equalizer is the perfect choice for amateur and professional alike! Whoever needs a great pair of preamps and just enough eq on-board to "tilt" some brightness or beef into the sound will be well served by the classic sound and easy to use layout of this unit.

The Vintech 273 Microphone Preamp & Equalizer is the perfect choice for amateur and professional alike! Whoever needs a great pair of preamps and just enough EQ on-board to "tilt" some brightness or beef into the sound will be well served by the classic sound and easy to use layout of this unit. The Vintech 273 Microphone Preamp starts with the very same Class A Preamps in the Neve 1073 module and then provides "essential EQ" on each channel. These equalizers are two high and low shelving EQ's per each channel with two frequency selection points for each, allowing you surprisingly flexible tone-shaping for the sound you're recording.

The Vintech 273 Microphone Preamp & Equalizer is great for artists or recordists looking to get the great sound of Vintech in a stereo-pair for the front-end of the recording (or live sound) system without having to resort to separate units. Plus, the Line Inputs allow you to access the EQ for sweetening tracks you have already recorded. The onboard DI instrument inputs on each channel, make the Vintech 273 Microphone Preamp one of Front End Audio's recommendations for keyboard or synth players looking to negate the sterility of their instruments' outputs for recording or sending to the front of house for the gig. Check the Vintech 273 Microphone Preamp out on kick and snare! It's a great upgrade for that, alone. But, it's equally good on everything. Vintech, again, provides a winning solution for better sound.

The Vintech 273 Microphone Preamp & Equalizer requires the Vintech X73 Power Supply Unit for operation! By using a separate remote power supply, Vintech units maintain an extremely low noise specification.
