Alctron MP73EQ V2 Microphone Preamp and Equaliser Version2 1073 Professional

MP73EQ-V2 Microphone Preamp and Equaliser

This classic high-end single channel microphone preamplifier and equaliser is based on a Neve 1073, and allows for the use of a wide variety of microphones with its impedance selector on the input. 11 frequency selections, and fully discrete signal path.

Onboard EQ and Filter

The MP73EQ has a switchable high pass filter, which lets you cut out the mud and other useless low-frequency noise that can cloud up your sound. Shelving high and low-frequency EQ controls with selectable cutoff frequencies give you an enormous range of tone, and semi-parametric mid control lets you dial in frequencies from 360Hz all the way up to 7.2k – perfect for fine-tuning your sound.

Solidly Built, New Look

This preamp is built in a proper way without integrated circuits in the signal path. Transformer balanced inputs and outputs, 3-band EQ with good old frequency selection and adjustable bass filter. The MP73EQ also has several features that are rare in this price range, such as selectable impedance on the mic preamp, separate mic and line inputs, and a DI in front that is worth the price alone. 

Classic “English” Sound

The MP73EQ’s saturation (harmonic density and richness) and EQ curves are like the classic 1073. The saturation in the low end has the same sound signature as the classic mic pre. It is also very quiet and has alot of gain headroom.
