Broad Tonal Palette

The PRE-73 MKIV gives you a wide range of tone-shaping controls to capture just the sound you're after. Turn up the Gain to drive the preamp tubes and get that sought-after vintage grit and punch. An independent Output control lets you crank the Gain without overloading your interface. Engage the -14dB pad for even more headroom with hot signals. Roll off rumbling lows with the low-pass filter or add shimmer to the highs with the Air EQ switch. Plus, the selectable impedance lets your mics perform at their best.
