Heritage Audio HA73EQX2 – Dual-Channel Mic Preamp with EQ

The Heritage Audio HA73EQ is now twice as awesome with its brand-spankin’ new dual channel format! After the enormous success of its single channel predecessor, we are proud to welcome the new member of the Elite Series family, the HA73EQX2 Elite.

Equipped with two mic pre/equalizers in the same rack unit, our double EQ will bring twice the mojo for less than twice the money to your recording studio, increasing your processing capabilities with the premium audio excellence of our Elite Series.

The HA73EQX2 Elite is made to the same specifications as the acclaimed ´73JR, ´73EQJR and DMA73 Heritage Audio models at a price never heard before.

Leveraging the expertise and reputation obtained with its popular hand wired, extremely time-consuming hand soldered series, HA is able to offer a zero compromise, high quality yet very affordable alternative to the growing entry-level brands.

A combination of mass production, lean manufacturing and modern construction techniques, minimizes hand labor and therefore its high associated costs when manufacturing takes place in Western Europe. By passing the savings straight into the end users´ pockets, Heritage Audio releases the most affordable outboard preamps and equalizers in its class up to date.

Key components to obtain a true vintage sound are indeed maintained, like the industry standard Carnhill transformers, hand wound in St Ives, England.

Manufactured in the same Spanish facilities as the rest of the HA line of products, the HA73EQX2 Elite rack mountable mic preamp equalizer presents the complete classic recording channel that, for generations, has been regarded for its rich, musical qualities and its ability to dramatically improve the sound of almost any source.
