BAE 1073MPF Single-Channel Mic Preamp with PSU
Single-channel 1073-style microphone preamp with Class A sound, harmonically rich low end, slight resonant highs, focused mids, and inductor based high pass filter - includes PSU
MFR# SIN73MPFWPS
Product Description
The BAE 1073MPF is a preamp and filter-only version of the legendary Neve 1073 equalizer. With classic Carnhill transformers a hand-wired Class A design, the BAE 1073MPF perfectly captures the unmistakable sound of the original Neve 1073. Ideal for producers and engineers who want to add depth to two-bus mixes or mix-and-match preamps and EQs, the BAE 1073MP captures the unmistakable tone of the most iconic preamp ever made.
UNPARALLELED ACCURACY
The BAE 1073MPF uses the exact same circuit design as the original Neve 1073—from the Carnhill transformer coupled input to the hand-wired Class-A design. The BAE 1073MPF captures the same iconic sound signature and wide bandwidth as the original. Known for its rich low-end, edgy highs and focused midrange, the 1073 has been used on countless hit records. And now it can be yours—for a fraction of the price.
The BAE 1073MPF also introduces new features for added versatility. An all-new line input on the rear can be used to process line-level signals—perfect for fattening up the mix bus! And with a DI input for passive and active instruments on the front, there’s no signal that won’t benefit from the colorful sound of the BAE 1073MP.
CLASSIC CONTROLS
The BAE 1073MPF features a silky-smooth Elma rotary switch and classic red knob for setting line and mic level gain. On the left, the blue knob controls the high pass filter, which has a fixed slope at 18 dB per octave and is switchable between 50 Hz, 80 Hz, 160 Hz and 300 Hz. This gentle, music filter is perfect for everything from removing rumble and room noise from vocal recordings to taming kick drums and bass cabs or even high-passing cymbal mics to remove drum bleed.
Four push-buttons provide added functionality for a wide range of studio applications. The DI button engages the high-impedance instrument input for recording guitars and synths, while the LINE enables the line-level input.
The 48 V button provides phantom power for condenser microphones. The phase reversal button inverts the phase of a signal—perfect for recording snare bottom mics! Finally, a toggle switch on the right lets you select 1200 or 300 ohm microphone impedance for capturing pristine sound with any microphone.
Features:
- All Class A, transformer-coupled design in a 19" 1U chassis
- Inductor based high pass filter
- Line level XLR inputs for extra versatility as a line preamp
- High impedance DI for guitar and synth
- The same Class A components as the 1073 and 1084

anything this pre touches sounds amazing! Open and focused. The high pass allows for hitting a compressor without bass info triggering too much.

I love it but people can’t tell the difference between this one and the Warm Audio 1073.

I’ve been using my BAE 1073MPF for almost a month now, and it’s been a revelation. Up until recently I’ve been the standard bedroom producer who’s tracked everything direct into my Apollo interface’s preamps, and while it’s been a good run doing that, this 1073MPF has been a massive upgrade. I get to color my sound however I want, I get the added tonality of all my tracking going through amazing circuitry, the hi pass filter is not just your average hi pass, it actually adds a color to my ears as well that is just lovely.
I want to thank Vintage King for allowing me to demo the 1073MPF (along with other preamps) before deciding to purchase it. That was crucial in getting me to take the lunge into actually buying my first preamp. -
Does the 1073 thing perfectly. Fantastic build quality!

Buyer's Guide: Microphone Preamps
03.15.2019Read More
A crucial link in the audio chain is the microphone preamplifier, aka the mic preamp or mic pre. The output level of a microphone is very low and requires amplification to bring it up to line level. That’s what a mic pre does. But a mic preamp can’t drive a pair of speakers; that’s the job of the main amplifier.A key part of the job for a mic pre is to keep input noise to a minimum and to amplify without distortion.
Being the first amplification stage of the microphone signal, the mic preamp is essential to getting a good sound. Choose a poor one and you’ll be working harder to overcome its limitations. Choose a good one and processing your sound will get a lot easier. But what are the differences between average preamps and better ones? Let’s look at some of them. Continue reading →
