Heritage Audio 73 JR Preamp Plug-In - Electronic Delivery

The Heritage Audio design that started it all is now available as a plug-in - the Heritage Audio 73 JR Preamp Plug-In. About 15 years ago, Peter Rodriguez, CEO of Heritage Audio, decided to use all his knowledge as a music producer and engineer to recreate his favorite microphone preamp with a few improvements, all while sparing no cost on materials.

It took Heritage's development team months to re-create the performance of the original units. They modeled everything from the Heritage-exclusive Carnhill input and output transformers to the unique discrete Class A high-pass filter. Every component is critical to the hardware’s mojo, and they didn’t miss a thing.

The only added feature to this perfect design is a blend knob, because it's so much fun to push this baby to the limit and do parallel gain staging right in the plugin. Being a plug-in, you can have 1, 2, 24, 48, or as many as you need, allowing you to create your own vintage mixer sound. This really is as good as it gets. And you’ll surely see that this is as close as it gets to the hardware units.
