Heritage Audio HA73X2 Elite Dual Channel Preamp (Demo / Open Box)

Heritage Audio's elite series Dual-channel microphone preamp made in the same Spanish manufacturing facility as the Beloved DMA73 and '73jr

After almost 7 years making one of the finest hi end outboard gear line in the industry, Heritage Audio is proud to introduce the Elite series.   Leveraging the expertise and reputation obtained with its former hand wired, extremely time-consuming hand soldered series, Heritage 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.  

Made to the same specifications as the acclaimed ´73JR and DMA73 models.

Industry standard Carnhill transformers hand wound in St Ives, England.

80dB, 3 stage fully discrete class A mic preamp.

Line input on separate XLR for adding fat and warmth to prerecorded tracks.

20dB PAD on the mic input to avoid overloading the input transformer when desired.

LOZ, switches the input impedance of the mic transformer from 200 to 50 ohm.

80 Hz hi pass filter. Fully discrete class A.

Ultra high impedance, JFET based D.I.

1 Rack unit format.

External universal power supply for worldwide use

Microphone input impedance: HI, 1200 Ohm minimum, LO, 300 Ohm minimum. Higher gain positions gradually have greater impedances, optimum for low gain ribbon mics. Input is transformer balanced and floating. • Line input impedance: 10KOhms bridging, transformer balanced and floating. • Output impedance: Less than 75 Ohms, transformer balanced and floating, to drive a load of 600 Ohms. • Maximum output: Greater than +26.5dBu into 600 Ohms (internally terminated) • THD: Less than 0.025% at 1Khz, Less than 0.05% at 100Hz. • Frequency response :20Hz (+0.3dB) to 20Khz (-0.2dB). • Maximum Gain: Slightly greater than 80dB. • Equivalent Input Noise: Less than -125dBu. Output stage noise: Less than -100dBu. • Power consumption: Less than 260 mA @48VDC.
