Estimated delivery in Italy between 16 and 18 June
500 series microphone preamplifier
HERITAGE AUDIO 1073/500 is a 500 series microphone preamplifier introduced at the end of 2011, which set the standard for full 1073s in the 500 Series format.
With its imposing 3-slot chassis, it is essentially a HA1073 80 series re-formatted, using the same boards and components in the same modular construction technique.
Fully hand-wired and built like a tank, the HA1073/500 will offer the same quality and prestige to your studio as its 80 series brother.
It was updated in 2013 to the Anniversary edition, which includes an output level control.
