The HA-73X2 Elite single channel microphone preamp is made to the same specifications as the acclaimed 73 JR II
and DMA 73 Heritage Audio models at an unheard of price.
Using the expertise and reputation obtained with its popular time-consuming hand soldered series, Heritage Audio is
able to offer a zero compromise, high quality yet very affordable alternative to the growing entry-level brands.
A combination of lean manufacturing, modern construction techniques and mass production, 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 Heritage Audio line of products, the rack mountable
HA-73X2 Elite presents the classic sounding recording preamp that, for generations, has been regarded for its rich,
musical qualities and its ability to dramatically improve the sound of almost any source.
Further, it includes the same exact great sounding JFET DI circuit found in the 73 JR II and a fully discrete class A high
pass filter.
With 80 dB of available gain and dedicated mic, line, and instrument inputs; the HA-73X2 Elite has everything you need
to bring microphones and instruments to life with vintage vibe and thickness.
The HA-73X2 Elite features gain, output trim, -20db pad, polarity reverse, a high pass filter, and +48 V phantom power."
It comes housed in a rugged 1RU British steel chassis and utilizes an external power supply for low noise operation."
The HA-73X2 features Carnhill input and output transformers, high quality pots and switches, and best of all is 100 %
made by Heritage Audio.
