Legendary two-channel preamplifier with a 3-band equalizer and customized Midas transformers. The 1273 is based on the highly regarded and good-sounding 1073 design. The preamplifier gain adjustments allow for the connection of microphones, instruments, and line-level inputs, and the 80 dB gain adjustment is electronically controlled and resistor laddered for extreme precision.
