Equalizer / channel strip

TheEQ-73 PREMIER uses a Class A circuit similar to that in the EQ section of the classic 1073 module, without the high-pass filter. Additional frequencies have been added, and the midrange band is equipped with two Carnhill (UK) inductors. The second inductor is optimized for the lowest frequencies (160 Hz and 240 Hz), guaranteeing optimum response.

EQ-73 PREMIER highlights

Warm, punchy, smooth and musical sound, suitable for a wide range of musical genres and sound sources.
Carnhill inductors for high-quality midrange, guaranteeing precise low-frequency response.
Flexibility with a wide frequency range from 20 Hz to 24 kHz.
Bypass switches for each band, for detailed sound control.
Affordable version of the legendary vintage sound, offering exceptional value for money.

Key features of the EQ-73 PREMIER

Warm, punchy sound

The EQ-73 PREMIER stands out for its smooth, musical sound character, while retaining the warmth and impact of the classic 1073 sound. It's perfect for adapting to a variety of sound sources and musical genres.

Extended frequencies and flexibility

With additional frequencies, the EQ-73 PREMIER covers a range from 20 Hz to 24 kHz. The midband uses a bell curve, while the low and high bands operate in a plateau, offering greater flexibility in equalization.

Carnhill inductors for top-quality mids

The two Carnhill inductors used in the EQ-73 PREMIER ensure optimum response at low frequencies (160 Hz and 240 Hz), for a richer, more accurate sound.

Stand-alone or rack-mount

The EQ-73 PREMIER can be used standalone or integrated with a Golden Age Audio preamplifier. By combining a PRE-73 preamplifier with an EQ-73 PREMIER and a UNITE rack kit, you get a 1073 console slice in 19".

Stepped frequency controls for precise control

Frequency controls allow fine adjustment with a range of +/- 15 dB for bass and +/- 18 dB for treble, offering total control over your sound.

Bypass for each band

Each band of the EQ-73 PREMIER is equipped with a bypass switch, allowing precise control to adjust or cut frequencies as required.

Expert advice

Vintage sound at an affordable price, offering excellent recording quality.
Indispensable for sound engineers seeking the warmth of the 1073 in a more affordable format.
