TAF 1073
Each item is individually hand made to our exacting standards.The TAF 1073 DP is a high quality 2 channel microphone
preamplifier hosted in a 1U rack case. Big and present sound
with a harmonically rich low end and very focused mid range.
This is our recreation of the famous 1073 type Class A
preamplifier without the additional EQ found on this classic unit.
The design employs an all transistor based 3 gain stage
preamplifier circuit, all discreet transformer-coupled on both
inputs and outputs. High headroom, very low distortion and lots
of available gain are the characteristics of this design.
We use only high quality components with tight tolerances. Also
due to carefully placement of inside components, a very low
crosstalk between channels is achieved. A separate power supply
helps to achieve very low noise operation.
An interesting function is the output trim selector switch that
converts the output level control to a 0 to -80 dB output fader
level control or a 0 to -6 dB output level trim control. With this in
hand you can use the gain rotary switch at very high levels and
attenuate the output level control to obtain a proper signal level
at the output without clipping the tape machine or DAW
converters. Conversely you can use this output level control to
match the levels between channels precisely with a 0 to -6 dB
range.
Both channels have a HI Z input on front panel for instruments
and keyboards.
It can be ordered without the TAF B283 internal boards. This is a
good solution for those who have the luxury of having an original
vintage NEVE B283 or B183 boards and want to make a full
preamplifier out of them. You have to open the unit and plug
those boards to the internal 18 pin connector and they will be
ready to work with all of the features
2 channels of the classic English console preamplifier sound Front panel switch for phantom power and polarity reversal Grayhill rotary switch gain control from 15 to 70 dB gain in 5 dB steps Input impedance selector switch between 1200 and 300 ohms HIZ JFET input on the front panel Up to 70 dB of available gain (It can be raised up to 75 dB with internal jumper option) Carnhill input and output transformers High quality Bourns conductive plastic potentiometer on output trim control High quality tantalum and polystyrene capacitors on audio signal path Comes with gold Neutrik XLR input and output connectors.
