Overview

1073 Style Tabletop Stereo Mic Preamp/DI

Standing for DUAL TABLETOP 73, it is in essence a reformatted DMA73.The DTT-73 brings a new flavor to the Heritage Audio line of outboard gear, widening the range of application to On Stage use, portable systems, hotel rooms, On Location recordings, etc.

Now musicians are able to give 1073-driven line levels to FOH engineers, using the front panel DI inputs. While on the road they are able to record at the same studio quality level from hotel rooms, etc. Stage microphones can be brought up to line level without using long cable runs. These are just some of the possibilities.

Special care has been taken with the internal universal power supply so that no noise has been introduced.

The implementation of DI thru jacks allows simultaneous use of instrument amplifiers. A ground lift switch prevents any ground loops introducing hum in the audio when using these.

The combination of wood and RAF blue grey steel makes the tabletop units aesthetically stand out in any professional recording environment.
