Every so often an iconic piece of hardware takes the music industry by storm and transforms into a beloved fixture in studios worldwide. The 1073 was one such piece of gear. A mic preamp with a unique voice and rich sound, it became famous for shaping the sounds of many music generations, from the grit of ‘70s rock and roll, to the polished pop of the ‘80s. It was a staple in renowned studios like Abbey Road, Sound City, and Capitol Studios and influenced iconic tracks like Led Zeppelin’s “When the Levee Breaks” as well as The Who’s “Who’s Next.”

Behringer now pays homage to that iconic studio cornerstone with the Behringer 1273, a two-channel microphone preamplifier, with built in EQ. The 1273 is more than just a remake. Developed with one of the original engineers, their valuable knowledge and experience ensures that the 1273 not only remains faithful to the original but is able to meet the demands of modern production.

PROFESSIONAL DYNAMIC VOCAL MICROPHONE

Designed, machined, assembled, and tested by Audix in the USA, the OM11 vocal dynamic microphone was first issued in 1985 as the OM1. This microphone is a dynamic vocal microphone used for a wide variety of stage, studio, and broadcast applications. Its sharp, crisp vocal sound, resistance to feedback, and ability to handle high SPLs without distortion are trademarks of the OM11.

The OM11 dynamic vocal microphone is designed with a tight, uniformly controlled Hypercardioid polar pattern which helps isolate the vocals on stage. The response of the OM11 is tailored to cut through the mix, providing extra presence and articulation to the vocals even at very high stage volumes. In addition to having extremely low handling noise, the OM11 Hypercardioid microphone is well balanced, comfortable to hold, and durable.

• Professional set of 7 drum mics for stage or studio
• ADX51 condensers for overheads add spacial dimension
• Easy to set up and position
• Mics work in tandem to replicate each drum accurately and independently

FireBall™ dynamic instrument microphone

Designed for harmonicas (both diatonic and chromatic) and beatbox. Clear, accurate, and capable of handling SPLs in excess of 140 dB without distortion, the FireBall™ is ideally suited for both live stage and studio recording applications.

• Presence boost switch +1.5db and 3db
• Hyper Cardioid
• Plug & Play brilliant sound with excellent default gain level
• Low noise preamp circuitry
• Frequency response optimized for vocal performance
