Behringer 1273 — dual-channel preamplifier with EQ

The Behringer 1273 combines two Class A preamplifier channels with independent three-band equalisers. It accepts microphone, line and instrument signals and uses Midas transformers at the inputs and outputs. Stepped gain control provides up to 80 dB of amplification. Selectable EQ frequencies and a high-pass filter help shape a source before recording, while separate LED meters make it easier to set the two channel levels.
