Heritage Audio 73 JR PREAMP | Legendary Hardware, Perfectly Recreated '73 Style Microphone Preamp Plugin
Trust us, you've never heard a sound this authentic.
About fifteen years ago, Heritage Audio's founder, leveraging his deep knowledge as a music producer and engineer, set out to meticulously recreate and improve his favorite microphone preamplifier, no expense spared. At the time, the professional audio market was flooded with expensive vintage gear or shoddy imitations. It wasn't until Heritage Audio emerged that the legendary sound was truly brought to the masses, forever changing the industry. Now, the warm, rich, and punchy sound of the industry-standard Heritage Audio 73 JR hardware is finally reborn as an analog emulation plugin. We spent months precisely digitally modeling every critical component of the hardware, from the exclusive Carnhill transformers to the unique Class A circuitry. This is not just another 73 preamp emulation, but the ultimate recreation of our own classic hardware, bringing unprecedented analog soul to your digital audio workstation.
Product Features
- Derived from Classic Hardware: 100% Faithful Recreation of the Heritage Audio 73 JR 500 series hardware preamp, trusted by professional studios worldwide, ensuring absolute sonic authenticity.
- Exclusive Carnhill Transformers: Precisely modeled our custom-made Carnhill input and output transformers. The input transformer, manufactured at Carnhill's Oxford factory, is key to shaping the sound's punch and unique magic; the output transformer, produced at the St Ives factory, adds a classic silky texture to the sound.
- Pure Class A High-Pass Filter: Recreates the unique discrete Class A High-Pass Filter from the hardware, allowing you to easily tighten low frequencies, remove unwanted rumble, without affecting the frequencies you want to keep, resulting in cleaner and more precise sound processing.
- Modern Parallel Processing: Beyond the perfect recreation, we've added an extra BLEND knob. This allows you to easily mix the processed, saturated signal with the original dry signal, enabling powerful parallel gain staging and creating richer tonal layers.
- Build Your Virtual Console: As a plugin, you can instantiate any number of 73 JR instances on your tracks as needed, transforming your digital mixing environment into a classic British console filled with warm analog character.
- Unparalleled Authenticity: We've invested significant resources in development and comparison to ensure the 73 JR plugin is the closest representation of the original hardware sound on the market. Its delicate dynamic response and rich harmonic distortion will breathe life into your music.
