Heritage i73 PRO Edge
12 x 16 USB-C interface with integrated 2 x 73 style preamp
The i73® PRO Edge aims to provide musicians, producers and audio engineers with an easy path to that cherished analog experience that have inspired music creation since the early 70’s. The i73® PRO Edge incorporates the same Class A transformer-balanced circuitry as our classic 73 style preamps, so you’ll be able to capture your signals with all that classic mojo and vibe but, for the first time, straight from the i73® PRO Edge to your computer.
As with any of Heritage Audio’s 73 style preamps, a three way input is implemented so, whether you want to track vocals through the hearty MIC preamp with up to 70dBs of gain, an electric guitar/bass through the fast, dynamic JFET DI or the clean LINE inputs you’ll be able to route whatever the signal may be on to your DAW with true studio quality. The i73® PRO Edge even allows you to connect eight additional analogue channels via ADAT in/out.
But a 73 style Class A preamp is only the gate to get to the Full Analog Experience we were seeking… a low latency monitoring mixing console has been developed from the ground up so you’ll always hear what you need to, either through two different set of speakers or 2 different headphone cues, each with their own, independent configurable mix within the Heritage Audio MIXER running inside the i73® PRO Edge.
We are almost there but…let’s take it one step further! Process your tracks in real time within Heritage Audio’s MIXER with an ever growing comprehensive set of tools modeled after Heritage Audio’s own outboard and private gear collection running internally over i73® PRO Edge’s DSP. Record both DRY and WET streams from the MIXER to your DAW at the same time. You can even insert third party native plugins via the MIXER’s Aux channels.
i73® PRO Edge gives you the right tools to monitor your work just like in the Golden Era of recording studios out of the box so you can capture your tracks in to your DAW and finish the job taking advantage of a modern home studio workflow.
The i73® PRO Edge is our top the line interface but has two little brothers offering different I/O and features…the i73® PRO One and the i73® PRO 2, so you have options to choose whichever best suits your needs.
All i73® PRO environment has been carefully developed for over 2 years by a team of musicians, producers and engineers to ensure an outstanding user experience for all type of users, from the home recording artist to the big studio engineer. i73® PRO Edge is fully designed by musicians for musicians.
