BAE 1032 Single Channel Pre and EQ
The new BAE 1032 Single Channel Pre and EQ was inspired by the frequencies of the classic 1081. It uses the same high-quality components and manufacturing techniques used in other BAE modules featuring the same Class A transformer-coupled circuits and same modular cards for long-term serviceability.
Along with the passive inductor high-pass filter, the BAE 1032 4-band equaliser provides greater coverage. The high-mid and low-mid frequencies overlap for flexibility in correcting problem frequencies. The BAE 1032 also provides a more comprehensive high-frequency shelf up to 24kHz for extended high-frequency correction without compromising the mid-range.
Many people loved the EQ portion of the 1081 but the amplifier was class A/B. Our clients told us that they prefer the class A output and so we now have a 1081 inspired equalizer with a 1073 preamp.
Features
- Inspired by the 1081 EQ points using the same inductor specifications.
- Class A transformer-coupled.
- Hand wired, all discrete using modular cards.
- 4-band with HPF.
- Low and High Mid-band overlapping frequencies.
- Extended selection for high frequency shelving.
- High quality Swiss made Elma® rotary switches.
* Please note that this unit requires a BAE 24V PSU to operate.
The power supply can run 2 units simultaneously thats why units are sold separately as well.
