Vintech Audio X73 Mic Pre EQ Pair Preamps

The brand's flagship is the X73, a single-channel mic preamp/EQ modeled on the Neve 1073 module, and its updated sibling the X73i. The two-channel 273 and four-channel 473 offer the same core topology in multi-channel chassis, while the 573 brings the X73 preamp stage into the 500-series format. Vintech is widely regarded alongside BAE, Chandler, and AMS Neve as one of the key builders in the post-1990s wave of 1073-style reproductions and is a common fixture in tracking rooms looking for the Neve sound at a more accessible price point than vintage originals.
