Description

The 1023 Mic Pre/EQ 19" Rackmount Pair with PSU is a handwired dual-channel unit that brings classic analog character together with expanded tonal control. Built with Carnhill transformers and based on the same revered mic/line preamp design as the 1073, it delivers a rich, full-bodied sound that suits everything from vocals and instruments to full mixes. Housed in a convenient 1RU rack format with an included power supply, it offers a ready-to-use solution for studio environments that value both sound quality and workflow efficiency.

What sets the 1023 apart is its extended EQ flexibility, offering more selectable frequencies in both the mid and high ranges for deeper and more precise tone shaping. This added control allows users to creatively blend the mid band with the high and low shelves, opening up a wider range of musical possibilities. With its intuitive layout, broad gain range, and detailed equalization options, the 1023 pair provides a versatile and expressive front end for recording and mixing applications.
