Heritage Audio i73 Pro One USB Audio Interface

Heritage Audio i73 Pro One USB Audio Interface

1-channel USB-C Audio Interface with 1 Vintage-style Preamp; Mic, Line, and Instrument Inputs; and DSP-powered Mixer for Real-time Processing 

Vintage Sonics and Cutting-edge DSP

Heritage Audio’s i73 Pro One is a single-channel USB-C audio interface with a classic 73-style preamp onboard. Taking inspiration from the legendary British “73” console module that wrote the book on characterful mic preamplification, the i73 Pro One leverages old-school transformer-balanced, pure Class A circuit topologies to deliver the assertive vintage-flavored sonics that made the originals sought after by discerning audio pros for over half a century. Painstakingly developed over the course of two years by a talented team of musicians, producers, and engineers, the i73 Pro One is packed with sophisticated features aimed at the modern DAW-based studio. And since it’s powered by sophisticated DSP for real-time processing with imperceptible latency, the i73 Pro One provides unprecedented versatility for a compact audio interface. Finally, the i73 Pro One includes a suite of exclusive plug-ins to add even more tools to your musical tool kit. Add one to your studio setup and hear what you’ve been missing!

Peak performance from mic, line, and instrument sources

The Heritage Audio i73 Pro One transforms microphone selection into an artistic decision rather than a technical one. With 70dB of gain on tap, you’ll be able to choose mics for their sonic qualities, not their output. Finally, you can feel free to deploy your favorite low-output passive ribbon mic on quiet sources! The i73 Pro One also accommodates instrument sources via its great-sounding front-panel JFET hi-Z DI input as well as line-level sources via the 1/4-inch jack on its rear-panel XLR combo connector and an adjacent 1/4-inch jack. TRS jacks are also provided for connecting studio monitors and headphones.

Real-time processing via the DSP-powered mixer

The i73 Pro One incorporates an onboard ultra-low-latency DSP-powered virtual mixing console that gives you flexible monitoring through speakers or headphones — each with its own independent configurable mix within the mixer. But there’s more! It also lets you process your tracks in real time with an ever-growing set of effects based on Heritage Audio’s own private gear collection. You can even record both wet and dry streams from the mixer to your DAW simultaneously as well as insert third-party native plug-ins via the mixer’s Aux channels. Offering deliciously warm and punchy sonics and amazing operational flexibility, the i73 Pro One is a compelling value that’s just too good to pass up!

Includes a suite of exclusive plug-ins

This Heritage Audio interface offers you more than exceptional sound quality and versatility. You also get a suite of exclusive plug-ins modeled after rare, legendary studio hardware. These plug-ins cover plenty of sonic ground, from preamp emulations to delays, reverbs, and beyond. Plus, some of the plug-ins come with complementary DSP versions, which run within the i73 interface itself, freeing up processing power on your computer.
