Behringer 73 & 676

Behringer Introduce Legendary Microphone Preamplifiers with Midas Transformers

The classic 6176 tube mic preamp and FET compressor served as the secret sauce for some of music history’s most well-known artists and recording engineers. From artists such as Norah Jones to John Mayer, and producers like Tony Visconti and Jack Puig, the 6176 has contributed to the recordings of numerous chart-topping hits and critically acclaimed albums, further solidifying its reputation in the industry.

We want to keep that classic alive with the Behringer 676, a classic mic/line tube preamp and compressor with custom-built Midas transformers, premium 12AX7/ECC83S and 12AT7/6072 tubes for a warm and rich sound. In just a single rack unit, the 676 provides a versatile range of tonal possibilities that can bring that same timeless quality to any recording.

The 1073 was an iconic piece of hardware that took the music industry by storm and transformed into a beloved fixture in studios worldwide. This unique-sounding mic preamp was a staple in renowned studios like Abbey Road, Sound City, and Capitol Studios, and helped shape the sound of some of the greatest legends like Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder and even Adele.

Today, we pay homage to that iconic studio cornerstone with the Behringer 73, a more compact version of the Behringer 1273. Developed with one of the original engineers, their valuable knowledge and experience ensure that the 73 not only maintains the great sound of the original but also meets the demands of modern production.
