BAE-1073 is based on a legendary three-band hardware EQ that became a studio staple thanks to its rich, warm sound, with a high-pass filter ahead of the EQ bands for tracking and mixing alike.

BAE-1073 is famous for its warm, musical sound and is often used on vocals and drums, yet it works its magic on any source. Antelope meticulously measured and studied the behaviour of the original unit to get as close as possible to its sound: the EQ delivers the grit and character of the original without overtly colouring the signal. That makes it the right choice when you want the classic British EQ sound without sacrificing clarity. The original dates back to the early 1970s and can still be found in almost every top-tier studio today.
