Enter now for your chance to win a brand-new i73 PRO Edge audio interface from Heritage Audio, worth €1499$1499!
Based in Madrid, Spain, Heritage Audio were founded in 2011 with the aim of making high‑quality, vintage‑sounding gear available to the masses. They’ve released a number of products based on such legendary gear as the Fairchild 660 compressor and Motown EQ, as well as their own original designs.
The Prize
For this exclusive SOS competition, we’ve teamed up with Heritage Audio to offer you the chance to win their brand-new i73 PRO Edge. This premium USB audio interface combines a pair of preamps based on a legendary British circuit, plus a host of features that make it ideal for integrating into modern workflows.
The preamps employ Class‑A transformer‑balanced circuitry to impart analogue mojo to all of your recordings, and can provide up to 70dB of gain on mic signals. They offer all the features you could wish for, from stepped gain controls to polarity switching, an input pad and phantom power. Mic and line signals are catered for through combi inputs on the rear panel, while two jacks on the front allow for convenient DI’ing of guitars and basses via a J‑FET input stage. A separate output gain trim for each preamp allows you to drive the input transformers while still keeping levels manageable.
The right‑hand side of the unit is dominated by a monitor control section, which is based around an endless encoder plus buttons for mono, dim and mute. There are also two independent headphone outputs, whose levels and mix sources can also be controlled using the rotary encoder.
But the i73 PRO Edge is more than just a stereo interface: in addition to its preamp inputs and monitor outs, it boasts a pair of line-only inputs, plus two further line outs — meaning you can use external hardware in your DAW, or hook up a secondary pair of monitors. It also sports optical ADAT ports, making it easy to expand the I/O. Internally, the interface hosts a mixer that caters for latency‑free foldback mixes and even analogue‑modelled processing, courtesy of a growing range of plug‑ins. These include emulations of a classic delay unit, an iconic bass amp, a vintage tape recorder, a plate reverb, and even Heritage’s own BritStrip channel.
The i73 PRO Edge is more than just a stereo interface...
