Behringer 1273

I have no clue what the real deal 1073’s sound like. All I know is everything I put through this (kick, snare, heavy guitars, and bass, so far…) sounds better than if it’s just straight into my interface. For the money, it has given me what I hear to be a better sound. No added noise. No distortion. Decent quality given the previous reputation of Behringer. I plan to upgrade the output xformers and maybe the caps. It may all be SMD components which makes swapping caps difficult, if not impossible.

So, I thought about getting 500 series gear for my studio but in the end went for the Behringer 1273 and Comp 369 - over all I would say that both deliver although we have only had for a week or so - Di’s - acoustic and Bass sound really warm and have more depth - both manuals are a little basic so I would like a lot more from those - the other thing is should you buy clones ? I don’t have Neve money it’s as simple as that so I had to make a call on where my money went - but for my first impressions I am really happy - I dropped nearly £1000 to get the 1273 and 369 comp - but happy I did

Can't complain for the price. It sounds decent and has plenty of features. It sounds less gooey than the GAP Pre 73 MK2.

I was surprised what this machine could do! Remarkable! Gives a bit of power and than makes the sound very fine to you needs. A must have!
