Description
BAE 1032 Mic Pre/EQ Module is a Class-A transformer-coupled mic/line preamp and four-band equalizer module. BAE describes the 1032 as inspired by 1081 EQ points using the same inductor specifications, with a hand-wired, all-discrete circuit on modular cards, Swiss-made Elma rotary switches and a passive inductor high-pass filter. Retailer technical data lists an 80 dB Class-A microphone preamp with selectable high/low input impedance, transformer-balanced/floating line input and output, and a 4-band EQ: high shelving at 10, 12, 16, 20 or 24 kHz; low shelving at 35, 60, 110 or 220 Hz; upper-mid and lower-mid peaking bands with 1081-style overlapping frequency ranges; and an 18 dB/octave HPF at 50, 80, 160 or 300 Hz.
