Heritage Audio i73Pro 2 USB Audio Interface

Heritage Audio i73 Pro 2 USB Audio Interface Overview
The Heritage Audio i73 Pro 2 USB Audio Interface brings the iconic 73-style preamp sound to your computer setup, merging vintage warmth with cutting-edge technology. Featuring two Class A preamps and DSP-powered real-time processing, the i73 Pro 2 delivers exceptional sound quality and flexibility for any recording situation. Inspired by the legendary British “73” console modules, this interface is designed to meet the needs of modern DAW-based studios while preserving the vintage characteristics that have made these preamps a go-to for audio professionals for over 50 years. Whether you're tracking vocals, instruments, or mixing your projects, the i73 Pro 2 delivers warm, punchy sound and unparalleled operational ease.

Iconic 73-Style Preamp Sound with Modern Features
At the heart of the Heritage Audio i73 Pro 2 are two vintage-inspired 73-style preamps, each delivering up to 70dB of gain. This allows you to use your favorite low-output passive ribbon mics or condenser mics with confidence, bringing out the full potential of any microphone regardless of its output. Whether you’re working with dynamic, condenser, or ribbon mics, this interface gives you the flexibility to select microphones for their sonic qualities rather than their output levels. Additionally, the i73 Pro 2 offers dedicated instrument inputs through its JFET high-impedance DI input, providing rich, detailed sound from your guitar, bass, or any other instrument.

Real-Time DSP Processing for Efficient Workflow
A standout feature of the i73 Pro 2 is its DSP-powered virtual mixing console, which allows for real-time processing with imperceptible latency. This virtual mixer gives you the ability to monitor and mix your tracks with independent mixes for headphones and speakers, making it easier to track and monitor in real-time. The onboard DSP also allows you to apply various effects based on Heritage Audio’s own collection of studio hardware, offering a wide range of creative possibilities for your recordings. The ability to record both wet and dry signals to your DAW simultaneously provides a unique advantage in mixing, enabling you to apply additional processing or tweak the effects later in post-production.

Exclusive Plug-ins Included for Enhanced Versatility
When you purchase the Heritage Audio i73 Pro 2, you gain access to a suite of exclusive plug-ins designed to complement your audio production. These plug-ins are modeled after rare and legendary studio hardware, including preamp emulations, delays, reverbs, and more. With the included DSP versions, some of the plug-ins run directly within the i73 Pro 2 interface itself, offloading the processing from your computer’s CPU. This means that even with complex sessions, you’ll maintain optimal performance while expanding your creative possibilities. The included plug-ins, such as BritStrip and HA 240 Gold Foil Verb, add even more tools to your musical toolkit.

High-Quality Conversion and Superior Sound Performance
The i73 Pro 2 ensures that every recording and mix captures the detail and clarity that is crucial for professional-grade work. The interface boasts class-leading AD/DA conversion, recording, mixing, and playback at up to 24-bit/192kHz, ensuring that every element of your track is captured with pristine clarity. With its 48V phantom power, pad, and polarity reverse, the i73 Pro 2 is fully equipped to handle a wide variety of audio sources. The interface also includes multiple output options, including analog headphone and TRS monitor outputs, which are independently controlled via the virtual onboard mixer, allowing for precise monitoring flexibility.
