The Heritage Audio i73 Pro Edge is a USB-C audio interface that combines modern convenience with the timeless sound of classic British 73-style preamps. With two vintage-inspired preamps, eight channels of ADAT Lightpipe I/O, and a DSP-powered mixer, the i73 Pro Edge is designed for the modern DAW-based studio but with an unmistakable vintage character. Whether you’re tracking, mixing, or mastering, this interface provides you with rich, warm tones and versatile features to meet all your audio production needs. With its impeccable sound quality, intuitive controls, and exclusive plug-ins, the i73 Pro Edge is a must-have addition to your studio.
Classic 73-Style Preamps with Modern Versatility
At the heart of the i73 Pro Edge are two Class A 73-style preamps that deliver up to 70dB of gain. These preamps are ideal for both high-output microphones and low-output passive ribbon microphones, allowing you to select your mics based on their sonic qualities, not just their output level. Whether you’re using a condenser, dynamic, or ribbon mic, the preamps provide a lush, harmonic-rich sound with a vibrant, punchy character that has become synonymous with vintage British gear. The i73 Pro Edge also includes dedicated inputs for line-level and instrument sources via its JFET hi-Z DI input and rear-panel XLR combo connectors.
Powerful DSP Mixer for Real-Time Processing
The i73 Pro Edge features an ultra-low-latency DSP-powered virtual mixer that allows you to monitor and mix in real time with independent mixes for speakers and headphones. This powerful onboard mixer gives you complete flexibility, with the ability to adjust levels, effects, and more. The real-time processing capabilities allow you to apply a growing collection of exclusive plug-ins directly within the interface, saving processing power on your computer and enabling you to shape your sound in the moment. You can even record both wet and dry signals simultaneously to your DAW, giving you the flexibility to add effects or make adjustments later.
Expanded Connectivity with ADAT I/O and MIDI
For those needing more inputs and outputs, the i73 Pro Edge offers eight additional analog channels via ADAT Lightpipe I/O, making it an excellent choice for more complex sessions. This feature gives you the ability to easily integrate with other equipment and expand your setup when needed. The i73 Pro Edge also includes a MIDI DIN in/out connector, providing even more flexibility for controlling other hardware devices or incorporating MIDI instruments into your sessions.
Exclusive Plug-ins to Enhance Your Workflow
Included with the i73 Pro Edge are several exclusive plug-ins modeled after legendary studio hardware. These plug-ins cover a wide sonic range, from preamp emulations to delays, reverbs, and more. Some of the plug-ins come with DSP versions, which run directly within the interface, further optimizing your computer’s resources. By registering the i73 Pro Edge, you’ll gain access to these plug-ins, expanding your creative possibilities and giving you the tools to add signature effects to your tracks.
High-Quality Conversion and Professional Features
The i73 Pro Edge features class-leading AD/DA conversion, ensuring that every recording and mix captures pristine detail and clarity. With recording, mixing, and playback capabilities at up to 24-bit/192kHz, you can be confident that every nuance of your sound will be accurately represented. The interface also includes essential features like 48V phantom power, pad, polarity reverse, and monitoring controls, ensuring that you have all the tools you need to produce high-quality audio with ease.
