Quick look at BAE's 1028 (Black):

The BAE 1028 is a hand-wired Class A mic/line preamp and EQ, offering the legendary warmth of the 1073 preamp with expanded mid and high-frequency options for unparalleled tonal shaping. Built with Carnhill (St. Ives) transformers, this unit delivers rich harmonics, musical depth, and vintage character, making it a top choice for professional engineers and producers. The mid bell curve can be strategically played against the high and low shelves, allowing for precise and musical EQ adjustments. With 28 selectable frequencies, including the low-pass filter from the 1084, the BAE 1028 offers the perfect blend of classic analog warmth and modern flexibility, making it a powerhouse for tracking, mixing, and shaping your sound.

Product Features:

  • All Class A, transformer-coupled design in a 19" 1U chassis
  • Line level XLR inputs for extra versatility as a line preamp
  • High impedance DI for guitars and synths
  • Regulated linear power supply will run up to four channels
  • Black faceplate

  • The 1028 is completely hand-wired using Carnhill (St. Ives) transformers. It has the exact same mic/line preamp as the 1073, but with significantly more frequencies in the mid and hi sections. Aside from simply offering more frequency settings to play with, these expanded EQ sections also allow you to play the mid bell curve directly against the high and low shelves where they overlap. This capability opens the tone shaping possibilities in very interesting and musical ways. The 1028 includes the same low pass filter as the 1084, giving it 28 frequencies.

    • High Frequency: +/-16dB shelving with selectable frequencies of 10kHz, 12kHz, 16kHz, 20kHz and 24kHz
    • Low Frequency: +/-16dB shelving with selectable frequencies of 35Hz, 60Hz, 110Hz & 220Hz.
    • Mid Range: +/-12dB or +/-18dB peaking with switchable selectable center frequencies of 160Hz, 270Hz, 360Hz, 510Hz, 700Hz, 1.6kHz, 3.2kHz, 4.8kHz, 7.2kHz, 8.2kHz, 10kHz.
    • High Pass Filter: 18dB per octave slope, switchable between 45Hz, 70Hz, 160Hz & 360Hz.
