A reimagined "DMA73": the 73 philosophy in DUAL TABLETOP format
The DTT-73 (for "DUAL TABLETOP 73") captures the essence of a DMA73 in a reformatted presentation, aimed at more mobile and versatile uses. While a 73-style preamp is often associated with racks and fixed studios, this tabletop version clearly expands the playing field: stage, portable systems, on-location recordings, temporary control rooms, and compact home studio setups.
Its goal is simple: to maintain an audio path with a distinctive character and generous output level, while offering a "ready-to-place" ergonomics and connections adapted to the real constraints of live and mobile use.
Who is it for and what are its uses?
The DTT-73 is intended for musicians, sound engineers, and producers who want to regain a "73" preamp signature without relying on a fully equipped studio. On tour, it allows recording with consistent quality from untreated locations (hotel rooms, dressing rooms, apartments), while keeping a simple and reliable chain.
On stage, it becomes a practical tool to provide "1073-driven" line levels directly to the front of house via the front panel DI inputs. It can also be used to boost a stage microphone to line level without imposing long cable runs, which helps preserve dynamics and reduce risks related to complex electrical environments.

Questions frequently asked
Can the Heritage Audio DTT-73 record two sources simultaneously?
Its 2 channels allow simultaneous preamplification of two microphones, line sources, or instruments via the DI inputs.
Are ribbon microphones compatible with this preamplifier?
The HI mic input impedance is at least 1,200 ohms. Higher gain settings progressively increase the impedance, with optimization announced for ribbon microphones used at low gain.
Is it possible to send a bass signal to both an amplifier and the front of house at the same time?
The DI THRU jacks allow the instrument signal to be sent to an amplifier while feeding the recording chain or the front of house. The unbalanced DI input presents an impedance above 2 megaohms. A ground lift helps reduce ground loops in a stage setup.
What output level does this tabletop preamp provide?
The floating balanced output on Carnhill transformer exceeds +26 dBm into 600 ohms, with an output impedance below 75 ohms.
Is the DTT-73 suitable for mobile or desktop installation?
Its dual tabletop format is designed for temporary control rooms, on-location recordings, and compact installations. The chassis combines wood and steel with a RAF blue grey finish, while the internal worldwide power supply is designed to minimize noise induced near the audio transformers.
