About the VPRE-73 Plug-in
Vintage pre-amp emulation
The VPRE-73 plug-in is inspired by one of the
most classic preamps in professional recording
studio history. While streamlining the original
processor, we did our best to bring you an au-
thentic emulation of the discrete preamp cir-
cuitry and audio transformers, but also retained
the famous high shelf filter band.
The VPRE-73 provides you with the low end
magic, the high end sparkle and just the right
amount of THD required to recreate a unique
and classic vibe.
Plugin Activation & System Requirements
Black Rooster Audio plug-ins are equipped with
a straightforward and easy to use challenge-re-
sponse activation system. We did our best to
make sure our system works well for both online
and offline users. By supporting USB key activa-
tion, mobile use is supported and just as easy as
permanent activation of your computer‘s hard
disk.
For detailed information about the activati-
on process and the current system requirements
of our plug-ins please refer to:

Key features
Authentic sound
Our real time SPICE type component based cir-
cuit simulation approach allows to authenti-
cally capture the sound and feel of the analog
counterpart in all nuances. Every crucial part of
the circuit, including the input and output au-
dio transformers, the discrete preamp circuit,
as well as the HF shelving filter band have been
faithfully modeled.
SSE2 optimized code
DSP operations are pipe-lined using the SSE2
instruction set. This ensures highest possible
performance operation despite very complex
computations.
Auto-adjusted oversampling for maximum audio
transparency
Aliasing artifacts are efficiently attenuated us-
ing a low latency linear phase Dolph-Chebyshev
poly-phase design. The oversampling is auto
adjusted to your session‘s sample rate to save
valuable CPU power while offering the most
transparent sound possible.
HighDPI / Retina support
All our plug-Ins support high pixel density on
Mac OSX and Windows to bring you the most
enjoyable user experience on high DPI displays.
Please refer to your manual to find whether your
DAW is HighDPI capable if you‘re working on
Windows.
