A versatile preamp that adds vintage warmth and punch to your recordings.
The PRE-73 MKIV preamp from Golden Age Project brings the classic sound of vintage British consoles to your studio. Whether you're recording vocals, acoustic instruments, drums or anything else, the PRE-73 MKIV lets you easily dial in just the right amount of warm analog saturation and punch. Its versatile design also makes it ideal as a DI box for electric guitar, bass and keyboards. For those seeking vintage tone and character without breaking the bank, the PRE-73 MKIV preamp delivers.
Broad Tonal Palette
The PRE-73 MKIV gives you a wide range of tone-shaping controls to capture just the sound you're after. Turn up the Gain to drive the preamp tubes and get that sought-after vintage grit and punch. An independent Output control lets you crank the Gain without overloading your interface. Engage the -14dB pad for even more headroom with hot signals. Roll off rumbling lows with the low-pass filter or add shimmer to the highs with the Air EQ switch. Plus, the selectable impedance lets your mics perform at their best.
Delivers the Gain You Need
With up to 80dB of gain on tap, the PRE-73 MKIV provides all the clean boost you need to amplify signals from low-output mics and instruments. Ribbon mics, dynamic mics and passive pickups all thrive through its robust gain stage. Take full advantage of every nuance and detail from your favorite vintage microphones.
Built From Quality Components
Golden Age Project designed the PRE-73 MKIV using tried and true methods, with no integrated circuits or surface mount components. All inputs and outputs are transformer balanced for noise reduction and superb audio quality. The external power supply eliminates unwanted noise. Housed in a rugged half-rack metal chassis, the PRE-73 MKIV is built to deliver years of great tone.
