Golden Age Project Pre-73 Jr 1073 Vintage Style Microphone Preamp

The Golden Age Project PRE73 Jr is the little brother to our big seller, the PRE73. It uses the same discrete (no ICs) signal path with a transformer balanced in and output. In order to be able to offer this classic and musical sound character at an even more affordable price point, we did scale down on some features that are seldom used. All the things needed for making great sounding recordings are there and the smaller format makes it possible to mount four units in our 19-inch rack kit, the UNITE MKII.

• GAIN switch range 20 – 70 dB.
