Golden Age Project Pre73 JR Compact Vintage Style Microphone Preamp

The Golden Age Project PRE-73 Jr is a microphone preamp / direct box created for professional recording applications. It's a 1073-style preamp designed after the famous Neve 1073. The output level control makes it easy to make fine gain adjustments and also to overload the main gain stage for more character and then lower the signal to a suitable level before the output stage.

The PRE-73 Jr is the little brother to the best selling PRE-73 Mk2. It uses the same discrete (no IC´s) signal path with a transformer balanced input and output. The smaller format makes it possible to mount four units in the 19-inch rack kit, UNITE MKII (sold seperately). The build quality is solid and will provide many years of normal use.
