The Next Gen of Golden Age Pre 73, the MKII offers all the great sound quality modeled after Neve's 1073, and adds a lower noise floor, and greater dynamic range. The Golden Age Project Pre73 MKII provides a low cost microphone preamp with a discrete signal path with seperate transformers for the balanced mic input, the line input and the output. The MKII model Pre73 even adds a rear-panel insert for EQ and dynamics processing.

Golden Age Project Pre73 MKII Mic Preamp Features:

Lower noise floor and Greater Dynamic Range than the Original Pre73 Preamp
Vintage Style electronics with no integrated circuits in the signal path
80dB Max gain easily handles passive ribbon microphones with quiet sound sources
-20 to +10dB Gain range on the Line input
Switchable 1200 or 300 Ohm impedance on the microphone input
Switchable phantom power and absolute phase
High-impedance instrument input for connecting sound modules, electric guitar or bass
A simple but effective 4-step LED output level meter
The output level control offers:
Fine gain adjustments
Overloading the main gain stage(s) for more character
Lowering the signal to a suitable level before the output stage
Combo XLR/TRS input jacks and separate output XLR and TRS jacks
Pre73 MKII adds a rear-panel insert for EQ and dynamics processing
Includes external high power power supply
Golden Age Project Pre73 MKII Mic Preamp also offers a high-impedance instrument input making it the perfect solution for nearly any signal source whether for microphones with a higher or lower sensitivity, synthesizers, sound modules or an electric guitar or bass.

The versatile sound of the Pre73 MKII works incredibly with most sound sources and in most genres. The Golden Age Project Pre73 MKII has a maximum gain of 80 dB on the microphone input and the gain range on the Line input is -20 to + 10 dB.

The input impedance of the microphone input can be switched between 300 and 1200 ohms, making it possible to affect the tone of most microphones. There is also phase switch and a simple 4-step LED signal level meter.

The output level control on this preamp makes it possible 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.
